What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

yeah that wouldn't work for me...here's how mine sits.

 

Yeah it fits "no lift, some rubbing"

It is damaging my wallet a little though, but better than carrying keys and wallet and phone. I park in the garage so don't need to carry a house key.

 

Keep us posted!

 

Anyone in Vegas have Techstream??

 

Damn, that's rad. I wish I could do that. The biggest advantage of having that slim card for me would be since I drive two different push start toyotas, I could potentially have two different slim keys in the wallet instead of carrying bulky keysets

 

A Google search found that card key - expect to pay over $200 for that little convenience!

 

Yeaaahhhhhh....I'm a little hesitant because I don't want to have to deal with returning it if it doesn't work. we'll see.

So I took my truck in Tuesday for 6 month checkup (3600 miles) and asked for the transmission fluid check (multiple times and explanations of how and why). They told me that they did not do this today and it takes a long time (8 hours) and isn't needed but i could schedule it for later if i wanted to. I left and requested a call from the service manager, and after calling back twice to make sure he would call me he finally did. I told him how i didnt think it was good customer service to not do what i asked after i had asked multiple times and spelled out what i wanted done. he said that it would not be needed on a new car and there is no issue and the computer will tell you all you need to know. i told him i had researched this and know there are some issues. he then told me not to believe everything i read on the internet (twice). he told me i could bring it in and they would do the check and wouldnt charge me anything. then he told me not to rate them badly because anything less than a '10' is considering failing and would look bad. so what to do....?

 

I unloaded mine for a 2017 Cement TRD Pro. And in case anyone is considering wheels/tires and suspension, here you go...

would like to know if this works as well.

 

I would tell him to check his facts and expect a piss poor survey as well for their lack of performing requested tasks on your vehicle and than never return to that dealership again for service.
I know last time I took my Venza in for service the service writer was being kind of a douche so I made mention of it to the service manager and told him that due to this last experience that A) I no longer would use them for service especially since I had just used my last Free oil change and everything else would be out of pocket and B) I was planning on purchasing whats now my new Tacoma soon and would not buy it from them as there are plenty of other dealers in town who would be happy to have my business. He did end up making it right and I am sure the service writer I was dealing with got a well deserved ass chewing. that vehicle was Our Venza was out third brand new Toyota I purchased from them and the service manager likely knew I was a repeat customer as he knows me enough to recognize me when I am in as he has seen my face for well over 7 years from time to time. It did still leave a sour taste in my mouth and I did end up buying my Tacoma from their competition never even giving them an opportunity to play ball. Bottom line is if you request a service they should perform said service no matter what they think is right.

 

It helps if you call the service department at least a week to 10 days before and tell them while you have them on the phone you would like your transmission fluid checked. It has to be at a certain temp from my understanding. The service dept. told me when I called they would have me a loaner car on stand by for the day I brought my truck in for the 6 month check up. Anyhow...The 6 month check up is a joke. When I get my oil changed each fall, I'll get it done at Walmart.

 

Looks like it going to cost about $200 and need someone with Techstream, I guess I'll sit and watch if anyone successfully gets it done on their 3rd gen

 

Twinsies!

 

Did you notice if it reduced the busyness at 2100 rpm?

 

Hmm... so sexy! got it all mounted and installed.

 

Can someone link me which MBRP system everyone is using? Or at least whichever one has the least cutting involved. I'd like to make sure I have the right one before doing this. 3 weeks out from moving to Cali and getting the wrong exhaust system would kinda suck...and I'd never hear the end of it from the wife...

 

So ended up being a faulty sensor.... hmmm....

 

Got the windows tinted today and on Monday I installed the Rough Country leveling kit.. next tires (hopefully next week) and then Nerf Bar
