What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got in on the list for the Apex/CaliRaised LED group buy!

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/apex-cali-raised-led-and-mount-group-buy.435029

 

Well today i got my return number for the husky weather beater floor liners i bought. Getting them replaced with the husky ex-act contour floor liners. Finished the cali-raised 31.5" led stealth mounted light bar with APEX mount. Also threw in the new oem bed mat and ordered up a new set of Mobtown bolt on sliders. Now i need to get the interior led light kit, led reverse lights and led high and low beam headlights. What are the very best led headlights...? Don't care about the cost just want the best as my eyes need the help...!!

 

Why not get HID's? You already have the projectors.

 

What tire size do you have?

 

How was the install process with the Apex mount?

And I just purchased the MobTown sliders yesterday as well haha

 

Some of the reading ive done says the led's will last longer and will fit in just plug and play. I dont have any experience with the HID or led systems. The HID's fit in the projector housing..? What are the best HID system's. What are the differences between the two systems..? I hate the yellow lights and want the best light i can get.

 

The APEX install went very well. Looked like a factory install when finished. Went with the 3d spot flood combo but wondered if i should have went with the 4d spot system. Very happy with both products as they are very high quality. The mounts are bullet proof and the light seems very good quality but time will tell.
Cant wait for the sliders to come in so i can get them powder coated...!!!

 

Nice, thanks! I'm debating between powder coating and line-x'n them.

 

Actually...this seems like an idea to build on...

We need to start a new thread in the 3rd gen forums for people to give their dealership horror stories. If the can give enough proof of shitty situation, we could take turns flooding the dealership Yelp page below a 1 * avg.

Hmmmmm...

 

Ya thinking of the line-x as an option as well.

 

Looks like it has a Taxi meter on the dash and a police spot light on rear tool box! WTF'nF

 

I love their work and products, but seriously, probably the worst website I've ever visited. I'd really be interested in having them do a bumper for me but their site shows virtually nothing regarding finished products.

You know if they have any other online galleries?

What to do??? He told you right there. Rate them badly, and with much vigor. Then you send him the poor rating, and tell him you'd love to change it, but doing so would take quite a long time to fix, and that honestly changing your poor review isn't really required since he's still able to do his job even with that bad review. Then tell him you guys you'd be willing to do it another day, if you can get to it.

Has anyone went to a dealer yet that has had the tooling to check trans fluid level
no matter the temperature?? My dealer doesn't have it. With the tooling
they could probably check it easily in less than 45 minutes I would think..

I too saw this video, posted it, and was quickly corrected by members that this is only for FWD cars.

 

I asked the same questions, did some research, and will be going with Morimoto HIDs for the low beams and LEDs for the high beams. Of course, LEDs will last longer compared to HIDs (5ish years with the lower wattage ballasts), but HIDs are brighter and seem to have a greater throw distance (noticeable on the freeway, especially). I'll take that over LED. The LEDs work better in high beams because the HIDs need a small amount of time to warm up to full brightness. I'm talking a few seconds from what I'm seeing, but this means that they aren't too good for flashing. Many, but not all HIDs, are direct replacement for the current halogen bulbs. I'm going with 5500k (pure white) because I also hate the dim, yellowish halogen bulbs.

Do some Googling on the Morimoto HID systems. There are also good YouTube video overviews.

 

can you give them a negative number, or try the BBB

 

This is good to know. Perhaps I missed it of have not found it yet, but what is the procedure for the 2016 Tacoma with auto trans?

 

Where did you get your headlight and fog light LED's?

 

I went with OPT7 LED's for my head & fog lights & I'm very happy with them. They are very bright. If you order from their eBay store you get a better price.
