What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thank you!

 

A while back i removed all the chrome badges from my Tacoma .. today i applied the matte black TACOMA vinyl decals made by @rrentrop on both doors and i really like the looks on the silver .. they compliment the matte black tailgate letters nicely. I opted to just use the letters and cut the mountains off before applying the letters

 

Installed the front rail so I could utilize an optional Rottweiler securement mod.

 

Looks great. I wanna do something like this but I keep hearing bad things about switching out mufflers. I don't want a domino effect of things going bad etc. What's your thoughts?

 

Just some rattle can I had in my garage, nothing special. Took the hook off and did 5 coats.

Installed the Gator FX3 yesterday. Really happy with it so far.

 

What did I do to my Tacoma today(err..yesterday)? I took it to the dealer for some "light touch-up" to fix a little damage caused by a careless transporter; damage and promise to repair discussed and documented in paperwork. A couple hours afterd dropping it off, I learn some hack at the dealer buffed through the clear coat, causing more damage, now requiring a "repaint" of the left side of the bed. Waited 2 months for the truck, so it was tough not to take delivery of it last week and I could have repaired the damage to my liking. Now I have a new truck with 400 miles and a repainted bed panel I'm afraid will match up fine now, but what about 2+ years down the road?... WWTWMD? (What Would TacomaWorld Members Do?)

 

Wait until they give it back to you, go out and wheel it, add some scratches and enjoy the hell out of your new tacoma!

 

I've had it on now for about 2 months and about 3,000 miles and have had no issues! Since it is just a different muffler and not messing with a new cat or o2 sensors it shouldn't cause any issues! Just more sound

 

That looks awesome ! How long did it take to install ? Can you still use accessory rails in the bed ?

 

I feel you on the waiting pains... You will be tickled with the Clazzios once they're installed, I'm just getting the feeling back in my fingers from the install Thursday night.

 

It took me about 2 hours but I like to go slow with that stuff. Could have been done in an hour or less. Yes! You can totally use the accessory rails. You have to remove them to install the brackets for cover rails which lowers the accessory rails about 2 inches.

 

Personally i completely looked over my truck inside/out once it was delivered before i signed any paperwork. If it were me i'd of said "NO" i am not putting out that kind of $ for a vehicle damaged in transport .. sorry for your misfortunes

 

If you have a shirt bed it won't fit

 

Sorry once I went back and looked at your pictures I answered my own questions and tired to delete it. Do you think a 48" would be tall enough to lift your truck up at the sliders?

 

Okay cool. Did you buy your muffler online or from a shop?

 

This is a hot topic for me. I'm looking at the 48in, but I'm wondering if the 60in would fit In a short bed. Amazon says the 60 in is actually a little shorter than that. So it may fit.

TW, who has a 2-3 in lift and what size high lift are you using and how's that going?

 

I bought it from O'Reilly's, it is a 2.5" single in single out. My buddy works there so I got a little bit of a discount.. But normally their only about 90 bucks anyway. My exhaust guy does work super cheap. The tip was actually one he just had sitting around in his shop so he didn't charge me for that, just $10 to weld it on for me!

 

I e had my Tacoma for about 3 months now and have noticed the the left side is lower than the right. It's a full 1 1/2 inches lower at 35 1/4 compared to 36 3/4 on the right. Stock height, stock tires and wheels. Has anyone else had this problem? I measures from the ground through the centre of the wheels to the bottom of the fender.
