3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

Got mine in May and I LOVE IT!!! Only mods so far are tinted windows and mounted the front tag holder on lol if you want to call that a mod but hopefully some new tires in the near future

 

Now I just have to decide on whether to ditch the chromed fog light bezels or not. Hmmm...

 

How does the after ride compared to the before stock wheels?

 

They pop right off. This is a screenshot from another thread that shows the part numbers. Unfortunately I didn't use this part number & ordered the wrong ones so I'll reorder them eventually.

The stock rubber was a little smoother ride, maybe slightly better on mpg but I haven't noticed any drastic changes.

 

I picked them up from @rrentrop Ebay site. Very good quality and fast shipping!

 

Do you notice the difference from the stock dyed rear windows and the aftermarket front windows? I might be too sensitive to the difference but every car I have the front windows tinted on end up being a different color on the inside even though they match on the outside.

I understand the differences in films and OEM dyed glass. I am just wondering if everyone has this issue and what solutions are out there? Right now the only thing I can think of is to tint the rears with aftermarket tint on top of the oem dyed glass, then try to match the color and darkness to the rear with maybe a 10 or 15% front?

 

That's the best aftermarket grille I've seen so far. Where did you get it at?

 

I have 15% on all the doors and 35% down the windshield and I love it. Yes the back windows are a little darker but not enough to really notice unless your looking for it you know what I'm saying? Over all I love the 15% and 35%

 

Might need to join you with the 15% all around. Thanks

 

Here's the thread for it. Email Dan at RAD Industries and he'll set you up. The grille is not listed on their website. Dan is an excellent guy to work with.

If anyone needs fog light panels for the 12-15 Tacoma I have a brand new set

 

See the difference?

 

Any one selling their limited fog bezels? PM me

My only upgrades so far: interior lighting all LEDs and seatbelt covers. Thinking about getting mudflaps, I kind of like the look

 

How do you like the LED interiors? And where did you get em?

 

I searched the forum after buying the truck: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/led-interior-lights.396266/
I knew from day one I was gonna buy LEDs. The link to the thread above has good pics and the links to the parts.
I forgot to order the exterior bed light and reverse lights

 

I've seen a few folks post before and after shots in similar threads and been thinking that it might be one of the first modifications I make (just got the truck). Curious to hear if they are too bright through.

I've not actually drove and tinkered with my truck at night yet but perhaps this weekend I'll play around with the lights both in and out and see what I think needs tweaking.

Thanks for the reply!

 

I actually don't use the interior lights much even at night. They are much brighter than stock, but they're not blinding. They definitely make the interior look more crisp and modern with the cool white instead of incandescent orange
