What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice write up!

 

Nice I had the same car and truck combo

 

oh no! they forgot to put holes in the swing arms to make a whistling sound.

 

How do I fix my headliner gap here? I tucked a wire underneath and down the A-pillar and this is the result. Sorry for the picture quality. Any helpful advice is much appreciated.

Didn't really do anything to my Taco today but I parked next to my coworker's 2nd gen and snapped a picture.

 

Avondale toyota is changing my oil every 5000 miles on my work truck. They said it was extreme conditions. And it's free till 24,000 miles and coming up on that soon. At 15,000 on it now and only had it since April.

 

Now you just need some whistle tips!

 

Love my exhaust. Not too loud... For me... But loud enough to hear in the cab, Windows up, with radio playing low. The wife thought it was too loud at first.. Now she likes it.

I tried recording a couple videos. But none of them did it any justice really. The higher sounds record but the deep low sounds seem to be cancelled out on video. The deep low sound is what it's all about for me.

I watched every video and clip i could find of 16 tacoma exhaust before i picked the one i got. But videos really don't do any exhaust justice it seems. If i were you id try and find someone local to listen in person to get a better idea. My truck sounds way better than i expected from videos..


All that being said here is a clip...

 

You have a good dealer there.

My dealer told me they only cover normal operating conditions and wouldn't change my oil at 5k.

I had them do my 10k service early to get the oil and filter changed. I'll get the 20k service at 10k... Then be on my own.

Which is fine by me really... Waiting hours for an oil change sucks.

 

I vote Fuel!

 

Just gave mine a quick wash and wax, covered up the chrome with some plasti-dip and put on my G4 elite fold-a-cover for the bed. Really pleased with how little water it lets in. Hitting with a power washer from 5 feet away on all sides and hardly any came in to the bed. Money well spent IMO.

 

did you have to cut like the insain fab bumper? this thing looks solid and well built but still leery on cutting up a brand new bumper...

 

Hey Elk,
When you installed your AAL did you leave the overload leaf in? I bought the same ICON AAL and noticed the instructions say to leave it out, but it seems like lots of people leave it in for more lift. I'm planning to install next week. Thanks!

 

So I looked at this again last night and it fits well and works with no issues. However I did notice that there is a very slight movement if I grab the switch and pull side to side. I looked at the spec's of the Air On Board switches and there is a .02 inch difference vs the Amazon switch. My next switches I buy will be from them because they have a better selection, but the one I have installed already will not likely be changed out. Hope this helps

 

Viair 87P -- its cheaper here than Amazon last time I checked.

I dunno about plug kits though.

 

Mine has been changed every 5k miles, as well as tires rotated. Sitting at 16xxx miles as of this morning and I purchased it in the middle of January.

 

What flaps are these? They look flexible.

 

Those are the MUD flaps!!!

 

Yes it will fit.

You should keep a bag with the stock lugs for your spare I would assume not knowing what lug nuts you now have on your new wheels.
