What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The LED's look nice but you lose projection, I would go HID

 

yep^^^ I've got OPT-7 HIDs and I'm impressed

 

HID set up is actually less expensive as well. I tested fitted a set for DDM because they were curious about the "HID Shake" issue and their kits. Can't complain, its easy and a great fit! Needless to say I don't have any of the shaking issues that other's have reported.

 

Borrowing this badass sleeping platform for the weekend from a buddy with a 2nd gen. Fits perfect and with the hinges it folds up into the bed nicely. used 2 2x4s in each bed slot instead of a single 2x6 for more support.

 

Did nothing to mine, but I did represent out on the O-Course today!

 

Got truck back from 5k service. Have not checked fill plug yet. They were aware of low atf and receipt shows added exactly 1 quart. Have not really test drove it far enough. Fixed nasty squealing in suspension: http://s38.photobucket.com/user/mrproduxn/media/062716 tacoma squeak_zpspspxtis2.mp4.html
It was a bone dry sway bar bushing. So far so good on the noise. Very happy.
UPDATE. Transmission has no hesitation after added 1 qt. No wait between R and D like before. 20 miles and squeak is still silent.

 

Hey Ducman, did you ever get a response on this? I am curious as well

 

Looks great! Can you post a few close up pictures? Is the LED bar in front or behind the grille?

 

See, that's what I meant... that switch that you used is a different shape than all of the other switches. I have a manual, so that switch blank you had is filled by a clutch start cancel button for me.

Anyway, I got the switch issue worked out. Now I want to know how you wired to your switch from the battery. Did you have to drill into the firewall? If so, where?

 

For anyone running a light bar... is there a pre drilled hole that you used to runs wires through the firewall to your switch or did you have to drill your own? I couldn't find a writeup on this but I'm trying to wire up my bar tomorrow

 

Installed some led reverse bulbs today. I know they work and they look like they are very bright but it's not dark out so I'm not sure how bright. I will take a pic tonight and post it up.

I got an alignment today. The castor and toe were off from the factory.

 

with stock tires and suspension ?

 

Stock suspension with 4R TRD Pro wheels and 265/70/17 tires.

With stock wheels and tires the alignment seemed good enough. With the new offset wheels + new tires, the trucked pulled ever so slightly to the right. I originally thought it was tire pressure, and it did help some, but it still pulled. I did the front and rear cross rotate of tires to rule out tire radial pull. I was going to have the tires switched out to see if it helped, but found an alignment specialist shop.

The castor was off causing the pull. I guess I didn't notice it on the stock tires because the track is narrower due to less offset and less aggressive HT tires. Shop said they see a lot of new cars with out of alignment issues.

Now the truck is driving good.
