What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got one of these about two years ago and tested it by completely disconnecting the battery and hooking the cables directly to the harness ring clamps. Started and ran the engine no problem with no battery assistance whatsoever.

 

Wow...what a dbag...you in WV? Where in WV? I live near Winchester, wasn't the Winchester dealer was it?

 

First off...Will you adopt me? I already have truck, just need mods. Already have my own house and family (so will already be out of the house), for a price they can be your extended family as well, three grand kids! Second, what bars/sliders are those, very unique haven't seen those before...

 

Installed the aluminum oil filter cap and 6 qts pennzoil ultra platinum 0-20 with a mobile 1 filter. Had to get a 3/8 extension to reach the filter because of the RCI skid, but having an access hatch on the skid was easier than removing the old OEM skid. 66 days till retirement but who's counting?!

 

Finally caught up on this thread, was back about 200 pages since I had taken a break from here for a bit. I am deployed right now and seeing all the beautiful Tacos just makes me miss mine like crazy. But now that I am down to single digits and a wake up to RTB I am making a list and checking it twice for what I want to spend some of this deployment money on (just a few little toys). I know it's corny but that guys for posting awesome stuff to keep me busy and occupy my down time. My location is pretty bare with little to do, (not BAF, no movie theaters or anything lol, #BAFNotEvenADeploymentAnymore #NeitheristheDeid lol, jk) so obsessing over what to do first when I get home (besides wife and kids time) has helped keep me occupied. So far: OPT7's in low beams and fogs, 30inch LB in grill, derp grill and emblems, level or slight lift, build an AR (truck gun is considered an accessory right?), take it in for TSB and get the famous squeak fixed along with other stuff just to bother dealers lol. Then spend some quality time in my Taco out in the countryside of the Shenandoah Valley of VA, floatin down the river drinkin freedom brews and enjoyin life! Freedom the Fuck On!

 

The steps are from RBP. Almost all websites say they won't work with Gen 3 but that is false. They are a perfect fit and the bolt holes line up perfectly with the factory holes. The quality is fantastic.
About the adoption??? This kid is on track to go to the Naval Academy, so in the long run the truck is pretty cheap compared to the tuition he is going to save me.

 

Has anyone looked into supercharging the new taco engine?

 

I was wondering the same thing. Does Toyota not make the supercharger for the Tacoma anymore?

 

Nope

@Drifter16

Just think of all that tax free money you got to spend though, the one thing I miss about being in and getting deployed haha.

 

This is a 2wd! I have a 2wd and I am curious on what lift you have to use these tires?? I know there isn't much for options on 2wd, but can you please help and let me know what you used or options I can use for mine. Thanks

 

Same options for both 4x4 and 2x4

 

Yes they have, and at this time they say it is not feasible

 

What did this cost if you don't mind me asking?

 

my leaf was sagging about 2 inches and was squeeking loudly. but heres the pisser... toyota just called me and said they installed the wrong ones and now i need to go back in and do it again. (the wrong ones were for a 11 or older taco, and the 16s are meant to handle more weighT)

 

Part was $160 ish... matched online price from other dealer. And was $150 to install.... so right over $300 altogether.

 

It's under warranty.

 

I was referring to the security system.

 

Do you have a pic with what it looks like on your truck?

 

Do you happen to have the Toyota part # by chance?
