What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

There's a lot of discussion about those going on at this thread:

Those can be found on Amazon for around $100 and eBay for around $70. They seem to be pretty good, and they aren't super expensive. I've trying to decide what to get.

 

Time to upgrade the rear bumper. Who else wants to swap theirs out?

Lots of stuff this weekend. Helped my brother-in-law move:



On the way to drop the trailer off that night, hit 5k miles. Also noticed MPG was not so good while towing that u-haul:



And finally, got the driver's side hood bracket from Relentless Fab and moved my ham radio antenna over. Much better on this side, not hitting tree branches and stuff with it anymore:

 

Just bought some fluid film for the winter.

 

These are the ones I bought and are pictured. No need to spend big money, these are awesome and probably made in the same shop in China as the higher cost ones.

Can that light be reset manually or does the dealer have to do it?

 

Can I get a link to the mounts please?

 

I'm not sure. I plan on taking it in anyway because I need to get the tranny TSB still.

How's that grill. As stated, this is the first of its kind. Look me up on IG way more pix. @sexytacoma

 

At the end of November my QuickSand Tan off road 4x4 is scheduled to arrive at the dealership.. So I ordered some new personal plates for the truck so that they will be here when it arrives at the dealer

 

1sttruckguy78 - I hate to break the news to you but your seats are not actually 100% leather, only the
seating areas. To quote their own web site, "Our leather content will always meet or exceed the leather
content of the original vehicle manufacturer's factory design. We ensure the only the highest quality
leather, suede and vinyl materials are used to maximize comfort, design and durability." They are just
like the Clazzio seat covers except that you (or a future owner) cannot remove them and still have the
original seat covers, should you (or they) decide to. And, you are out considerably more money than
Clazzio owners. Actually now that I think about it, I don't see a lot of difference in the two other than
the versatility of the Clazzios and the added thickness of my wallet.

 

1sttruckguy78 - Before you invest in a homelink mirror, take a look at GarageMate https://bluemate.com/ which lets
you open and close your garage door with your I-phone or Android. And, it only costs about $50.00. I have been
using mine since December and love it. If I am outside with just my phone, I can still open the garage and the
rotary security makes it as safe to use as that remote you were complaining about.

 

NICE!! Good score on the personal plate + going with the California Legacy License Plate will look clean on the Quicksand Tan. Any planned accessories/mods?

 

Thanks man!! And well I'm trading in my black 16 Tacoma to get my QS Tacoma. But I'll do the a standard 3in lift I'll probably put the TEs wheels that are on my black truck on the new one. I have a TRD Pro grille at home so I'll probably put that on as well. So we'll see how it goes

 

To be perfectly honest. No. The install was complicated, partly due to the instructions not being in depth enough in a few places. If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase something easier to install, even if it meant sacrificing a little strength. They are extremely strong sliders though, and very well made!

 

Looks real good! How does the parts you fibre wrapped on the steering wheel come off?
Bottom corner on the left side squeaks when I put pressure on it. Drives me crazy.

 

What length of shocks did you go with on the rear? when I put my lift on 3" front/2" rear and measured the shocks at full drop out, the stock rear shocks were 2.5" short, althought they work, it restricts the rear travel. Rear shocks only: what are some options to maximize travel?

 

Yes, you can reset it. I looked it up in the owners manual. Don't remember the exact steps, but it has to do with the trip reset button on the dash.
