What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Do you happen to know the best possible fluid to use for the rear diff. I have a stock one that's starting to make noise and from everything I've read the dealer doesn't do anything for it and if they do it just comes back. So I figured I'd just change it to a high quality fluid.

 

Ah someone similar to me! Lol got my truck in march of this year already have 22k miles on it. Sill love driving it and the engine seems to run better and better the more miles I put on.

 

Don't ask me how I know this since changing the differential fluid to anything other than spec would void the warranty, but even going with a high qualify 85w-140 differential fluid won't stop the rear end from whining.

 

Gotcha thanks.

 

3M Scratch Removal kit does a pretty good job of getting those pinstripes out.

 

Derp or no derp?

 

Bilstein 5100 extended length shocks ordered from headstrong. Not sure of the PN but I will post it when I get home.

 

No derp and get rid of the chrome Toyota emblem. I have the same wheels but the darker version. I plan to get black lug nuts and paint over the chrome

 

So you're saying just derp the chrome toyota emblem.

 

Installed my DOT rigid fog lights. Super bright street legal and they don't blind on coming traffic. Now I just need to find brighter low beam bulbs. I tried some led ones but they don't seem to be very bright. Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

No derp sell them while they are worth something and put on these and live happily ever after

 

Not a fan of those personally. I just had a can of derp and wanted to try it out, didn't care for it either.

 

I'd love some of these, but the enclosure is just so hideous to me. That's the only reason I'm holding out for the OEM TRD Pro fogs.

 

I was too then I actually saw their light output and like everything else with the new tacomas and lighting it was a major let down. Its like Toyota build the truck to never leave a city yuppies driveway. Really ticks me off actually. My 2015 had the best lights ever! Then they go and ruin it and I'm stuck putting money into a new truck just to be able to actually see more than 50feet at night.

 

Good to hear. Someone decided that I can't have nice things and keyed my truck on the passenger side.

 

The benefit of those push button proximity sensors is that in the future, there are less keys to go around keying perfectly nice vehicles

 

A screwdriver works better. Or a Leatherman tool. Or a nail...

 

Can't stand an asshole. Hopefully karma gives them theirs.

 

Agreed. My other choice was the Baja designs fog lights. They're more expensive, but they retain the factory plastics.

I'm not impressed by the opt7 led bulbs I have

 

Anyone know if there is a kit for the power sliding rear glass yet?
