What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm trying to figure something out. I just installed these minus the amber lense. I'm a little disappointed on the width of the beam compared to oem. definitely brighter.how do you like yours ? I just did a quick search I could have missed future posts of yours

 

What does the custom sticker stand for?

 

Put in Redlinetubing struts today. The measurements that came with the instructions are for a 2013. I had to look up the instructions for the 2016 on their website. Glad I did! The measurements are quite different. Very straightforward installations. But those rivets! Very tough! And I had a good rivet gun from Stanley. This week the Pop and Lock goes on. The

$172 PL8535 POP & Lock – Power Tailgate Lock for Toyota Tundra, 2007 to 2021 Toyota Tundra, Truck OEM Lock, Anti Theft, Truck Tailgate Lock Replacement, Easy to Install, Made in The USA (PL8547TUN)

PL8535 that fits the 2016 is actually made for the Tundra. The wires to be spliced are different colors in the Tacoma than in the Tundra. There's a YouTube video that tells you which ones really to splice. I'm going with that, unless someone here tells me any different.

Got the truck May 11. Going for the 10k service tomorrow.

I find it curious how people attach different genders to the Tacos. Some male, some female. I'm originally from Puerto Rico so for me it's male. There trucks and cars are male, SUVs and vans are female. Go figure!

 

The light was a custom build because Baja Designs doesn't technically offer this exact configuration with the Hi-Power OnyX6 in amber. My understanding is that this will be available moving forward but previously they only offered the amber in flood and I wanted driving combo for maximum efficiency and output. Both this, my S8 and Squadrons are driving/combo so they all offer the best of both options

 

Finished my inverter install project tonight. Button on the dash powers the block in back behind the seat. Can be taken out when needed. Works great.

 

That looks great!! Looking to do the same. Who makes the block in the back? Where did you buy it?

Thanks

 

Did you need to add weight to bed ?

 

Bought it at lowes.

 

no, sorry it's the motofab 3/2 with diff drop

 

just received my steel ones, hopefully it goes smoothly when I do my install. also got the front recovery bar.

 

5k service is coming up in another week or so.
I understand our oil is supposed to last until 10k and not included in the complimentary toyota service?
I need to check myself how it looks right now, but I was wondering if anyone else had there's changed before 10k.

Also when it comes time to actually change my oil, go with whatever the dealer is putting in? Or what's the norm that people like?

 

Awesome!!! You have the best possible setup IMO.

Did you remove your stock skid plate?

 

Nope, still there for now

 

Did you remove this piece under the bumper (not sure what to call it)?

 

You have a TRD OffRoad package and it got stuck? You should have the electric rear diff. Locker. If so did you try it?

 

where did you get them?

 

Robert, I have been using one for years and love it. I find that the MPG algorithm on the ScanGauge is more accurate than the one used on the Toyota multi screen but neither is as accurate as old fashioned pen & paper! I have mine mounted in the upper left corner of the windshield. I picked up two measuring tapes at Tractor Supply (< $5.00 each) and used the belt clips to mount the gauge to the headliner. It is out of my field of vision for traffic yet convenient. The cable is tucked behind the headliner and driver'sside alpha pillar for a clean installation.

 

Soon as Christmas passes.and I gota research what lift I'll get
