What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah I also want some info on that. LEDs are basically impossible to "burn out". My suspicion is that the circuit board that is cooled by the fans overheated because either the fan jammed or broke somehow.

The other option is that it never happened.

 

Merry X-Mas to my Taco.
1. Pro Grille
2.N-Fab steps
3.HID's
4.Red factory TRD decals came with the gray, wanted to accent the tires and wheels,think it turned out great)

 

I want to hate those red seats but I can't. They look great!

 

I love that bumper, looks great on your truck. That's my next mod I'm saving up for. Bumper, winch and relocate my light bar.

 

Is this finally available?

 

I've been busy the last few weeks with some mods.

Two Sundays ago I installed a dash cam. I went with the Z Edge 3, did a lot of research and it had all the features I needed, did not want a rear facing camera right now. I have it wired to the lighter right now, ran the wire hidden behind the head liner, down the passenger A pillar, under the glove box. Only see a small amount of wire at the plug in. I may hard wire one day but happy with the way it is right now. Got it on sale for $89.00 including shipping.



Last Saturday I installed a Scan Gauge II. I really like it a lot, has all the gauges I want except oil pressure. And, it actually will read transmission temperature. If you look at the picture the upper left gauge is trans temp; I just started the truck so temperature is low. At operating temperature it runs about 185º. I picked it up on Amazon for $109.98. Had the Ultragauge Blue before and could never get it to read transmission temperature.



Finally today I installed the OEM Toyota roof rack. I have been wanting one for awhile and finally got one on sale for $260 including shipping. Really like the looks of it and I have plenty of use for it. It installed in a little over an hour and a half but took my time. Only thing I didn't like about the install is there are 4 small bolts up front that are a PITA to install. The holes are hard to line up and they have Torx size 20 heads that want to strip out, so you have to be really careful. The only thing that I don't like about the rack, and its petty, is the front lacks about a 1\16" from touching the windshield trim. The OCD in me won't let that pass so I'll have to come up with something to fix it. Sorry for the crappy pictures, been raing here today so had to install in the garage.







Now have to save up for new front bumper and winch. I am going to go with the SSO slimline bumper, really like it a lot and it has the ability to add a winch which I want and they can do a custom cut out so I can reuse my existing LED light bar.

It's been a good year for the 'yota (not so much for my bank account), thanks to all for some great ideas!

Merry Christmas to all those on Tacoma World, I hope you all get some nice stuff for your trucks!

 

are those expensive and are you able to install yourself

 

Added some Avid gear. More pics on my build thread

 

Quick question. I put on Christmas lights to my ladder racks using the bed outlet. And had them on while driving around. We'll it was working fine. I just got Gass, turned the truck on,hit the switch and they went on. After putting truck in gear they went off ...? I stopped and tryed agian ,they go on than shit off after shifting from either neutral or park....any on3 k ow why this would happen.. thankyou. And merry Christmas

 

Love the grill!! How much of u don't mind me asking

 

Yep....Just call Southern Style Offroad (talk to Gwen), or go to their website at http://www.southernstyleoffroad.com/product/2016-tacoma-slimline-hybrid-bumper/?v=7516fd43adaa and they'll hook you up.

It's a great product - you can tell they're [rightfully] proud of it.

 

What kind of sliders? Can you post a couple of photos the the sliders. Thanks!

 

The grill mesh is from customcargrills.com and is $80 for the flat black finish. It's just the mesh and all I had to do was glue it in.

 

I ordered them on Black Friday with a 8 week lead time. Hope to have them by the end of January

 

Ahh. Great job man. Looks great . Realy wanna get that too.

 

How many watts are you drawing with the lights? In my 17 DCOR its 400w when in park or neutral. And something like 150-200W when driving.

I ran 2 strands around my bed, no issues with it yet.

 

Nice truck, in fact the best I have seen in a while. 16" Wheels? What camera were you using, very nice shots.

 

I prefer this:

 

Installed my prinsu design roof rack today. Easy install adds a whole new look
