What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oil change and tire rotation. 15k miles (I do it every 5k - truck hasn't been back to the dealer since purchase).

Cleaned the insides of the rims with soap and water to keep them looking new. Painted the sheet metal shield that covers the oil filter as it was already starting to rust. My 2004 and 2010 honda's have less rust on the undersides as my 2016 taco. Go figure.

 

Well, I wrecked my Tacoma. 2016 TRD Sport 4X4...you can see it in my profile picture. Black ice.... I sled sideways into a tree. Tboned me between the driver's side and back door. pushed in my reaptor running board, dented both doors pretty damn good. Deployed the side curtain airbags on both doors. I did not break the glass.

I am sick just thinking about it. My wife and kids were in the truck. Nobody was hurt, thank God! I have insurance but I wander what the cost is going to be to get it fixed....any guesses from anyone knowledgable?

 

also, since the airbags deployed the insurance company deemed it undrivable so I have to have it towed.

 

Sounds like bent frame, that'll most likely be totaled. Best thing that can happen really, you wouldn't want anyone fixing it as it'll never be perfect in your eyes again.

 

Ordered 12/30, shipped 01/04 arrived 01/07.

 

Ordered these from @jhuey8947 on a Black Friday deal....finally got around to installing it after the busy holidays. Slowly but surely coming together nicely. Back seats done, now on to the fronts. Head rests will be last! Two tone with perforated inserts and piping trim. Black/charcoal combo. Premium package.

 

If it is totaled I am screwed. I still $26,795 on it. what ever they give me will be used to pay off that loan and I will have no money to get another vehicle. I hope to God that the frame is not bent and the truck is fixable by insurance. At least that way I can still have a vehicle even if my insurance goes up. Man, that is not the news I was hoping for.

Something like that?

 

Why not do it up RIGHT and go all out? Affordable and very do-able.

The tiniest of tiny dents in my truck door was removed today. Had I made the dent myself off-roading or something, I could live with it. The fact that I came out of Wal-Mart and saw this thing glistening in the sun just drove my nuts every time I looked at it. Had to have it fixed.

look good , thinking about doing the dame thing.

 

Yikes ordered mine on 12/29 and got an email today that they will be shipping it on Wednesday. Could be because I ordered the Entune knobs too. +1 for their customer service they have been in contact and wasn't ignoring me haha

 

That sounds like it is probably whats going on. I just had the vent mount and the ram ball attachment.

 

Yes first week of ownership for me. The guy at paintless dent repair thought I was nuts for paying the shop minimum for dime sized dent. I'd live with it now for a bit but not week 1!!!

 

Got the 1.5 spacers on

 

I had the TSB Completed today for the transmission. Driving home, it did not slip down a gear going over the same bridge that always made it do so. Not a lot of wheel time with it but I am hopeful that this fixed "that problem". I got zero pushback thanks to you guys as well. Simply provided a hard copy of the TSB and told them to,"Make it so." Thanks.

 

how are these bulbs. Do they match the DRL "whiteness"?

 

I am in the same boat as you. Looking to achieve that "White" LED look with a halogen bulb. Have you purchased any aftermarket halogen bulbs?

 

Yes, very white. These are made by Sylvania specifically to give the bright white LED/Xenon look.
