What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

This light kit has been installed on my 2016 Tacoma Sport Access Cab and works great!

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.

 

I have used silverstar ultra bulbs before. Bright, clean, white, but only last a year. Hope these are better.

 

Gonna pick up a set of these this weekend. Not the cheapest in the world, but by far the best I have come across.

I'm wondering why we can't just update the non-bed light Access Cab to be a Bed Light Access Cab.

The wire harness for the bed light switch is under the cubby area where the switch would be mounted.
I would assume the wiring for the bed light would be in the third brake light area as well.

I'd expect there'd be a relay or something required for the switch to connect to for bed light power, a new switch and switch plate to hold the switch itself, and of course a bed light third brake light assembly.

Anybody with the skill and time and access Cab able to try this out and report back?
