What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lexus Key Mod which I kind of regret. Don't notice how often you lock something until you can't.

 

Thanks! I'm just waiting for it to get a little warmer out! Don't have a garage to pull into

 

There's a Tacoma world code. Search the clazzio thread

 

using the code tacomaworld saves you $75

 

Thanks! Placing my order now. Here goes to waiting 12 weeks.

 

I put on my caliraised pods with a 'oem' style toyota switch. It wired up pretty easy and I think looks clean as hell. I also threw the KBVooDoo cargo rack on my truck.

 

Method NV 16x8 265/75/16 KO2

 

Thanks, this is good to know.....I really want a riser. I tried adjusting the double pivots as high as possible, and still feel like it needs to go higher. Any other pointers for installing it?

 

Finally got on my OEM 17-in 4Runner TRD Pro matte black wheels, BFG LT265/70R17 All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires, and OEM chrome lug nuts and OEM wheel locks installed (sorta)

Next weekend, I'll be removing the factory tint on the front windows and redoing it darker. I'm torn between 15% all around or 15% on the front and 30% on the back over the smoked glass. Still waiting for my TRD Pro grill to arrive as well... It's backordered until end of Feb. The first one I received from the dealer had 2 broken tabs on one side. I got it for 1/2 cost as part of the deal for the truck so around $200 after tax.

Now for the fiasco with mounting and balancing these damn wheels. I bought the wheels from the dealership directly since they price matched an online price from another dealership. The tires were purchased online from 4WP. Wheels never left the dealership and went from Parts to Service. I did it at the dealership hoping for better quality (boy, was I wrong). They tried to charge me the cost for two sets of mount and balance fees (argument was that they have to unmount stock tires to get TPMS - my argument was they'd still remove them even if it was just new tires without new wheels). I finally won that one. Next, they installed the new tires on stock wheels the first time (with new wheels already paid for nowhere to be seen) so they had to redo it. The next day I went to pick it up again. They had the new wheels and tires on the truck finally but all four wheels had scratches on each rim (faint but definitely there) from poor installation. Once I inspected my stock wheels that they removed, they had even more damage from poor work. Long story short after 4 days without my truck, truck is currently on old scratched Pro wheels, dealership refunded me the full service cost, they are buying me new Pro wheels AND new stock wheels since they were less a month old (several days or more till they show up), I'll take the truck elsewhere to have the new Pro wheels installed, and then I'll return the old Pro wheels to them...

Check Tire Rack's website for recommended installers in your area. Most of the installers they recommend use the new Hunter touch less tire mounter. For my Audi, I found a great indy shop near me that specialized in German cars, and had all new Hunter equipment (touch less mounter, Road Force balancer and laser alignment rack). When it is time for new tires and/or tires and wheels for my Taco, I will go back there. Touches mounting will not scratch the wheels!

 

Like that setup and thinking about have dealer install also. Hate to ask, since you've probably already answered, but what size tires are you running?

 

It definitely was. And thanks, he's a pain the butt but we love him!

I'd highly recommend it! It looks 1000 times better. I did have howling in the lower control arms though at approx. 20-50 mph after I removed it. It wasn't too bad but definitely annoying. There is a service bulletin for it though (T-SB-0053-16) where they add 3 x plugs for each side and it's covered under warranty.

Thanks! I appreciate it. It definitely looks like it was from when they were mounting the wheels. All eight wheels had the same scratch in a perfect circle 1/2" or so from the lip. The stock wheels had extra gouges and chips around the lips as well. After this crazy mess, I'm nervous about taking the new set somewhere!

 

And there goes any more spending for a while, just ordered a front bumper, rear bumper, and winch. Still can't believe I finally did it lol.

 

Just take your time and don't force anything. As long as you have loosened the set screw everything should slide off/on and line up with a little finess. If your going to use a ram mount loosen the arm when positioning it so your not putting excessive force on the glass.

 

What are you getting? Ordered mine last week and already getting embroidery done. Should have in a week or 2.

 

I went with leather. Black body, dark grey inserts, red stitching, and the TRD emblem half the TW members worked on

 

What did you end up going with?
