What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I just dropped mine off for service this morning. Getting the TSB-0077-16 and the Entune update. Quick question, does it need to say Rev 1 after the TSB-0077-16 or is just that code enough? (I.e. TSB-0077-16 Rev 1)

 

Added a piece of gorilla tape to hold back the change

Mine will be here Friday... can't show them to you yet though... you might copy me.

 

Doubt what I want is the same as you. Mine has to do with my business. But now I want to see yours!

 

I'll post pics when I get them in and put on. @CBoy808 can pretty much do whatever you design.

 

Thanks! Cant wait to see yours.

 

Never did get my TacomaWorld.com sticker

 

You need one of these!

 

Yes @CBoy808 does excellent work... I have mine on my kitchen table waiting warmer weather here in Toronto.

 

Added Reteck LEDs for the headlights and Alla Lighting for the fog lamps. Diggin them so far

 

How much that cost? Pretty cool!

I have a pm into him. Is he reasonable?

 

I understand he has TW Forum prices. This isn't my holder so I don't know exact prices.. I'm waiting until he makes and sells an empty holder with lid. Don't need the coin holders.

 

same here.

These work great to keep your change contained.

 

Well just got the truck back and I can already tell it shifts a lot better. Glad I took it in to get the Rev 1 update. Not sure the update on the Entune system but I'm sure I will see the difference at some point in time.

 

@CBoy808 he has a thread for custom decals on here

 

This is the set I got from him. Stock Look but in subdued black.

 

I have that same decal to replace the OEM ones. How did you install these to avoid bubbles and wrinkles?

 

Whatever tickles your pickle I guess.

 

I got them with a paper top sheet so I could use a Wet Application method. Lots easier than the Dry method which is so vulnerable to the wrinkling and bubbles! Not one single imperfection from the installation process!

@CBoy808 Knows how to make them so they can go one wet. Then it's just a matter of getting them on straight and wait a few hours before you take the top release sheet off. Wouldn't do it any other way!

You can find youtube tutorials but here are written instructions:

Instructions - Wet Method

1. Trim decals as needed. Clean your destination surface. The cleaner the better.
2. Lay the decal flat, backing side up. Using a sharp angle - peel the vinyl-backing away from the transfer-tape (that is holding the vinyl image). Be careful that all elements of the decal stay stuck to the transfer tape, and not the backing.
3. Mist the decal and transfer tape (sticky side) and the destination surface. Clean water slides less but sticks better. You can add a drop or two of dish soap to the water for easier positioning of larger decals. Too much soap can cause problems with adhesion, so just a drop or two.
4. Place the transfer tape holding the decal onto the destination surface as desired. You can slide it around a little. Be careful of small lines and details.
****When centering, NEVER MEASURE using THE TRANSFER TAPE! Always measure from the actual decal image, which you can see through the transfer tape.
5. Once aligned - Starting from the image-center and moving outward, squeegee out all the water and air bubbles. Start with light pressure, and slowly build with each pass over the graphic.
6. Let the image stay on the surface with the transfer tape on for as long as it takes to dry. Direct sunlight on hot, dry days will speed this up. On cold, humid and rainy days can take up to 24 hours or even longer to fully adhere. Rule of thumb, if you are not sure whether or not it’s dry, and you did a really nice job putting it on, then don't be in a rush taking of the transfer tape (and risk messing it all up)... Be patient!
7. Once fully dry, begin peeling the transfer tape off using a sharp angle against itself. This helps to keep your vinyl decal from pulling off the surface if it’s not fully adhered in all places. If the vinyl is not sticking, it's not dry yet, or the surface was not clean. If the image comes off the surface (still sticking to the application tape), simply lay back down, taking care not to create any air bubbles, and squeegee as before, and give it more time to dry and fully adhere.
