What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yes, exactly what Honey said. Here is a screenshot from the TSB showing the locations, 3 plugs in each. It completely took away the howling noise, which prior to the TSB being done was worse when I took the air dam off. So def do it!

 

I have a 7 and it charges extremely slow! I don't use it because it just makes me mad when I look and it hasn't moved. Some people just get lucky with it I guess.

 

Had that happen to mine at work, dick didn't even come see me. I backed my truck right up to his in the angle it would have happened and fit perfect with paint residue still on his. Walked him out and asked if he wanted to handle it or should I go to HR. Ended up fessing up and giving me cash to replace it.

Contact Roman at cool springs, link below. You can call and talk to him. I'm in California and his place is in Tennessee. Was able to color match paint the new part for around $230 total and shipped it out to me. Took about three weeks. Local dealer of Orange here quoted me $150 for the part and around $600 to color match at their shop. BS. Roman hooked me up and I order all my OEM parts from them now, always best price around. Oh, and I have the GMT color, talk about a great match being made states away on a already difficult color that has plenty of shade variations. Black should be a walk in the park for them.

Thanks for the info! I will definitely check them out.

 

question on the bumper caps, are the chrome ones plastic or metal? thinking of adding back up sonars to my 3rd gen.

 

No they are good ole high dollar chrome plastic.

 

Plastic like the rest of the truck. I don't think the chrome comes pre drilled for sonars, may have to do it yourself.

 

Check with the coffee shop. If they have a camera a parking lot. You may be able to see who hit you up in the license plate.

 

thats actually good. easier to mount the sensors.

 

It was nice to have a positive experience at a dealership. It was clean, the people were friendly, a subway to get something to eat while you wait. I drove out here from the east coast five months ago and went to Irvine Toyota for my service and had to get a smog check to register the truck here. The service advisor told me the smog check was $196, I guess he thought I wouldn't know that you could get it for $39 down the road. When I pointed out the ridiculous price he told me they used "a special machine". I said the "special machine" every other smog check place that charges $39 has that is certified by the state. He then told me his mechanics could use "tricks" to get the truck to pass. I left.
If you see a tricked up blazing blue sport around give me a wave

 

Vent visors. 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grappler Gs's, eBay knockoff 17x8 +5 offset TRD wheels (excellent quality)!!! Tinted windows, Blue line flag decals.

 

What Sensors are you going to be using. Is it an aftermarket setup or OEM retrofit?

 

It's not perfect, but I got the 60" hi-lift mounted in the bed of my DCSB using RCI Metalworks mounts. Mounts are sturdy, only complaint I'd have is that the large wing nuts didn't come powdercoated. Definitely a tight fit, this is the only angle I could mount the hi-lift for it to fit properly.

 

Does anyone know the difference of a bull bar and a winch-tray?? Does the winch tray give me any frontal protection????

 

Not really. Neither will really, usually the bull bars are bolt on and therefore not really solid. The winch tray mount fits behind the stock bumper with just the fairlead poking out.

 

Aftermarket when I get to that point. TW forums are dangerous $$$

 

Well I just got back from putting a deposit down on my first Tacoma! Should be here by the end of Feb. Super White '17 TRD OR DCSB 4x4 with Premium, tech + JBL, tonneau cover, bed step and tow package. So freaking excited.

They also had a TRD Pro 4Runner outside in Cement. It looked nice as hell. A little out of my price range though...

 

I hear you on that count! I was just wondering if you had settled on a system already and what that was, etc. I'm interested in doing the same.

 

OK Weathertech Window Deflectors in.


Alarm and Remote Start in Thanks to the guys at http://www.extremeaudioandperformance.com/ They set the brain and the Drone module up in the stack so it looks nice and neat. Everything installed by them is also wire loomed. Worth it in my book.

 

Made a Super White friend at work.
