What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's a sharp looking truck. Just disappointed with the issues and the drivetrain/transmission.

 

Damnit, we're down to 75% of the four people surveyed.

 

Glass break sensor was part of the factory VIP RS3200 security system I had Installed.
Part #

$220 PT398-35160 Vehicle Intrusion Protection Security System

PT398-35160 was $150ish
And was $150 for dealer to install.

 

Softtopper! Don't mind the fender. I've got something else coming in to replace it.

 

Where did you get the soft topper?

 

I lived in AZ for a month. Which is 1/12 of a year.
I live in AK which is 1/2 of AZ.

So that's 7/12 of an AZ resident and I like my third gen.

Should bring your percentage up just a little.

 

Softtopper.com

Nothing fancy. But I think it's the best soft top available.

 

78%

 

Did you get the wire harness pig tail with your truck when you bought it ? Or did you have to buy it separate?

 

Keep us posted on that. Too afraid to pry mine off

 

eek.. to each there own.. im not a fan of body side molding period. and the chrome is like 2 strikes.. just my opinion

 

Hondo mounts/radio knobs with SPOD SE touch screen.

It took a while to get the mounts in but I like them. The radio knobs are good too but I wish they were gloss black like the oem ones just bigger for your fingers to grip.

The mounts are well made and work well but I dont know about not being able to use the vent. So far so good though.

 

Added a leaf to my rear springs after getting back from Big Bend the other day. I cut down a set of new D6XL OME add-a-leaves I had to 30" long. Came out just right. Lifted the rear 1.5". Basically got my factory rake back from my saggy rear springs. Before
During after



Started sticker bombing my roof rack this evening.

 

My wife likes our third gen also. So that should cancel out @smitty99 vote.
By the way, Smitty, did those problems you had get fixed?

 

I think you installed the mounts wrong. I think the vent is supposed to point down so you can open the vents part way.

 

I always run my vents up cause cold air sinks and I dont like it blowing right on me. Plus I still have the passenger vent that I can point my way if I want. I would like if you have a little more adjustment though

 

Got my silver Taco back in October and have been enjoying it ever since! 2.5 inch levelling kit with 275/70/18 KO2's on Fuel Vectors. Have spent months reading through this entire thread and I'm finally caught up. Will post pics soon but am looking for some advice on the following:

1. Touch up paint (small chip in my silver hood). Buy at dealer or are other sources just as good? Anyone got a vendor/source to recommend?

2. Headlight upgrade. Looking for more brightness. I see different options but a) I need fairly simple as I'm not a mechanic, and b) I'm not interested in the chance of frying electronics. Probably just plug and play for me. Any recommended options for a guy like me? Recommend a source/vendor?

Thanks!

 

I paid $250 but gave $300 to a local shop here in SoCal to paint my RkSport hood. Left the scoop bare aluminum so I derped it black

 

Just noticed this thread so thought I'd post what I did today. Ordered some silicone rings from Amazon for the radio knobs.

 

Do you remember the shop? I'm in San Diego
