What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah I am willing to drive for a quality service department. I have had no such luck.

 

Thanks my buddy, manager of body shop said it was a pain in the you know what to get that chrome prep'd for painting. He told me it took him 3 hrs on the grille. He does excellent work!

 

You fancy! ......

 

I stopped going to Right Toyota, there service department blows. I always had to check there work because they would never complete any tasks. Big Two in Chandler or Avondale Toyota are the two I go to now.

 

Got my RTT mounted finally.

 

What's your hub to fender measurement up front and for the rear?

 

Mine's making the same chirping noise, drives me crazy but the dealer said they got word from Toyota that replacing the high pressure fuel pump only fixes it for a few thousand miles. Then when I brought up the issue again at the next tire rotation they told me they didn't hear anything abnormal. Not sure I'll ever be able to get it fixed...

 

Agree, service is great but their sales group sucks. Gave me the paperwork / serial number on a truck I was supposed to get and that one never came in. They charged me an extra $900 because they said they had to have it retrucked here, but when they eventually got one from across town never gave that $$ back. Also had to get them to put all the accessories on this truck that was on the original deal paperwork. Will not be fooled again.

 

My SR didn't come with the sun visor lighted vanity mirror so my wife requested a clip on mirror for the passenger side.
For no other reason than simply because I can, I swapped in a sun-visor with a lighted mirror from another model 3rd gen Tacoma.
I picked up the visor on eBay for about $80

I didn't take any install pictures but it is quite straight forward to do. The electrical harness/connection for the mirror was not present on mine so I ran a new set of wire from the sun visor, along the windshield just inside the head liner and down the driver side pillar to the fuse box under the dash.
The wife is happy, LOL.

New visor installed with old one laying on the dash.

 

Pop N Lock installed today, went relatively easily.

 

What was your hub to fender measurements for the front and rear after the lift?

 

I will measure it in the morning for you. I'm at work driving down the highway. I know, it's basically raised me 2 1/2 to 3 inches. The stance looks awesome now.

 

Does anyone happen to recall the thread where there is a fix for the beds being off/crooked? I know it seems like a stupid question but I do recall seeing someone fixing a misaligned bed. Any help would be appreciated!

 

Installed the winch bumper and smitybuilt x2o

 

Sorry, I don't know if those brackets would fit

 

I think you need to loosen all of the large bolts on the floor of your bed which hold it in place. Then align the bed and re tighten the bolts.

 

I appreciate the quick response. Dang, I've never had a bed out of alignment so this is a first.

 

Since you're still under warranty I would have the dealership do this. It should be handled no problem by the dealership.

 

Hey, my bed was crooked. I took it to the toyota body shop, which was actually a local shop and they fixed it for me in like, 10 minutes with no charge. It's an easy fix for sure!
