What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I had it made custom by Alfredo @fcimetalworks in El Cajon

 

And the keep your dusty instrument cluster clean kit...

 

I'm just in Bellevue! Let me know if you want to do anything with your truck!

 

Had mine detailed today I just love the look of these trucks!!!

 

Looks so good!

 

installed Thinkware F770 front and rear cameras. Love it so far. Tapped into wiring for auto dimming mirror above headliner.

 

Wait, do you think it'll be possible to make the driver side on clip 3, and passenger side on clip 2?

Or will that ruin the ride quality because they're uneven

 

Want to see pictures of that. I had to edit this because I didn’t see any text on it.

 

I replaced Grill with a unused T-Rex Craigslist deal. It wasn't what I wanted, but close enough, I wanted one without emblem , but this one was made for using factory emblem. We'll see how long it lasts....
It definatley beats original look.

 

Did the Rav4 mirror swap for the built in blind spot mirror.

 

question....I'm sure some of ya'll have installed a K&N filter on your Tacoma.....notice any performance or mileage gains, or no change at all?

 

Had some fun doing some Q & A. Thanks to @Alfuh for the outro image!

Done, and you were correct. Huge improvement, even sounds better at lower volumes.

Couldn't believe how light weight and cheap the factory ones were, they felt like toys.

 

Just wondering if all you people upgrading your speakers had the standard system or the premium JBL? I have the JBL system and to me it sounds very good and don't feel a need to upgrade. And I have lousy hearing from shooting guns for the last 40 years and running masonry saws for 30! LOL

 

The amazing thing is the actual sound produced by the cheap stock speakers. Not much better than a clock radio speaker in quality. I have been rockin my Kickers for nearly 6 months, maybe 3 months with the added tweeters, and I still can't believe the quality sound I now have.

 

I added the full K&N intake with a Gibson exhaust. I wouldn't say a lot of hp gains but there is substantial gains in throttle response. MPG no significant change but I am on the heavy BFG KO2 tires so not expecting a real gain in mpg. When I had p rated 265/70/17 tires with only the CAI my mpgs were fantastic. Calculating 3% tire diameter increase, over stock 265/65/17, I still get respectable mpg. 18 city and as much as 25 mpg on long road trips.

 

right on! thanks for the info!

 

can you list out the speaker info on what you went with? mucho gracias!!
