3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

My ‘17 MGM TRDOR. Changed the grill and added a Caliraised light bar. Plan on new wheels and lifting within the next year just gotta save the $.

 

i am debadging this weekend and wanted to replace my tacoma emblems on the front doors with vinyl decals. this is brilliant. i was kinda freaking out on how to get them in the right spot. thanks for the tip

 

That Cali raised Light bar. 32"? Is it curved or straight? Any modifications to mount inside? Special brackets? I want to do the same thing but I'm trying to figure the best way to mount in there.

Brakets for LED Bar, specific to 16+ Taco: https://caliraisedled.com/collectio...ota-tacoma-32-light-bar-lower-bumper-brackets
Might want this switch in Cab: https://caliraisedled.com/collections/2016-toyota-tacoma/products/toyota-oem-bumper-light-bar-switch
And I think this is a nice place to put the switch: https://caliraisedled.com/collectio...products/2016-2017-toyota-tacoma-switch-panel

Cheers.

 

Caliraised has everything you need. Brackets, wiring and switches. It’s a straight bar. Only modification required is cutting the bottom of the plastic air dams on the sides of the radiator. Installing the actual light bar is super easy and only required removing 4 or so bolts. Getting the wire through the firewall was a bitch though, that grommet is tight tight.

 

Vaseline might help? (no jokes, being serious) Coat hanger fashioned hook to grab and fish it thru?

 

You know in retrospect, I should’ve used some KY. Lol.

Yeah I did the coat hanger thing, but it was still a bitch because the hanger wasn’t following the provided hole in the gromment and was making its own path; so I had to keep going back and fourth from inside the truck to the outside until I got it right. If I had to do it over again I would’ve used the metal wall fish tape I had sitting in my tool box.

 

Got it - thanks for this info. Going to be doing the same project soon.

 

Picture request: MGM w/ TRD Pro 4Runner wheels, no lift.

Thanks!

 

Might want to specify which TRD wheels. Off road, sport, Pro, sema? Just a thought. Mines lifted so cant help there.

 

That's what I have but has 2.5 inch lift...lol

 

I've posted it in the 3rd gen section but it looks so good I have to post it here too. Bilstein 5100's all around fronts set at 0. OME 888's up front OME Dakar Leafs in the rear, as well as SPC UCA's. Gained 2.5 inches in the front and 2.0 inches in the rear. It rides amazing. Can't wait for tires but have a honeymoon to go on soon.

 

what else is installed in the front there?

 

SPC upper control arms

 

is that a new bump stop or something with it

 

Bump Stop? I had to get Upper Control Arms because I plan on putting 285 tires on the truck.

 

What grill is that?

 

It's the grille from the XSP package. I think it was $225 from the dealer.

 

That’s not a bad price. I think it’s the best grill I’ve seen so far.

 

Thanks. It’s very clean and I don’t really see any like it.
