3rd Gen Magnetic Gray Thread

How easy was it to remove the badges? I have a set of BSP badges I bought 2 years ago. Might throw them on the 2018.

 

Need to know asap!

Will a 2nd gen oem bed mat and bed extender fit on a 3rd gen???

 

Heat gun and fishing line. I used goo gone to get the remaining glue and finished with Windex

 

Bed mat is 100 percent yes. Perfect fit.

 

Perfect.
Mahalo!

 

I don't know about the bed extender however.

 

yup....really easy. I actually just left my truck outside in the sun for a bit and used fishing line. As mentioned, goo gone to clean up the residue and done.

 

Did you remove your TRD vinyls? If so, how?

 

I believe the answer is yes on the bed extender. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2016-tacoma-bed-extenders.412997/

 

you'll love it! welcome to the forum

 

I just ordered mine from a Toyota dealership on eBay. I used their 15 percent off coupon which maxed at $50. It comes with the center caps. All said and done $850 shipped. Did you use your same lug nuts?

 

Even dirty, I love the way my truck looks.

 

Mine is actually an SR5 so no TRD decals to remove

 

TRD Vinyls are easy to remove. Apply a little heat with a Hair dryer and peal them off. If you use a Heat gun be very careful as they don't need to be heated very much to pull off! Clean up any residue with WD40, or any of the mild adhesive removal sprays available out there.

 

How do you like the Methods? I was looking at Fuel Vector Anthracite 17s, but they look too silver versus gunmetal.

 

nice deal! I used the same lugs, yes. Black would be better but at this point I'm over it.

On a completely different topic but still MGM related note, I also noticed a little base coat paint blotchiness / cloudiness / mottling on some body panels while waxing her the other day. I'd imagine many have but my OCD personality picks it up easier as its only noticeable on overcast days and in the right light. Very slight, but none the less not the smoothest metallic paint job at all. I am going to have the dealer look at it when I bring her in for her 5k service. Expecting to be laughed at and "I don't see anything"... but whatever, at that point it may not even bother me anymore.

 

Got my wheels and my bestop super top. Cant wait to install them. Might go 275/75r17 KO2 dont know if they will rub on 0 offset wheels.

 

I like the Roosts. It is still one of my choices.

 

I like the methods a lot but hate the centercaps (as do everyone else)
Mine are 16’s.
