What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm not. I hate Fridays and I definitely hate fun! Fun on a Friday is the worst! Where's my trophy and my T shirt!?

 

Here you go...

 

Yeah, I must be a freaking child because - This ^^^

 

I know this is a super basic look now but in my area none of the (what seems to be endlessly spawning) tacomas have the trd Pro 4runner wheels. Super happy with the look, nothing like a perfect factory offset!

 

Looking good!

 

I purchased through Conicelli Toyota. The garnish is not included with the grille, it’s around $50, also through Conicelli.

 

Nothing super basic about that at all Bro! Looks great!!!!

 

Yup its the Chinese one. But its also hundreds less. Same installation, just add the Toyota letters on to it. Same quality, once installed you can't tell the difference.

 

Lol. That's a classic. I think I put that picture on like 10 years ago when I joined. Probably time to come up with something else.

 

What if I told you that they are ALL CHINESE ones... Toyota just charges more because the box says "genuine toyota part"

 

A buddy of mine has the "knock off" one and it's actually very nice.. And let's be honest, it's a piece of injection molded plastic.... Kinda hard to fuck that one up

 

Looks pretty pricey to me. Not sure what advantage it has over others though.

 

Pretty spot on. Basically the same method I followed but used high temp wrinkle finish to match the powder coat on my prinsu and sliders.

 

Put on some new tires and wheels

 

Definitely like that blue!

 

I don't want to have to go into the cab if all I want to do is remove something from the covered bed and just need to find it in the dark. Walk up to bed, open panel, switch light on if necessary, (switch light off), close panel, walk away.

...but it's nice to know about the unlock light timeout reset, thanks.

<edit> Now that I've thought about it for a minute... There may be some utility in making use of the bed light switch circuit on the dash in that, should I forget to turn the bed lights out, they'll be turned off after that 15-20 min. period automatically. I'd still want the switch in the bed, so essentially I'd be relocating the dash switch. Might be a hassle, or it might be simple. I'll have to look into it.

ha ha ha that's funny!!

 

I have 1300 miles on my truck, walked out to go grab lunch, have a very similar looking crack that wasn't there when I got to work this morning. Upon closer inspection I got a VERY small chip up in the very top 1/2" of the windshield, mid drivers side, that has run down and taken a hard turn towards the passenger side, it's about halfway across now. . FML, I feel your pain.

 

That's exactly why I'm afraid to know how much the windshield swap will cost now with all that camera stuff attached to it (on my '18 with TSS) because here in southern Louisiana I can barely manage to get an inspection each year without having to buy a new windshield because I get hit with rocks all the time. There's a lot of road work here, and a lot of trucks with wheels exceeding their fenders by 3" all around. It only cost me about 180 bucks for a windshield on my old Mazda, but I figure itll be pushing 1000 if/when I have to replace this windshield, if for no other reason than that I wouldnt trust anyone but the dealer to deal with all that TSS shut attached to it.
