What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Very nice!

 

Just a couple of the basics to get me started...

• Diff breather relocation to taillight area
• Hardwired dual USB under the dash for my dashcam and so I have a cable on the left side for my phone mount
• A/C drain relocation below the frame

Still on the to-do list...

• Install the Pro grille once the dealer gets it in
• Install an aux. fusebox for future radios (and tap the dashcam/phone charger into this)
• Figure out where the hell to mount said radios
• Yank the running boards so I can install the Mobtown sliders I have on order

 

Prepped racks and bikes for upcoming beach road trip.

 

I upgraded by busted ass front body mounts


New vs Old

 

Didn't do much with the Taco today.....ran a few errands this afternoon and came home.

Yard isn't big at all......but at least its nice and green.

 

I

I'm about to put down some artificial grass. #Phoenix problems..

 

New family member just arrived

 

Changed out the tail lights Faux Pro's Before After

 

Got in on the redline tuning hood strut GB, package came Saturday and took about an hour out of the wife’s busy home cleaning and yard care scheduling to install them. They do what they’re supposed to do (maybe even better than I imagined), as they can actually lift that heavy hood all by their little selves. As I was working on it, the wife said “I thought you were done doing stuff to your truck?” Haha, silly girl...little does she know about TW!

How hard are they to change out?

 

Not bad at all. It took me about 45 mins but I have the slimline bumper and it made the fender skirt removal slightly easier. @Victory has a nice write up here. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...at-noise-may-not-be-your-leaf-springs.464993/

 

Wish I could send some of this humidity your way.


It's been pouring down rain intermittently today......and my next-door neighbor has her sprinklers running wide open throttle, lol.

Very nice !!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sounds good. Looked there but didn't see the TRD version. Will ask about it. Thanks again.

 

Dealer did my passenger side at 5,000 miles under warranty. Dealer had no clue. They greased my sway bar bushings LOL and sent me home. Squeaked like a 1965 Dodge truck. Had to make 2 videos before they would repair it. Told Corporate I was parking it. After 11 days waiting for them to diagnose the noise in the video they approved the repair. They refused to do both sides. So far no more issues now at 18,500 miles. But if you hear that squeak you know exactly what it is. Sounds like 2 snow geese having rough sex.

 

I keep two in the bed all the time but if these fail in the next 5 years I'm getting new ones free

 

Introduced the Taco to his big brother today.

 

Also, tried to come up with a way to compete with @DubfromGA and his mastery on the grille! I think I have the answer.

 

I hear ya, bro........go with the BIG bag of Kingsford blue bag.....can't go wrong.


LMAO !!!!

 

Snow Geese Fetish (east coast thing. Rob knows)

 

Sweet pic.



I'm a fan of the Tundra trucks......but yer Taco has much bigger balls than that one parked side you !!!!
