What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

yeah wish he lived here in dirty jersey tho

 

Not sure about 3rd gen but for 2nd gen you simply rotate the steelie tpms 180° to fit/clear the aluminum wheels. If you can live without them you can always take the originals and make a "pipe bomb" that will cut off the tpms light. Costs like $5-$10.

 

And.... she’s virtually complete...
Installed bolt on Sliders from @Mobtown Offroad

Install was pretty easy. My buddy helped me out a ton. They’d be a bit much to do solo.

I DARE anyone to try and carelessly door ding me now. They’re gonna be pissed if they aren’t paying attention.

Also installed a full set of Aluminum reinforced skids also from @Mobtown Offroad full install of Sliders and Skids took right about 3 hours.

 

I have 5" nerf bars which are great door ding protection too. Love it when a low car parks next to me now. They would lose that battle.

 

So we tried that but that didn’t work for the pro comp wheels.

 

Well now we know. The pipe bomb works well. Tried and true.

 

I guess I’ll do it as a last resort. I’d really like to see if I can actually put TPMS sensors back in the wheels though.

 

I did this this today... now I can see where the mall is!

 

Looks good though.

 

Oh I don't blame you for that. But rather than put out $100+ the pipe bomb will get you by cheap until you can find a good used set. I was going to put a set in a spare set of wheels and tires and I just could not find a good deal. Somewhere in the forum there were complaints that some aftermarket ones would not register so be aware of that. I had a guy with the scanner who would program them for free. I think now its around $25 to get done unless you have a hookup. I know that amber light drives me crazy. My originals broke off and were rolling around inside the wheels and still read psi. While fighting Corporate I stuck them in a $5 junkyard wheel and tire to keep the light off. Toyota finally replaced them at no charge.

 

Any idea if the OEM sensors for alloy wheels might fit?

 

Sorry but I don't know. Search "pro comp" in 3rd gen forums. There must be someone with the correct resolution for you.
Start a conversation with @colliers23, @DLRIII, @rgljr831 because they have pro comp wheels on their trucks.

Thanks hopefully it won't melt the tss in the front grill....

 

Changed my Ram Phone Mount to cradle style instead of the X-grip style. I wanted to be able to put my phone in the holder 1-handed when I get in the truck. Works perfectly now. I'll probably sell the X-grip soon.



I also moved my kydex holster from my old vehicle over to my Tacoma. I made it myself like 8 years ago via vacuum forming. I was able to put more spacers behind it on the Tacoma due to better leg room (by driver's knee), so now I can get a full grip on it easily. Very happy with the results. I ended up with one wrong hole due to modifying the holster to allow for the full grip. It used to have 3 rivet holes on the bottom near the trigger guard. Retention is perfect and doesn't hit the sights.

 

Nice work!
