What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

it’s an improvement. A lot more drivable now.

 

Does anyone have the name of the vendor or a link to their site for the small "mountain graphics" that go just above the Tacoma door badges. I thought that I had it book marked but it's not there and I've back tracked through the posts but can't seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated.

 

TVD Vinyl

 

That's it! Thank you Kerri!!

 

It's @rrentrop - site is tvdvinyldecals.com

 

Thanks Cap!

 

No worries - I've got a TON of his vinyl on my truck. The custom side marker lights are my favorites.

 

I got tsb 0058-18 done today. BIG difference. No questions asked, which is crazy cuz I live in Flatistan Florida. Also 5k checkup, and paid for an oil change. 10k is ridiculous. I also ordered a black SR grille surround from my dealer, cuz the ebay one I ordered was folded in half! Grr. All in all, a good day!

 

One last question: Are there separate TSBs for different transmission issues, or is it just one that takes care of several issues? Thanks!

With a TSB, there's no out of pocket cost, right? This is done for free by a dealer?

 

Totally agree with the 10k oil change as being rediculous! Toyota must want to sell more trucks. Paid for my 5k oil change as well, my free 10k is comming up. Will pay for one more at 15k and after the 20k freebie I'll do my own every 5k. Then put on a real front skid with filter access and get rid of that crappy plastic filter cover. Thinking a Jowett Performance with a Fumoto valve.

 

The tsb says its an emission warranty, so 80k, I believe, no cost. I have an RCI skid, they didnt say anything.

 

Thank you! I just don't understand why people don't get this...

 

I got mine from accesorides.com for $159.99 completely plug and play. Use discount code BACK2SCHOOL. Just ordered one for the wife's Rav this morning as well! Save yourself $90

 

Is there anyway to start the push-to-start w/o holding down the brake pedal?

Let's say your passenger gets in first and it’s 145 degrees inside and has the keys. Surely we can start up w/o pushing the brake...

 

I went with the 5160's for the reservoir and a bit more travel. With the AAL, it wasn't that bad, the only thing you have to do is remove one of the existing straps that holds the leafs together on each side to the new ones to fit with the old ones. If you have grinder it is easy to grind off the old rivet and remove the strap. I removed the entire leaf springs and put it all together and then put them back on. I am no where near a wrencher but it was not that difficult at all to do if you have the tools at hand in which I did.

 

Yes, they have to hold the button for 30 seconds I beleive

 

To confirm (and to avoid extra bullshit at the dealership), if one of these two TSBs are addressed, they are actually both taken care of simultaneously? Meaning, if they update the ECU for T-SB-0062-18, it'll also be updated for T-SB-0058-18 as well? Asking my local dealership for anything is like pulling teeth, so if I can ask them to address only one TSB as opposed to two, that would definitely help.

 

I'll try it. There's a thread

63. To start the truck without having your foot on the brake (useful for when a rider goes to the truck before you do and is sitting in the passenger seat) push the PTS button once and release, then push the PTS button and hold it till the truck starts (Approximately 10-13 seconds). This process was tested on a 2017 & 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road with an Automatic Transmission and still requires the smart key to be in the vehicle in order to start.

I'll try this again. Looks like I missed the first push pts buttom & release, then push again and hold 10-13 secs...

Edit: 9/20/18 Press the start button (the accessories activate), release, and press & hold the start button 15 seconds

 

Mwahahahahaha
