What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

"Bumper End Caps"

Rock Auto has them for cheap but I've never seen them firsthand so I can't attest to their quality. Have considered purchasing a pair myself but I'll have to check out their return policy first........, just in case.

 

Getting out in a wheelchair to take photos while off-road isn’t worth the effort so this is what y’all get lol

 

I bought mine new for around $800 (sent them back and got Ray 10s) off eBay and then used another eBay coupon to get 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeak AT3W for $367.20 from Discount Tire Direct. I think you can beat this price, especially if you utilize the eBay coupons.

 

Works for me!
Nice Tacoma!!
Who makes your front bumper?

 

I appreciate it and c4 fabrications, for $650 it is very well made and not too invasive so it doesn’t alter the look of the front end too much!

 

Any cutting involved for the installation?

 

Lookin' good there @Capt_Awesome !! Thank you so much for your business, we truly appreciate it!!!

 

Yes you do need to cut the bumper but it’s worth it https://youtu.be/3pZM-bWNOJQ

 

Put new shifter on this morning from @gogettagrip

 

I have whored the pictures around yesterday and even earlier in this thread. These are the Rockauto bumper ends on my truck. 112 dollars total for the pair delivered to my door. They fit as good as OEM.

 

So much for the quality question, they look good. Didn't see them before. I work long hours so I'm always trying to play catch up on TW and consequently have probably only read about 10% of these threads.
My fears about them being of unknown quality have been removed. Will eventually go with a real bumper but for now and at that price this will work for me. At any rate these are much nicer than the horrible chrome end caps they put on the Off Road. They look really good!

 

Picked up a RAV4 driver's side mirror with the convex inset.

Anyone have a link on how to replace the mirror glass? Searched the site, could only find instructions for Gen1 and 2. The back of the new mirror looks a bit different.

Edit: Never mind. Found it.

Thanks to @ChasVS.

 

For what it's worth Bob, I am a hardcore car guy for nearly 30 years now. I have seldom found much issue with aftermarket parts when they are plastic or rubber. It's just the sheetmetal parts that usually give fitment or quality problems. The Chinese have figured out plastic parts pretty well....pretty well....

 

Clever people those Chinese! It's no wonder we have such a trade deficit with them,

 

That is a whole subject matter on its own.

They do know how to reverse engineer things fairly well if there are few pieces.

 

Wouldn't surprise me if the company making the after-market parts for a discount has an under-the-table deal going with the company that makes the OEM parts. It's known to happen.

 

Are you sure that's a shifter? That thing looks like it should have been delivered in a non-descriptive plain brown wrapper.

 

I second the quality. Mine also came from Rock Auto

 

Hmm i wonder if that’s why my coworker all of the sudden wanted to drive my truck at lunch lol.

 

The fogs are actually just cheap $20 LEDs! Lol and I don't even like em! I am replacing them with some special amber morimotos that were part of a group buy.

If you want to match the color just find something that is 3k kelvin though. Hope you like it!

Thanks!

I got these ones right here, keep in mind this is for the double cab.
