What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I was in Fredericksburg VA for 4 years, then transferred in 2016 to Texas then out here.............hopefully not here much longer.

 

Looks great, I have been wanting these myself. Easy to install??

 

Yes once the toyota sign is removed/poped off, you just align and drop. Easier than vinyl.

 

Thanks, I bet they will really pop out on your wheels. I will be ordering some for sure.

 

The sensors sense the turning of the axle. If the sensor gets damaged the system thinks 1 wheel is turning faster then the other and engages the traction control, trying to slow down the axle that is turning faster. This will cause the truck to come to a stop. I had this happen in another vehicle once. Work around was to pull the fuse for the abs/traction control. Not sure if this will work in the Tacoma.

 

Got the new skid plate mounted up today.

I found this auto shifter knob on ebay. $36.00 US. To me it looks and feels nicer than the OEM. Screws right on and the boot clips to the bottom.

 

Is the lettering silver or white?

 

Thanks to all the lurking on this site and the feedback from members in a thread about exhaust, I ordered the

$505 Gibson 618814 Stainless Cat-Back Single Exhaust System

Gibson 618814 exhaust. It arrived today and is now on the truck. Couldn't be happier with it!

 

Awesome choice. I have the same one. Been using roughly 20 months and love it. Only glitch for me was the tailpipe was a little too close to my 265/70/17 KO2 spare. I had to do a slight mod to gain some clearance. Some have complained about drone from different brands. To me it's not so much of a drone issue as much as it is just a very noisy cabin. Seems like Toyota neglected to put any real noise dampening in these trucks and most noticeably in the rear of the cab. I felt that way before adding exhaust. You will like the sound. Much better than the much more expensive TRD exhaust. After 20 months it sounds very throaty. I am just an old 60 year old grampa but I really like the Gibson sound.

 

Flippin Amazing. I loved my FJ40

 

Got a break today from the rain so I installed my Raptor style lights with custom carbon fiber backing plates.

 

Light bar! Very pleased with the power of it “BlackOak” @33,000 lumens is as high as I’d seen when shopping. When accessory instructions start by having you throw away important pieces of your new Toyota, DON’T! Talking about those air deflectors on either side of the radiator. These are easily and only slightly modified to co-exist with the “Caliraised” brackets that arrived with my Blackoat light. They are very nice. Extend the lower mounting hole downward 4 or 5 mm to allow for better alignment of the light. All lights on the double row light bar have a clear view ahead without cutting up the stock lower grill. Installed a switch from Toyota in the blank slot next to the others. Looks like factory!

 

pictures?

 

33,000 lumens?!

 

It's matte white Plastidip.

 

Not sure if I like it..

Going back and forth between this 2

 

Today I put Wilwood brakes on my truck. The install was easy and only took a couple hours to complete.
The folks at Wilwood are top notch. My truck will be on display in the Raceline Wheels booth from tomorrow through next Saturday at KOH. I got new wheels too. They are a translucent red. I don't know if I like them yet. My theme is classic. stay with almost exact ppi Ivan replica. The red might grow on me but don't be surprised if go back to aluminum polished.

 

New addition

 

Yupp went with the 2 gallon, there’s enough room where I believe a 3 gallon would work, I’ll eventually get another 2 gallon and double stack it.
