What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What lights did you use?

 

Thanks! My hands are hurting from all the work today, but it was worth it.


I put some LED bed lights in too. Used a pin switch on the tailgate. When you open it, they automatically come on. Very productive day!



The lights were 60”, but I cut them to the correct length to fit under my side rails.

I got these on Amazon. Just cheap LED’s. But easy to mount. Just drill a hole and hook em up.

Just got my bronze SCS Ray 10’s mounted. Went with the 16x8’s and 285/75r16 KM3’s. Love em so far. Stance is perfect. Need to do some minor trimming before taking it off-road. Ultimately may do Cab Mount. I have a steep driveway so I rub at full lock at the bottom. Pretty easy fix though.

Top photo is stock with 265/76r16’s—no rubbing.

Middle Photo adds Icon Stage 4–huge improvement handling and ride quality.

Bottom Photo adds Ray 10’s.

 

What brand of vinyl did you get? Where did you purchase it from. I’m planning on doing this soon too.

 

Lots of people will tell you to get the mtm foam cannon... its $100 to throw some soap on a car. Just get a cheap one on Amazon, many company's make them. Maxshine is a great company with amazing prices, I believe the foam cannons go for about $30

I hooked up a Pyle PSP8 weatherproof monophone speaker under the hood and ran it to my CB radio unit in the cab. Plugged right into my Midland unit. No amplifier and my neighbors can hear me down the street on full volume. Cost 12$, so I'm pretty happy embaresssing my girlfriend with this thing around campus. Here's a video, sorry it cuts the joke off short, not sure why it did that...

Also I've been battling horrible whistling and roof vibrations from my 52" curved roof light bar, and i tried every solution out there. Weatherstripping, clogging vent holes, taping the front faceplate bolts, and I finally found something that works. I used duct tape for now, but I'm thinking of making something out of tall rubber baseboard and supergluing/JBwelding Down one side into a vent channel and the other onto the windshield glass (not the paint). I literally have zero noise now, it's amazing how redirecting the airflow worked so well.

I unhooked the water line that goes to the throttlebody on the 2.7 not sure if the V6 has the same deal but I figured getting hot water away from the throttlebody should help improve possible horsepower. I had a 2014 Chevrolet truck where the coolant went through the throttlebody ,I had a friend you had a Dyno and we dyno it before and after and it was a four horse power difference. I’ve been driving my Tacoma this way for about three months now and has not affected in anyway. I just unhook the hose from the throttlebody and looped it back around to the engine in the picture my screwdriver is pointing to what I did

 

Removed front license plate thanks to new legislation being passed, however I got a couple nice holes in my front bumper now. Ordered a faux pro grill and MESO turn signals, should be here and installed next week.

 

Look here for plugs to match your bumper color. Parts stores probably have them in different colors fairly cheap.

I'm a big fan of your videos too Rob. Thank you for taking the time to produce them. Love it when you involve your kids.

Nice.. Stock suspension?

 

Good Luck with your recovery, know from experience it takes a while. Having another injection in my Knee Monday to try and put off knee replacement, but am going to have to some day!

 

Hah well I guess I’ll go that route then! Thanks for the idea

 

Dropped it off for tires and level this morning!

 

Yes for sure
