What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Black Beauties.

 

Fresh meat showed up

 

It's almost like an auxiliary ECT....

 

Picked it up (a few days ago actually). Quite an upgrade from the old one. Ordered 17-Jan, delivered 26-May.

- Entune doesn't seem nearly as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Then again, I really don't care about that. Also, the non-JBL speakers sound great.

- I keep bumping my left shin on the paneling under the 400/100W button.

- The ride is not rough, regardless of what people say on YouTube.

- It's a good thing an alarm sounds when you put it in reverse. Sometimes it's very easy to put it in reverse and other times it's not. Done it twice at a light already. I guess I'm just used to VW transmissions.

- WTF is up with the front USB port not charging. I thought something was wrong until I looked in the manual.

- Back up camera is abysmal compared to my VW, but I knew that going in.

The capability, reliability and that voodoo blue make up for any issues I have. I really like this truck. Totally worth the nearly 5 month wait and $1k below MSRP I paid. The white truck is the one it replaced.

 

Nice Rims, whats the make and model

 

They’re the tacoma TSS wheels

 

Just a dab of plain old rubbing compound on a fingertip to apply to the scratches behind your door handles will work really well! Then just follow up with wax.

 

I got my BAMF bed bars in today.

Now I just have to get them painted and properly mounted. I do have to cut some little notches in the mounting brackets where they hit my OEM tonneau cover brackets though. Shouldn't take too long hopefully.

 

I bought these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D2B1CD3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I opted for these because they had many excellent reviews and for $12 I figured I wasn't out too much if they sucked. In my opinion, they're a steal. Fit and look great. I've inspected the OEM letters up close and these are just as good. They offer black and chrome (only $9) letters and I got them in 3 days w/Prime shipping.

[edit] I see they raised the price to $15 now.

 

Thanks, not sure how I missed them.

 

Got my MESO fix on today. Received my ultimate turn signals and new key fob

Both were very easy to do, got them done on my lunch break

 

Well with 1&4 there should be a setting that automatically locks all the doors after the key has been out of range for a set amount of time. I’m pretty sure you can change what you want that time to be set to too, similar to the backlight on your cellphone

 

Ordered 5 Toyo Open Country ATII 265-75/16 tires. Gotta rock the full size matching spare!

 

i'm probably wrong, but i think that only works when you hit "unlock" but don't actually open any doors.

 

Here are a couple of before and after pics of my bumper/winch install which I finished up this afternoon. I think once you’ve done one you could probably cut out about 6 hrs on the next one. This took me two days in the Florida sun. Opps NO Whining.
The bumper is a SOS slimline and the winch is a Warn 10K

 

Fresh meat 265/70/17C ridge grapplers. Night and day difference from my worn out and cupped ko2s

 

Replaced giant bed decals with more tasteful matte black emblems on C-pillar

 

What size did you go with?

 

Ordered tailgate letters and a center console organizer plus received my RFCC TTG2 controller and camera today. Hoping my TRD Pro grill will show up so I can look at it all and wish I could install it but I had knee surgery yesterday and am not as mobile as I need to be for all of that.
