What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

CBI thinks very highly of me...

 

Installed the fuse panel and mounting plate from @paranoid56 today. At $25 for the surface mount version, you really can’t go wrong. Still a couple more months to go before getting the lights and switches but everything else is installed or prepped.


Yesterday I derped the OR wheels. It’s only meh but the decals didn’t make it through the winter and with only 5k miles, I’ll wait for next spring for new wheels and tires.

Btw- stick to Plasti-dip, Rust-Oleum peel coat is horrible and their clear coat version is even worse!

 

Keep us posted if your dash lights up. Which locking cap did you go with?

 

Wow! That’s one hell of a mod list. I would have to save for a while to get all that done...or skip my kid’s tuition. hmmmm

 

It’s the Stant. Haven’t started the truck yet, but I’ll check if the light comes on. I had the same one on my 1st Gen for 12 years, worked perfect.

 

Sad but true!

 

Does it count if I've only ordered & assembled the parts? Gonna be a fun 4th weekend



Shoutout to meso, vtec, & 18taco (and all the discussion in the BHLM threads) for various parts and guidance!

 

My 17 year old son’s first Tacoma. 2019 SR Utility. His truck his payments and his insurance. Which the Tacoma itch hit him 1 hour after getting it. Air Damn removed and windows tinted.

 

Good to see the TW family growing!
Let the spending begin! BTW tell your son welcome to the family!

 

Started less than 24 hours

 

Might as well reroute the A/C Drain Tube. Lol.

 

It’s too easy! Know the feeling all to well!

 

Don’t forget the rear differential breather mod!

 

Did that on my 2016. I still have extra tubing and hose clamps. I guess that would equal a free mod for him

 

Get him doing the little stuff now (unless he already is) and it will just reenforce the confidence for vehicle and house DIY. It’s always nice to see when the younger generations can learn to be self sufficient.

 

Is that a Kubota BX? We may have the same baby tractor.

 

Added my old cargo box and a new bike rack.

 

I haven't done anything yet, but plan to trim a little plastic asap. I think I can avoid a cmc, I only rub at full lock. I have some more investigating to do though, I think I might get some slight rubbing on the cab mount at full lock over bumps.

 

What kind of leveling kit did you put on this? What’s your wheel and tire set up? Truck looks good!

 

My speedo is off a bit. 1 mph from about 40-49, 2mph from about 50-65, and about 3mph at 65+. These are just rough numbers but a general idea.
Gears are ok. I might tune it before pulling the trigger on a regear. It could just use a little more punch is all. Highway speeds are just fine.
