What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I bought my truck new and in the first year and a half I had 4 glass chips from rocks. The first 2 were repaired by a local glass company for $40 each while the next 2 were repaired by me with a $11 kit that I got from Amazon. Finally, I got a crack that expanded to 15 inches long in just 2 days. These windshields are the most fragile things I have ever seen in over 50 years of driving. I did some research on Safelight, Pilkington, PPG and a couple of others. When my insurance company asked if I wanted an OEM replacement I said that I wanted a PPG window since I found the best reviews for it. It has been almost 2 years and I have not gotten a single chip or crack even though several rocks have bounced off of it. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks it does!

 

I would be a little worried about the Fumoto without a skid plate. I am running the Fumoto but i have a skid plat to protect it form being snapped off. I do love the ease of draining the oil with the fumoto valve and no mess!

 

I love them compared to the stock lights, matches the rest of the truck.

 

Ouch! Sorry kids. No Christmas. Lol

 

Thanks for the pics. They look good on your white truck.

 

father son time. His 2007 with 100k (when he bought it he said it would be the last vehicle he would need to buy)

 

Does anyone have any input on the pros or cons on a hidden bumper light bar vs a roof rack light bar? Thinking of getting one or the other and curios of the advantage or disadvantage of each. Need to decide while the deals are going on for roof racks so I know what to get. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Only thing I did to mine today was vaccum it out.

 

I did use all the free oil changes, this was my first one. It was really easy, even without the fumoto valve.

Absolutely agreed. Even though I don't off road, but the TRD skid plate is on it's way. Im installing it Saturday.

 

Best mod I've done to date.

1. Increased MPG by 3 MPH.

2. Got rid of the "studder" between 40 and 50 MPH.

3. Fixed the Tacoma "lean."

4. Added a little rumble to the exhaust sound.

5. Leveled the truck.

6. Reinforced my support for "The Dynasty."

Installed a new Intermittent windshield wiper switch on my 2019 Tacoma SR Extended cab (it came with only a Lo, Hi, and Off switch).

I hid my LED lights behind the grill.

 

Best Buy currently has better prices on a couple options, BUT 35% of dash cams at https://store.rexingusa.com/.

 

Added RCI sliders, RCI rack, TRD grill, Rigid SRS 46 pro driving lights on hood brackets, Rigid dually HD diffused on the rear, and Access Vanish bed cover. Just need money for lift and tires now. Haha.

 

@dallas05taco Looks real nice on your truck! Can you share photos with the lights on and are they brighter than stock? I really want to like and buy these but I feel their photos and videos may not represent their product well on their website. Thanks!

 

Safelite did all of it for my deductible ($250).

 

Great pics!! How’s the quality compared to OEM? Does it seem to seal good? I haven’t seen these in person yet but been intrigued.

 

Its brighter than OEM, as far as the seal, it seems a little loose when installed but nothing too alarming. I'll keep an eye on it and see.

Def brighter than stock since the bulbs are leds, I'll see about getting some night pics tonight.
