What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I installed the OEM Remote Tailgate Lock Kit (P/N:

$160 PK3B6-35JS0 Toyota Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Short Wheelbase Tailgate Lock (PK3B6-35JS0)

PK3B6-35JS0). Love the fact that the tailgate locks with my remote now without having to tap or cut into the stock harness!

I see your pdf instructions indicate MY 19 and up. I wasn't aware of a part like this. Does 16-18 MY have a part number?

Thanks

 

Thank you

Doing very well Bud, so far so good. Just waiting for the gas bubble that was put over the hole to disipate. That's when we will know if the procedure was a success. She can see the bubble so that's encouraging. Keeping my fingers crossed. Told her that if it doesn't take that I have some really nice veg tanned leather and I can make her a nice hand tooled patch for that eye. Her response was as expected, first a,chuckle and then.....

She's a good sport!

 

Do you have them on a 2020? I felt like it was taking a lot of pushing. Flat side against the piece as indicated on the package?

 

Added a sub and amp last couple days. Also put my gun magnet in.

 

Not really a mod I wanted to do.................had to order 2 new batteries they will be here next Friday. I went with North Star this time.

I have a dual battery setup and for some reason the starter battery has been dead a few times. Luckily I can link them together and it fires up, however not sure what the issue is..........Seems like it happens when it is the coldest. I am now living in West Virginia and no longer in California so maybe it was going bad and not as noticeable due to not being cold enough in California to bring it down. I think I may have let it go too low while camping, however not sure how that worked either due to my fridge being hooked up to the other battery. I have been off work due to an injury so the truck has not been going anywhere for days at a time.I have 2 Odyssey PC1400's, they are probably 2 years old. I have nothing drawing power I am aware of, I even disconnected my scan gauge which has been plugged in, thinking it may be that. I also turned off the breaker to all the rear outlets since nothing is back there right now anyway.

When I get the new ones I will top them off and ensure everything is wired correctly before installing the new ones. I am no electrical guy, so a little puzzled...............any suggestions?

Here are some pics of current set up and new batteries I am replacing them with..................

 

No, mines a 2019. For mine I like it a lot more than the OEM small knobs.

 

Congratulations ! Whats next ?

 

What DC to dC charger are you using ? I didnt see it , maybe I missed it.....Ive gotta do a dual battery set up too and this scares me. Ive been studying for a year trying to learn. Please let me know what you figure out.

 

I threw in some black Tundra LED fog lights

Nice link. I've never had an issue with having "blind spots" in any of my vehicles. It's all in how you set your mirrors. Too many people like to look down the side of their vehicle instead of looking in the lanes beside them. Thanks for posting.

 

Drove her out of warranty yesterday


Also finally got a dash cam on Black Friday went with the

$160 Rexing V1P 4K Car Dash Cam 2.4" LCD 2160p Front + 1080p Rear Wi-Fi 170° Wide Angle Dual Channel with Rear Cam, G-Sensor, WDR, Loop Recording Mobile App Supercapacitor

Rexing V1P and it's great so far. The rear camera causes some radio interference in my wife's Accord, Ferrite Chokes did nothin. I'm going to move it from the top of the windshield right under the antenna to down to the bottom. No problem with the rear cam right under the antenna in the Taco though.

 

Todays commute.

 

Did you get the V1P or V1P 3rd gen? I know there is a difference in the rear camera quality between the two. If you got the V1P how do you like the rear camera picture quality? I've been looking at these and may get one at some point. Thanks

 

I got the 3rd gen. I had the lower quality rear camera rexing unit before and returned it partially because of how poor the rear image was. This new one is just as clear as the front. And it's still on sale for $30 off on Amazon

 

Awesome. Thanks

 

Bumpershells to get rid of the chrome back bumper !

 

I have the same piece. Rides perfect in that cubby no-one uses just in front of the cupholders that almost always go unused.
