What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the Victory 4x4 bumper with a Warn EVO 8s winch. Their video said that you have to relocate the control pack, but I found that if you bend the metal support a little that the pack can be installed on the winch and it will fit (3rd picture down). I didn't do anything to the front suspension and have noticed it sits an inch or so lower in the front with the bumper and winch weight on it. Anyone else just riding that as is or is a suspension beef up in order?

Installed the cold air intake as well. I've noticed absolutely no difference in power or even sound. At least it was a good Black Friday deal.

 

Hey bigbro6785,
I have not seen the parts list yet. I should see it after Christmas. The body shop is working on another 3rd gen. Tacoma. They took the bed completely off of the truck and just re-placed parts of the bed. Obviously, it's not as bad as my truck but that is the way it goes.

As far as what happened, I got rear-ended by a re-cycle truck and dragged 20 feet into the back of my wife's 2018 Chevy Traverse. It's been a little crazy with this whole mess.

 

In the process of sound deadening the rear wall. Is is recommended not to cover the vent? Is it bad if they are covered? I’ve seen both where people cover them or go around.
Appreciate any feedback?

 

Pilot, not a CRV but your point still stands. My wife has a Pilot. It’s definitely not a truck

 

Wow! This man has been places!

 

Added the TRD skid plate and LCA skids today

 

Nice! Who's LCA Skids?

 

I don’t remember. I bought them used off a local member here. I’ll look and see if I can get you an answer.

 

I thought about putting my switches up there. But figured it would be a PITA. Looks like I was right! Looks awesome! Nice job!

 

looks good op. I will be installing a TRD air box too. Got a great deal on it also

 

That looks awesome. I want to do the same thing but meso doesn’t make an overhead panel for the sport model. I’ve been brain storming but coming up blank.

 

Put foam plugs in mine. I was afraid that the heat, cold air, and defrost wouldn't work properly without someplace for the air to leave the cabin.

 

Thank you kindly.

 

Installed my trd pro shift knob.. not a fan of how it feels, but I think it looks way better than the plain knob. I need to remove it though so I can replace the stitching with orange to match my seats, and paint the side red trim to match my inferno dash trim.

 

you are gonna put that effort into a knob you don't like the feel of?

 

Probably, I only put my hand on it to put in drive, then into park. I do actually have a cool project that I want to do with it before I change the stitching though.

 

Mines a Sport. I did have to cut some plastic.

 

Thanks. I’m going to figure it out. I think my overhead is different. I’ll look at it again tomorrow.

 

Switched to a Leitner Rack ACS for the bed storage and RTT mount. Added a water port onto it and currently working on my lights for it! Overall the best addition on the truck!
