What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I shall call her Prince Albert

 

More for me!

 

Beautiful FREEDOM!

 

Your truck looks great- clean and refined, yet purpose build. Looks like you did everything intentionally with just this final result in sight.

 

Definitely! As they say freedom is never free and responsibility is never easy. I might have made that up just now

 

Yes for the radio knobs. I just stretched them around the knobs. Easier to grab with big fingers.

 

Looks great. Mardi Gras has kicked off let the Parties begin.
I’ll probably boil some tomorrow. If I’m not too hung over.

 

Anyone with the Morimoto headlights still have the original box they came in? I need the box measurements. Thanks!

Edit: got it, nevermind!

 

@Spuds...see above post. This is exactly what I did.

 

Has anyone done anything to help with the responsiveness of the truck? I tried the pedal commander on my 2008 tacoma and it was too much, too exaggerated even after I put it on the lowest level. I am thinking maybe it will work better on my 2020. Any suggestions? Feels like the truck has to make up its mind whether or not it wants to accelerate when I push on the fast pedal.

 

Make it extra spicey and sweat out that alcohol. If you get that little bit of sweat popping out under your eyes you'll know its spicy enough!
Have a portion for me!

 

Reflectix, velcro, magnets, and a dream of privacy/warmth while sleeping in the back of my rig in winter...

 

You might try having them reflash your computer. I was told by the dealership that because I had a manual transmission that there would be no improvement.
I finally convinced them to do it anyway. Not sure which TSB they used but there seems to have been some improvement although it could be just a placebo. Not sure.

 

Thanks. I will look into that. Never thought of doing that.

 

Good luck. If you have a manual transmission they will most likely resist doing it, they did with me. Remember they want your business especially your warranty business. Mention it when you schedule your Toyota Care and if need be politely remind them that Toyota Care can be performed at any Toyota dealership. Be tactful but not aggressive with the person doing your scheduling. That person will want your favorable feedback.

 

I’ve got Bilstein 5100’s set at 0 and OME 2887 coils up front. 5100’s in the rear with Headstrong 3-leaf AAL in the rear. Gave me about 2” up front and 2 1/2” in the back. Raptor lights are from Runnin4Tacos, it’s their smoked white light set.

 

Just got it yesterday so won't know if it leaks much My 100r on my 2012 leaks a little I think from the bed caps as I never seen around the windows wet.

 

I have an automatic. A must for Miami traffic. Thank you for the advice and that is why I hate going to the dealership. So many stories lol.

 

that was my mission when i got the truck Dec'16 and it was a dog. started with a pedal commander and sold that after OV came up with Alpha files for the MT trucks.

- if you're in a AT truck it can be improved over stock but not great, real responsiveness comes in the MTs.
- MT trucks are dogs, too, until you wake up the motor's tune and open its exhaust. but that is a lot of work, not cheap, and still not complete.

just to give you an idea, for me getting this truck to be sharp and responsive, which it totally is now, took:

- complete replacement of all exhaust including rear cat and crush pipe removal
- using all open-flow non-media filled exhaust components. race muffler, etc
- running OVT 2.0 beta file on 93oct for catless dump tubes. even running the latest and greatest non-beta file or a 91oct file fails this test. gotta go all out for great response.

i have 93oct access, run 30" E tires, and have relearned to drive to get this motor & truck combo happy. it's game-on now. but took 3 years, lots of trial & error, and several grand to figure out. the truck is amazing now, but not sure this work is for everyone. it damn sure is for me, though.

if in DFW come and check it out.

 

Thank you! I did have a vision in mind and this is pretty much it. But thanks to this site I’m sure it will never be over!
