What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Brake override failure does not cause the truck to not be startable. edit it's a 2016. This issue doesn't happen on 2016s

 

Save yourself some time and hassle. Get the battery checked out at your FLAPS(Favorite Local Auto Parts Store). It is best to start with the simplest fix first before chasing electrical ghosts. Besides, 4 years is longer than normal for a stock battery and Toyota batteries are known to fail in the exact manner you describe. Mine did.

 

Dammit! I wish you guys would stop posting pics of the puddle lights! I just ordered Matt Gecko LED bed lights and Hood light. Now I’m gonna have to order those damn puddle lights. Grrrr

 

LOL welcome to the modding rabbit hole. I have so many LEDs in every direction at this point... Just not under the truck now that I think about it

 

I just did the the Meso Black out dash mod. Ordered the black handles. Did the lights behind the grill. Ugh. I thought I was done!!!!

 

Ha I just did the blackout too, but need to order handles. It's the only chrome left on the interior. It never ends.

 

Unless you’re an insta-bro, please don’t.

 

Install wasn’t bad. Took us like 4 hours with three half hour breaks lol. I ordered mine on 2/3 and got it 2/20 to my door. Very impressed with the customer service, quality, and speed. Although I’m sure it’s not always that quick!

 

I found out battery is covered. Well that's what they tell me before I bring the truck in. Will use the replacement as my secondary. Therefore, need some input on a battery box to mount behind the air filter housing.

 

It sure sounds like your battery has finally gone bad.

My first choice would be a Deka battery. They have an outlet in Spring Valley.

If you need a battery in a hurry, the Walmart Everstart Maxx has been receiving good reviews.

 

I got these: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...rucks-knurled-black-anodized-aluminum.556567/

Edit why is it changing the url to asterisk?

 

BAM Wholesale does that for some reason.

 

Yeah our local one has the sound through the radio too but all of the old speaker posts are still standing...last time I was there someone went to leave and turned a little too early and ran one along their side and past the rear wheel well, felt bad for the poor guy.

 

My first job was flipping burgers at the Victory Drive-in Theater in Savannah, Ga. I was still in high school and earning $25 a week. Better than nothing.

 

Yup! That’s what I call “clean install”. I can now do laundry from a certain distance! Lol

 

Sorry...…...hehe
