What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hahahah! Yeah man 25 now

 

I called the owner of the landscaping company who's mower slung a rock into the side of my 3 month old truck. Plenty of witnesses that the area being mowed was strewn with rocks. I called the owner and got a voicemail. Told him if he did not take care of this I would just contact the city who hires him to mow the grass around the city. I told him I would text him the pix of the rock damage as well and I did. He texted back immediately and said he would call shortly. he called, apologized and told me to get an estimate wherever and send it to him and he would pay it. I did an online estimate with Caliber Collision and have not heard back from them yet. The damage isn't great but it is damage caused by a slung rock from a mower that needs to be taken care of on my brand new truck.

 

You should be fine, I've never seen anything other than 2016 model owners saying they had this problem. I believe Toyota addressed it after it was a frequent problem with that model year.

 

Ordered wheels this morning.

 

Glad he said that he would take care of it. Small or not that would drive me crazy especially on a 3 month old truck.

 

So @DanishTaco, what’s your next mod? (Haha, helping a brother out)

 

Before the rack installation, the following mods have been installed in the past:

• XB Headlights
• Ditch lights (on hood) (plan to replace them with new ones later.)
  
• Taillights (clear glass instead of red)
  
• Total Tail Light for taillights
• Rain guards for windows
• Pop n lock for tailgate
• Meso FOB (another Meso FOB on the way for secondary factory fob replacement)
  
• Remote starter
• Leds in map and dome lights...
• Leds in tail lights and reverse which came with Total light mod.
• Topper with rack, lights included inside.
• Bed Stiffeners
• Hood struts

I haven't posted about the mods above because I was lurking for awhile before I decided to post. Anyway, I have more mods that are planned to be installed.

 

It didn't happen if there are NO pics.

 

i remember my first paint chip. Was driving by a bus stop and her a “clang”... was sure what it was. Pulled over into the gas station and sure enough had a small chip on my door. Like if I got hit with a coin or tiny rock. I was pissed. Helped me get over the “keeping my truck pristine” phase. Don’t sweat the small stuff anymore.

 

I am working on it... I plan to have the lightbar installed on the rack first then have the picture taken.

You can see my avatar for headlights for example.

 

Thanks! Sounds like i have a choice of living with lifting the hood or moving the switchpro

 

Look into the type that attaches to hood hinges.
Sokietech Black Strut Gas Lifter Hood Damper Kit for 16-20 Toyota Tacoma N300

 

It affected 2016-2018 model years according to T-SB-0055-18.

I have a 2018 and havent noticed any leaks yet, but it crosses my mind during heavy rains.

 

Yesterday I finished painting my calipers!

This is how they look!

 

Will do thanks!

 

Nice! Looks like you grabbed them off a Porsche 911 with the $9,000 optional ceramic brake system

 

Nice! I want to paint mine red to match the truck.
what paint did you use?

 

Grabbed some 2020 Trd Pro tail lights yesterday from a local dealer.

 

Rotopax, Maxtrax, and CBI bumper in one go

 

Nice!!
