What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bummer, but glad you're OK (or at least OK enough to post)

 

Picked up some 12 foot and 16 foot lumber today in my double cab shortbox! Got to try out my Boondocks T-Bone bed extender...

 

Getting rid of more chrome today, got the door handles and vent rings left to do. Also finished tweaking a beveled version of the little letters for the glove box and put em up on thingiverse if anyone has a printer. Got someone’s old chrome rings that I am going to paint match to the OEM climate rings which is what I am painting everything else to already. Found out the 2020 cup surround is actually a bit lighter than the climate rings. Toyota really didn’t want anything to match in this truck with all the gray shades. Gonna have to find someone’s old cup surround and paint it too.

 

Shakedown run with new Tenkosha P3, and RVS wired rear view camera (with a 5 inch monitor). The monitor is mounted on a diy cupholder stand using the adhesive base it came with. The monitor will be removed between trips and I decided that a heavy duty cable tie was the way to secure the AV plug to the rear instead of drilling the bumper.

 

This is so damn cool! Would love to see more pics and the inside of that trailer!!

 

I really like that! Different then everybody else’s

 

Leveled with 3000lbs of concrete block.

 

The same reason I'm going to install one. There are a few videos of people going up steep hills and it pushing oil into the intake. White exhaust smoke and the rest is history....

 

We call that the 1 ton Tacoma version!

 

In case anyone isn't familiar with the issue...

Out of warranty? I want to do this before it’s a problem on mine (yes on infected list) but I’d rather the dealer hAnd me the light in warranty and then install myself

 

With all the stay at home order in place and bored out of my mind. I reminisce on the many adventure/ off roading adventure i had with my 2wd Tacoma.

I am 46k miles and they told me to pound sand. They won’t just give you the light. Just let them do it. Not hard, but mine won’t be covered if it leaks again. Just get yours to leak

 

18s have issues now too? F**k man. May need to rethink that extended warranty on my 20 .

 

Installed Toyota OEM taillights and bed extender today!

 

But I’d do it better than them… at least by the book and taking my time. I know they’d try to knock it out as quick and careless as possible. I do have a decent relationship with my SA so maybe I’ll just bring it up while I hand him a cigar.

 

It’s on the updated tsb

 

So likely the problem was never addressed with the gaskets.

 

Yes sir. I’ve seen a couple of them with this problem now. The job is not hard, just takes a bit. Going slow and taking pics, it took me 2 1/2 hours.

Hahaha!! Do it!! The job is not hard at all. I’ll give it a 3. Just realize you have a 10mm bolt on both of the B and C pillars. It took me a second to realize something else was holding them on.
