What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Doesn’t look as bad when you back up (there’s a telephone pole right next to my truck) but most likely the Tacoma badge will be going

 

I have this mount and have it on the passenger side center vent, just so I wouldn’t lose that vent functionality closest to me. It actually works great from the further vent and doesn’t block the view of my radio or my dash.

 

would love to hear more about this!

 

Got a couple things done the other day, used my truck for actual truck stuff, then picked up a black exhaust tip from the dealer and installed my Morimoto HIDs. I made the brackets the day before they got here so when they showed up all I had to do was wore them up. I thought they would match the color temp of the Morimoto fogs but they are definitely not as pure white, since this I’ve had the bulbs on for a few drives and they have gotten better but still a little blue.

 

go with a 259 style mount and antenna. HRO sells them cheap. That is the setup I am going with this week.

 

I have that too.

Suction cup sucks in hot weather. It keeps falling off. It acts like the sun heat the suction cup and glue loosen up and BAM! It came off. I like Hondo mount way better and stable.

I like DMM too. I am considering to get this much later. First I plan to get the mods done first. Such as light bar, top rack for topper, etc.

 

Beautiful setup, what is the tire size/specs?

 

There is a suction cup mount that is worth buying. 3 years in full sun and all through the winter and it never came off even once, rock solid. I purchased it and another for the wifes on Subaru but she didn't like it stuck to her windsheld. If anyone is interested I can go back through my orders and see if it is still available. Only suction cup mount that I ever found that worked and it even held my Garmin. Cheap too around $20.

 

Anyone have a best price on an OEM, not aftermarket Toyota roof rack?

 

Let's see what you got, Maybe I have same one. I save it in the storage in my truck.

^ This is a wonderful idea. Not completely sure what I’m going to mount there, but I love the bracket attached to the battery hold down. I have to steal this and run with it. Thank you for the idea!

 

There’s the oem grille blacked out. It’s fine.

 

I dipped mine two weeks ago along with my front bumper valance. So far nothing wrong with flares but have a white chip showing in bumper. Maybe hit by a rock or something but will have to re spray a touch up coat. Hope lasts longer than this.

 

Let me go back through my purchases and I'll see if it's still available. I'll get back to you.

 

Thanks. Didn't find OEM Toyota on Amazon. Leary of OEM listings if not from a dealership anyway. Hoping to do better than $340. Won't happen today so the extra $34 won't work.
Long story (still ongoing) but I'm trying to get a best price so I have something to haggle with from the dealership that I purchased my Tacoma from. They owe me $135 for a botched service they performed that I had to take to a different dealership to get fixed. Neither wants to stand tall at this point.

 

It was in first item in the listing. Silly!

So I pulled it up for you:

$345 Genuine Toyota PT278-35140 Roof Rack

https://www.amazon.com/TOYOTA-Genuine-PT278-35140-Roof-Rack/dp/B014V17B82/

 

Got it.
Thank you. The $340 minus 10% seems to be the best deal.
Not sure of the dealership that screwed up the creaking clutch service and I am still on speaking terms but I'll find out.
$340 minus 10% minus $135 parts credit will work for me, doubtful it will work for them, we'll see.
If anyone is thinking about buying a Tacoma in Dudley, Mass. You might want to rethink that.

 

I’m sorry about your dealership issues. Hope this helps:
