What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No problem Bud, happy to help. PM sent regarding the t-slot nuts.

 

"Fastenal" for those hard to find or just about any commercially made fastener.

 

That doesn't surprise me. Every time I took mine in for free service they suggest an alignment which baffled me. They did a free alignment at 5,000 miles but continued to suggest another one. I asked if these trucks have an issue with holding alignment but they avoided an answer. Never took them up on another alignment. If I need one I'll go somewhere else.

 

Never accept their first offer and even their second. It is always an insult and them trying to steal from you.

 

That old craftsman jig saw was cutting a good line huh? Great job.

You know about a hundred folks on here went to the Emergency Room over this post?? LMMFAO. Cutting holes in a new truck around here is nuts..Thanks, one of the best post and installs I've seen here.

If I pull out that plastic cargo box is the frame still curved up in the middle?

 

Love the color match and raptor lights! I actually saw your post prior to buying the grill and really liked the looks of it!

 

Thanks!

 

Yup and thanks! I’ve had it over 25 years, works great. Hardest part on the snorkel installed was removing the wheel well liner as those plastic clips are a PITA without breaking. My suggestion is to order a bunch beforehand and just quickly break them off on the removal.

I will say that washing the windshield is a bit of a pain now was wel with the snorkel

 

Yes, there is a hump in the middle.

 

I recently purchased the OEM overlay kit and am considering blacking out the chrome badges. The one issue I have with the overlays is that certain areas are completely filled in and not open ... like the lower part of the 6 of the V6 badge. (Note: I’m not going to debadge my truck, I like the badges)



Update: I ended up doing some trimming to the 6 and the “a’s” of the Tacoma and think it looks decent enough ... for now.

 

I just bought black badges. Problem solved.

 

Not sure why, but I always assume that Amazon and eBay carry the same stuff. Don’t forget to check both!

for those looking for T-nuts for their prinsu rack, here are some stainless steel ones:

I’m probably going to do that too.

 

Just plastidip and save yourself some coin. I recently did the rear bumper and grille surround ring with their Black Sapphire color and i think it looks great as it is not just a matte/flat back. Side badges are next. The rear bumper needs re-doing since I didnt have the technique down, but the grille surround came out nicely. I'll try to post up some pics soon

 

Got the RTT on, some overhang but doesn’t look too bad. Can always slide it forward when not taking the bikes

 

Loaded up for an afternoon at the lake!

 

Where is the best place to buy OEM Toyota TRD Pro wheels? I have stock TRD 16" on my 2019 but would like to go up to a 17".
