What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

But I bought mine for a SR price.

it’s all about the Skewp!

 

Or you could use the volume control on the steering wheel.

 

Started to install pass side smart handle but had to order some more wire loom. then I figured since I'm fixing to roll past 100k, it's time to replace fluids front to back since I dont know the history of the truck. Was clipping along until the damn front diff drain plug. Damn thing is freaking stuck stuck. Cant decide if I'm gonna go buy a new plug and air hammer the old one out or suck out what I can with a fluid extractor and do a couple drain and fills until it looks good.

 

Perfect! Was looking for a cheap solution to my fat fingers!

 

I forget...

 

Put the new stairs on today!


Made them fold to fit in the camper and can lock them on as well

 

@eclane

My stock fog light bulbs were H16, and I replaced them with H11

$20 Nokya NOK7618 Halogen Bulb

Nokya NOK7618 Hyper Yellow halogen bulbs. They were an easy plug and play fit, and work GREAT.


You should be OK.

 

I installed Meso V4 Mirror signals, and the stage 1 tail light system. Then I wired in some Blinker Genie 2's to run my new mirror signals as marker lights. I'll let you know if they burn up. Here's a crappy vid of how the Blinker Genie's operate...

Nate.

 

Yeah definitely. I removed the plasti dip from the gas flap cause it didn’t look good.. the bumpers are great though.

 

Love these things

 

Most Excellent!
Time to get the heatgun, fishing line, and goofoff out and delete those chrome Tacoma badges! Lol

Not very exciting but I replaced front radiator support bushings. Truck only has 12k miles and they are shit already. When will Toyota stop sending trucks off the line with known problems ??

 

Greg...Curious as to what issues you were having that caused you to replace those?
Is it something that is common? Did you just replace with stock radiator bushings?

 

It is a known issue on 2nd gens and it will be a known issue on 3rd gens also because Toyota still uses the same soft crap bushings. I heard a slight clunk in front every so often so I decided to change the bushings. It’s a cheap mod that took less than an hour to do.

It looks like your passenger would agree.

 

Finally received my TRD Skid Plate. Delayed by 4 days because of "Civil Unrest". Decided to paint it matte black and keep the red letters. Previous user stated they look great, just have to get low to admire it. Bought it for the access opening for the oil filter changes.

 

I hate it when the passenger reaches over the steering wheel while I'm driving

 

Maybe an hour. Hardest part was running the wire through the rubber grommets to go from the door to the truck.

 

Gotcha. Getting an alignment right now. When I get home I'll take a few pics and show you where I ran the wiring for my hidden light bar to a switch in my dash. You could do the same for the raptor lights.

 

Beautiful Taco
