What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

?

 

I agree with you.

I live in the middle of what is considered to be one of the best white tail hunting areas in the south east US. Folks seriously travel from all over the world to come hunt here. I'm from Tennessee and I thought the big bucks were thick there, but down here big deer are almost a nuisance. I've never seen anything like it.

Most of the year it's dark when I go to work and dark when I come home.....so I may be fighting a losing battle.

 

whoa!

 

I got mine last month and have taken it out twice so far. I love mine. That light suppression tech is amazing! It's like a damn cave in there.

 

Great job, these look great on your truck.

I want to add these to my 2020 Off-Road, but I’m concerned about removing the odd shaped factory hook on the passenger side of the vehicle. Question-is it gonna weaken anything when you remove the two long bolts that holds the OEM hook in place, since those don’t get re-used?

 

Looks good! I saw a similiar SR5 blacked out grill for sale on FB Marketplace and had considered it but decided I preferred the pro grill. It looks awesome tho and different from the typical pro grill, but retains the TSS

 

I'm looking forward to your update. I was just looking at these as a way to attach front recovery points on my SR5, seems pretty reasonable cost wise if they do the trick I. Does anyone else have any experience with these Demon Brackets and can chime in??

 

Nah, that will buff right out.

Hope everyone is okay!

 

Worth a try but slowing down especially when it's dark out...... and being wary is your best bet.
Be careful, be safe and just use common sense. We're all susceptible especially during the rut when they get squirrly. Good luck!

 

I have seen Taco drivers added those on theirs.. I don't see a problem so far. And I have seen drivers added metal bumpers with recovery points. I am planning to add metal bumper on mine someday. I am considering to add demon brackets if I want them right away since it's cheap, then I can buy and use them, that way, I can save up for metal bumper so I don't have to worry about waiting.

 

so, first conundrum..and Im kicking myself already, plz be kind.

went to do a/c drain thing (bought truck a month ago, or so)
the one off security lug..
and nut..
can't get grip.

This is a certified toyota..
Would the dealership work with me?
This is not a good thing, especially with my work sched..
Ive left a message with the SvcMgr where bought, but they're an hour away and I have one close by..

Not sure how this will play out.

Anyone had to remove those things without a key before?

talk about a kick in the..

 

There's a tool for just this problem. Works kinda like an easyout but in socket form. Gotta use an impact wrench for it to work. and it does work like a charm.

thx very much

 

Spotter Mirrors (https://spottermirror.com/p/toyota/2016-2020-tacoma-2014-2020-4runner/) I just added both driver and passenger side to my truck as well. Pricier than the Rav4 mirror swap. But, work great so far in reclaiming some visibility after adding a topper to the bed.

 

It appears that someone has over torqued the lock nut most likely from using an impact wrench. The dealership should have noticed this when it was safetied and replaced IMO. See if they will replace them or at least remove the lock nuts. Then I would buy another set for sure but not necessarily from Toyota unless they offered for free.

 

Installed the Garmin Dashcam Mini today - quick and easy. Despite seeing pictures before, I was surprised at how small it is. Tucks nicely behind the rear view mirror.

 

Nope, not totaled. Around 8k in damage and 3-4 weeks to repair assuming the passenger door and hood are untouched. Source: I'm currently living this same damage. See my last post.

 

I have had that happened to me in Utah which I was there for Final Four. Hit my left side fender of my car and scratched on my roof by the antlers. That suicidal fucker!

I was on the road and noticed the deer walking and noticed me coming and it stopped. So I got moving... but that fucker started running and BAM! I was like WTH? It flew over my roof. I was glad it didn't hit my windshield. Whew.

 

We have that same tent! Man the black out fabric is no joke. It's daaarrrrrkkk in there

 

Can it be quickly removed for parking in sketchy areas? Do you see it from the drivers seat? It looks like it tucks in behind the mirror nicely.
