What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah, our navy could use a little help, not what it was in WWII, however I wouldn't want to mess with the bunch in JTF2, those guys are bad MF'S!!

 

I hear you get snacks!

 

'19 here. Can confirm.

SR5

 

I also have a 2019 SR5 and also confirm that it works.

 

Good morning all.
i bought my tacoma used back in may, and the truck is currently at 90k miles. I finally got a detailed inspection done by toyota today. Some of this I feel confident enough to do my self (spark plugs, rotors) and some of this I dont care that much about (mirrors). I am curious if y'all have any tips or opinions on any of the other recommendations. Should they all be done? Are any of them easy enough to do myself? Are any serious enough that I should get done asap?



Edit: the ATF seems pretty important and it is currently shifting a little hard

 

Dealerships love to tell you to do stuff you don't need. Are your brakes functioning the way they should? 350 for rotors is high anyway but usually they just warp. I don't know what they mean by pitting but I'll call bs. Some people recommend swapping the power steering fluid and others don't. All you do is suck it out and pour more in. Repeat after driving until its clean.

 

Save yourself money and do it yourself.

yeah the brakes seem to be working fine. i have had no shuttering or shaking.

 

thanks! I will look into this. :face_palm: i dont know why i didnt think of looking that up

 

I try to avoid dealership unless I’m purchasing a new vehicle or I need warranty work performed.

 

I hear ya I get on 2 times a day around 0430 ( for you military guys lol Thank you for your service) that's 4:30 for the rest of us LOL and around 5 pm or a little later my wife just rolls her eyes lol said if I have to spend that much time on my yoda maybe I should sleep in her so I stay in the garage LMAO

 

After removing a trim piece, I look for any signs of rubbing on the plastic -- usually white dust or just some irritated looking plastic.
As for the glovebox organizer, I just covered contact points

 

Removethat sport air dam now!! Lol
Tools needed.... see below

find a used Trd sport skid on EBay or on Facebook marketplace. I scored one for $20 and the painter at work went to town!

Add a $6 Trd horn sticker from eBay and... bam









Lol

 

I’m installing the static climbing bags today for the same water bottle! Just got delivered a couple days ago. Check em out! Taylor has the best customer service ever, she lets you fully customize, sews them by hand, and you get to help out a small business in a crazy time.

 

Yesterday finished the install on the retrofitted BHLM headlights (Morimoto BiLED MLED 2.0 Projectors, Diode Dynamics DRL Switchbacks, and custom amber turn signal cover) from Kevin (no vtech for me). Meso Customs trim plates did wonders on giving the front a sleek style. Today just had the new 2020 Tacoma Pro wheels mounted on my 265/75R16 Falken Wildpeaks AT3Ws. Removed the OEM TRD OR decals, but I’m replacing them with matte black decals later today.

 

So I found out last month there is a accessory that allows you to lock & unlock your tail gate with the remote on the 19/20 Tacoma’s only from Toyota parts Dept.so I had it installed a few weeks ago love it.now when I unlock the doors & lock the doors they tail gate locks & unlocks at the same time cost wasn’t Bad less than $200 for the kit & a hour in a half for Toyota service to install it.FYi

 

YEs the oem tailigate lock, I got my 20 trd sport in may and installed that a few weeks later. It was easy with the directions someone uploaded on here from dealer.

 

with all your blue in your truck you should look at adding these blue lights to your inner door handle area...
