What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No sh*t, I got (11) pages to go myself. It's hard to explain to the Mrs. that I have an on line presence Honey and I got to keep up with the pages or it takes too long to get caught up as I really don't want to miss anything. I been doing this lurking on here since about 2007. I have subscribed to a few You Tube Channels and get new videos from them to watch through the week as well. Such very good entertainment though and the knowledge I have gained from this forum is priceless.

 

Now if you have the Kicker 2way in the rear, you will have 8 tweeters in the cab! Can never be too high.


Also, some nice things came in the mail.


Now I just need to wait for the passenger side to come in....
And the harness...

 

Tortoise...Tortoise...

Unless of course we want to submerge our trucks in water...

 

Same with my family. Since I work for the local city PD, all our times are military as well. My phone, watch, computer, time in my truck...all set to military time. Saying that, when I have to sign off on traffic tickets, they usually don't like military time to be used. They prefer civilian time (is that such a thing??). I usually just put the time as the military time and then circle the "am/pm" so the dummies in the court dept. know what the hell I signed the tickets.

 

Man, that looks freaking awesome! Def on my "to do" list. I take it that paint can be found at local hardware store or Lowe's/Home Depot?

 

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.
