What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Took it to the dealership to get inspected for potential frame rust recall / service campaign. I also told them that I was missing one clip for the liner under the hood.

They told me the frame was fine and said that they put a clip in the missing spot for the liner.

Came home (65 miles later from the dealership I bought the truck out) popped the hood AND it seems they didn’t put in a clip but instead left the whole liner piece missing.

Anyone know a part # for this? I already called the dealership and they said they had to check the cameras etc. AND if they can’t find it they’ll have to order a new part.

TGIF. Sorry for the rant. Part # would be much appreciated!

 

Relay switch installed today. Missile system to be installed next week. Pics to follow.

 

They need to make a smaller version of this, so it fits with the cover closed. The cover becomes a guard.

 

What's this liner piece you're talking about?

 

Yep, thats a bummer. At least you made your experience known so potential future buyers will be aware. Hopefully they get you sorted out quickly.

 

Wow that’s legit patience. Have you considered the OEM option? I’m super happy with mine. Maybe a big cost difference?

 

It was $400 to get them done, about average I think for SoCal.

 

I got the regular blue and the sticker looks like yours.

 

umm, what's your address again?

 

Got the 8" replicas on today wrapped in Falken A/T3 285/70/17s. Boy does it look good!

 

yea I'm having problem with them also, sent me the wrong harness for the passenger door and can't seem to get the right harness, She gave me a return credit of $3.17 (WTF) I want the harness so I have drivers side works passenger side don't. But the idea is great lol hope they get their shit together

 

Converted to a passenger vehicle today with plates

 

New shoes today, general grabber a/tx 285s

 

What did I do to my 3rd gen today? I got totally frustrated with a relatively simple mod that wasn't. I bought a used set of the TRD Pro coilovers and tried to install them on my 2016 Tacoma. The Pro did not come out till the 2017 model year so there must have been a minor change since I have seen others do this mod but their trucks were 2017 or newer. The holes on the LCA for the bottom of the shock were a 1/4 inch off and I had to make a minor adjustment. Unfortunately, before doing that I tried using some gentle persuasion with a hammer with too much emphasis on the persuasion and not enough on the gentle. I stripped the main bolt that connects bottom of the shock to the LCA and had to order a new one. Now I hope to finish it up on Monday.

I never plan on going off road, at least on purpose. The reasons for wanting this are first, they fix the Taco rake and lean i.e. pitch and roll in aviation terms. Second, they are rebuildable so they will not have to be purchased again and it will save a little money. Third, the red coils add a little bling and go nicely with my Wilwood BBK calipers. Finally, almost everything I have read says that they provide a little nicer ride.

 

Love your profile pic, lol.

 

Overnight parts from Japan? What that cost you? 15 grand?

 

Hope it all goes better on Monday. I think you'll like the way it rides a lot.

 

do any trimming? Lift?

 

You guys have talked me out of the door bowl lights for the time being. I can't stand sloppy shipping and poor communication.
