What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

When I google replacement knobs for a 2020 Tacoma they all say fits 2016-2019. Is the 2020 radio knob shaft a different size?

 

I believe they are. I know that the RAV4 knobs I put on my 2020 won't fit the '19s.

 

Finally began the chrome delete process. Started with grill.

 

Thanks

 

Looks good! Rattle can?

 

I installed a Toytec diff drop yesterday and torqued up all the nuts and bolts related to my Old Man Emu lift hoping to get rid of a vibration when I slow down my truck. It helped but I still get a vibration when I am almost fully stopped. At least it doesn't vibrate as much when I just let off the gas. Hopefully this will settle down and the vibration will go away. I think I may just need another alignment. Not sure how good a job they did the first time.

 

Just curious if you replaced the needle bearing in the front diff with the ecgs bushing.

 

No I did not. I will research that. Thanks for the input.

 

Damn, That looks good!

I did mine almost 5 years ago before there was a pro grille. Mine looked okay at first but after rock chips and hand washing it a few times, it turned to crap for me. Might have been a poor / impatient job on my part? God job though

 

You are correct. I jumped the gun and discovered after purchase that they done fit in my 2017.

 

No problem

No problem, and it’s very possible that’s not where the vibes are coming from, just a good place to start imo. Edit: Could also be carrier bearing needs shimming too, forgot to mention. Just depends on what kind of vibration and where.

Definitely a good sign!

 

How much lift do you have? Just out of curiosity; I’m just doing my research before I begin ordering suspension components so I do it right the first time. My ‘17 was rwd so the Billstein 5100’s with OME 887’s weren’t an issue. On my new taco however, being 4wd I don’t want to have any issues off roading.

 

Looks pretty close to my grill.

 

Nice-looking truck.

 

Did you get the Rav4 knobs? If so, they'll fit my 2020 and I can buy 'em off you...

 

Had a buddy build some brackets. Had a few spares and figured a beer holder can't be a bad thing around the box of the truck... We got our wires crossed on measurements somehow and the base ended up being a bit too long. Either I leave them as is on a slight angle or I'll eventually get to fixing that. Also made a tool/screw/socket holder using a heavy duty magnet.

 

If you have not dropped your carrier bearing at all that could be your source. If you have lifted to the point you thought you needed a diff drop, you probably should drop your carrier bearing a little. Pretty simple process. Just need some fat washers and extended bolts. There are also kits littered around the internet for it.

 

Sorry, guy from TX already jumped on it and in the mail.

 

Nice write up, thanks!
