What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm showing my age with this, but:

 

Love that movie!

 

My dad and I could watch this end-on-end and still laugh at the same stuff every single time. Part 2 and 3 were pretty good. But the original one was the best.

 

Finally installed my switch for the LED light bar behind the grille from caliraised led. I thought I would have to pull apart the whole dash but the little cubby simply comes out with a slight pull.


Installed the interior molle panel from victory 4x4. Took about 3weeks to get here. Solid product.


Lastly, installed lockerdown safe in the center console. Install is smooth with two bolts. The only minor negative aspect is the inside of it scuffs/scratches easily. I appreciate the little cut out which makes the interior usb ports still accessible for use.

 

Same with Airplane!

 

Surely you can’t be serious?


Really bad few days at work caused me to get about 20 pages behind on here. Finally able to get back to the thread looking for a pick-me-up just to find out about @Tully-D Very sad I can’t remember how many times his posts helped me out or simply gave me a much needed smile. You and blue will be missed here.

 

Used provided hs ubolts? If you remember my issue, do you recall any gap on the ubolts (just contacts the edges) and did you use factory bumps or install the sumos (I thought you mentioned)?

 

Question about OEM door sill protector...is there a TRD Pro specific one?

I am confused because if I see it as an add on the sticker the price is $79 but if I look up the part itself it seems to be like $40ish...

 

I don't think there is a specific one for "TRD," it's (more or less) universal for all the Tacomas. They just say "Tacoma" on them.

 

Okay thats what I was thinking...so I am assuming the higher cost on the Window Sticker add in comparison to just the part itself is because they add labor cost with it??

 

Probably. It's something you can do yourself in less than an hour.

These were some I bought off Amazon (OEM ones):

$45 Genuine Toyota Parts - Door Sill Dcab Taco (PT747-35201-02), Black

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082XHQFKZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I had it installed while I was working. I’ll take a look at it in the morning and let you know. I left the stock bumps in vs. sumos.

 

I use that line at work all the time!

 

My 2017 TRD OR access cab came with the door sill protectors. Is this not standard?

 

Got my sema wheels delivered today.
Such a beautiful wheel.
I actually bought these in June 2020 for my 2016 taco.... then my truck was totaled at the end of July 2020.
Been slowly getting back to normal and feel like I got a part of myself back by getting these wheels for my 2019 taco.
Now, I'm on the hunt for wildpeaks for the best price possible, as they've gone up quite a bit since I bought a set for the 2016 back in June.
So far, best price delivered I've found is $620...
Either way.. super stoked to have these, can't wait to get on the truck and restore some normalcy to my life.

Wear your seatbelt yall

 

I don't believe it is standard. Check your Window Sticker. It should be listed there as an option. Unless it was different back in 2017

 

Actually, I identify as male, oh wait......

 

This is absolutely not true. When bored read up on this.
"The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits product manufacturers from conditioning consumer warranties on the use of any original equipment part or service. Furthermore, a manufacturer can only deny warranty coverage if it can demonstrate that a non-original equipment part or related service caused a defect to occur in the original product. In the case of motor vehicles, new car manufacturers have ignored these conditions outlined in Magnuson-Moss and have misled consumers to believe that they must have dealer service shops install only original equipment replacement parts or fear having their new car warranty voided."
Basically they have to prove that your mod caused the problem that you are seeking warranty service for. My truck is modded and I've had no issues receiving warranty coverage.

 

There is a new and old version, the difference being that the new is longer/bigger covering more real estate (maybe not by a huge amount but bigger nonetheless)
New-top
Old-bottom
