What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

May or may not be your rattle, mine were the covers for the dash speakers (mainly the passenger side). I pulled them and added some more foam to the trim ring and no more rattle for me!

 

How did you tighten the nut on the bulkhead side. Can't reach it?

The big rubber washer on the other side is enough so that it doesn't spin. It wasn't a problem

 

I have these ones here:

$65 Auto Ventshade [AVS] In-Channel Ventvisor / Rain Guards | Fits 2016 - 2023 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab- Smoke, 4 pc. | 194768

Haven't had any LOS issues with these at all.

 

Not necessarily, problem with this approach will likely lead to rubbing when tucked/turned. This is why I opted to remove mine.

 

I have rattles in the passenger dash speaker cover and my driver door window switches. Once it warms up I'll take it apart and add some friction tape.

 

I got a rattle on my 2020 driver's side. Very well may be the dash speaker something as it seems to come from that area. I'll have to check that out. How does that speaker grill get removed?

 

This is perfect man. really appreciate it!

 

I love that bed rack. Is that steel or aluminum?
ive been looking at getting the basic CBI overland bed bars, but this RCI has me double taking.
Anyone have any comps between those? Just looking to do some light offroad camping with a RTT.

 

My son and I kayak Ft D. Lots of nice little coves for fishing.

 

Im not sure why you think new bolts will solve the problem. If they forced an incorrect thread in there, it won’t be correct unless they replace what those bolts thread into.

 

The holders are quick fist mounts and the "bracket" is a couple of pieces of slotted steel from Home Depot that I cut and bent. I got the t-bolts off Amazon

 

I purchased a set of flat flexible ones like Rokblokz but less expensive on E-bay. The mud and snow just falls off with a little kick.

 

SO:
The BAD news is the Arctec A arm skids are not compatible with the M.O.R.E. skidplate. The main skidplate already protects the inboard pivots of the A arm (great design) but has massive interference with the Artec product.

The GOOD NEWS is that I just got off the phone with Steve at MORE and it just so happens that they just started making A arms...and are just now (today) getting them up on their website. I just put my order in for a pair! Problem solved, just have to get the RA for the Artec's and ship them back...

There's a "That's what she said" joke there somewhere....

 

I have cousins in South Texas where I'm from. Trust me, they are doing that exact thing right now, while reevaluating how cool of an idea those windmills were...

 

Yea, I've heard that joke.

 

Although renewable energy sources did partially fail, they only contributed to 13 percent of the power outages, while providing about a quarter of the state’s energy in winter. Thermal sources, including coal, gas and nuclear, lost almost twice as many gigawatts of power because of the cold, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), the state’s electric grid operator. Critics have also noted that wind turbines can operate in climates as cold as Greenland if they’re properly prepared for the weather.

The grid in Texas was asked to deal with something greater than the max power normally used to cool from 105F to 75F, but a 60F adjustment because it's so cold was just too much.

I feel bad for what's happening down there. Hope the weather turns soon. It's a part of normal winter life up here. These GY Ultraterrains did pretty good today.

I got this email message too!

I called the Service department to explain to them what took place and maybe some training needs to happen. The service person apologized and the service dept manager would be calling back to 'Make This Right'. Just got off the phone with dept manager. Just so happened, he was a salesperson back in '11 who sold me my Gen 2. He said to come by and they would replace the screws/ or give me the screws. My choice. He also stated that he would bring a new PRO skid plate to the back and show them the correct way to install the access plate to the oil filter.
