What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thank you! I have a Leitner ACS forged rack, it doesn’t hang over at all.

 

what is the difference between the new mirror and the one that came with the truck?

 

Well if his was like mine, the Homelink. I replaced my mirror with one of those Gentex with Homelink from Bob's Mirrors and set it up to work with ignition on only so someone can't just break in and open my garage like with the old remote. Cleaner looking too.

 

Bed step was the best option i added when I ordered the truck.

 

Moved into our new house. Finally have a garage for the Taco. Hoping it still fits after the lift and tires or I may be digging out the ground in front of it.

 

very nice. That overhang (front side or backside) has been one of my concerns. You’ve got a great setup. Thanks for sharing!

 

Looks awesome. This is definitely in my future. What rack mounted shower is that?

Nice. Thanks. Way cheaper than the road shower. I brought a cheap solar shower to the beach this weekend for my family, and they loved it. I want to upgrade to a roof mounted one, and this one may be it. Thanks.

 

Installed the Truxsport tonneau cover. Easy install and bed is dry after an overnight rain.

 

Congratulations on the new home and taco shell-ter!

 

Exactly what @Doc62 said. Added Homelink. It was a gift from my dad. He has a 2018 TRD Sport and my brother-in-law has a 2016 TRD OR, so buying Taco parts for each other has become a thing... No complaints here!

 

This is it, I think. https://tinyurl.com/Gentex-Homelink-Mirror

It was a gift, so I'm not 100%.

 

Installed a flat splicer

 

Well yesterday re-installed JBA UCA's due to powder coating flaws and also found the ball joint boots were trashed. I had a nice talk with JBA when getting the RMA replaced and found out about the boot issues they were having. My replacements came with the OEM boots and washer spacers. Moar things on their way

 

I could be wrong... but I don't think you're supposed to use the washers under that style of ball joint boot...

 

Well per the instructions and explanation I was given. I was told that the longer boot JBA developed has had production quality issues causing them to fail so the are using the short OEM boot. https://support.jbaoffroad.com/faq/why-2-washers-on-the-ball-joint

EDIT: I believe this is the way they were sold originally prior to designing their own longer boot.

 

Gotcha. I have a set of replacement ball joints... but apparently I have version 2, and they're now on version 3.

 

This it the thread where I first found out about the boot failures. Mine were completely split after 2 months of non-offroad use.

I got mine from Bob at https://www.bobsmirrors.com/
he also has the adapter you may need for power on the new 3rd gens. I used the adapter to make sure the power was off to the Homelink when the vehicle was off.
