What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice! And plus one for SnugTop!

 

Sounds like date night

 

Looks like a short screw. I would go somewhere that can patch tires from the inside of the tire and pull the screw in the parking lot. Have some bottled soapy water with you to pour on the screw location. I wouldn't stick a plug in it unless I was forced to.

 

Bought metal to start fabrication on my bed stiffeners. Just couldn't see paying 150$+ for something I can weld up on my breaks at work

 

I installed the OEM remote tailgate lock assembly. Got it for $136 at my local dealer and install was pretty straight forward. I would not say it was super easy, but certainly within the capability of anyone not afraid of a little DIY. The best part is the plug and play wiring harness. And no more "did I remember to lock the damn tailgate" tremors for this guy!

 

That tire with the screw is the perfect candidate for a tire plug repair.

Also, screw out that screw, you should easily be able to get a cross tip on it. Just don't yank it out. Less damage to the tire carcass.

 

What is the part number, if you still have it?

 

Of the few I've had patched over the years I recall them being plugged and then also patched from the inside. I'd probably do that and swap it with the full size spare if available until I could replace it with a new tire. Some climates are harder on tires than others and I don't like running patched tires in the AZ summer heat.

 

That would be a "studded snow grip" in my area! ;-)

 

Damn you. I just put those same tail lights on...now you make me want to get the Meso stage 1 too!

 

I have a short bed OR, so the part number is

$162 PK3B635JS0 Toyota Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Short Wheelbase Tailgate Lock (PK3B6-35JS0)

PK3B635JS0. They also have one for the LB trucks but I don't have that number handy.

 

For my 2019 DCLB: Amazon:

$163 Toyota Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Long Wheelbase Tailgate Lock PK3B6-35JL0

Before...



After...

 

Installed the TRD Pro style grille. Sure, a little played out, but really, the way it should have come from the factory.

 

doooooo it! The LED lights look so much better than the standard halogen bulbs.

 

They don't even take welding from what I see. More like "cut and shut" on some 1-1/2 " angle.

 

Installed a TRD air flow accelerator and a TRD air filter. Small upgrades but exciting!

 

WOW...better than showroom finish man - nice.
