What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This is my dashboard buddy.

 

Replacement under warranty is definitely the way to go My '16 was too old

 

Nice! Was your loan for 36 months?

 

New suspension. Who dis?

 

Added some Diode Dynamics SL1 H11's in my low beams. Incredible change for a pretty low price.

 

I felt the horn on the Tacoma could use a little help...

So I installed a little 26" horn. Black so it blends in...

https://vixenhorns.com/product/vixen-horns-vxh1168b-semi-truck-single-air-horn-black/


Installed the 3/8 double flared copper lines from the compressor to the manifold and then to the horn...

the 2 RH pieces of tubing coming out of the manifold are just there to seal it off until I run the lines to the air tank with a drain, and the air hose connector.


Will paint the copper and brass fittings black so it looks more "factory" as well as the white padding in the front trumpet mount.

It's fed from an ARB twin compressor so even though it starts out at 150psi the pressure drops off quick without an air tank.

Even without the air tank installed and the weathershield on,
it is very loud similar to a truck / barge type level sound.

Standing in front of the truck and testing it with ear muffs on,
I could feel my lungs rattling in my chest for the first second.
From inside the cab the sound was muffled quite a bit ,and it was comfortable on the ears without ear muffs. Sound level was like a Semi blowing their horn beside you.

No extra holes were added/drilled, Used Unistrut for the bracket on the left side holding the horn base at the back, and a 90deg bracket on the trumpet base that goes to a rad support hole.

 

Uh oh. That’s gonna be a hefty late fee from that due date. Y2K!

 

Purchased and installed the TRD wheels. I'm not a fan of the newer look.

 

Update to previous post with missing pictures

I used a 4x4 as a spacer to not cover the vents and still strap it in (again as a temp solution)




The purple cushion (bleacher size)

 

I sold it for 2K more than I bought it for. I gave it a year, but it never really grew on me. I am in no hurry to get another 4x4 just yet, since I am getting ready to send my daughter off to college, but I will be looking a little further down the road. Haven't decided if I want a full time driver, or a older beater only for trail duty. Either way, it should be fun.

Take care, all.

 

I have the same tires in E loads. Was a little apprehensive about running Es, but about 5000 miles later, I don't regret getting them. Pretty good on and off road.

 

Nope - I keep looking for his wit and wisdom...his profile page says that he was last seen on TW on March 3, 2021...

 

Looks great!

 

I popped in the TRD Intake Flow Accelerator to see if it makes any difference. Easy swap - takes no more than 10 minutes including grabbing and putting away the ratchet and a 10mm and 12mm socket.

 

I just ordered one of these also!
Interested to hear your thoughts.

 

WELCOME to freedom my man. I wish we had some type of cultural exchange program, where the people who whine about the U.S. could trade places with people from the countries they wish we were like. I mean trade everything, home, job (if they even have one), education - EVERYTHING. I for one, don't need to taste a shit sandwich to know it's shitty and don't want any part of it. Thus endeth sermon.

 

sexy

 

Curious to hear the results. Gonna dyno, or just "feel" it?

 

I'm just going to feel/watch it. Some people say it provides a minimal mileage improvement and a little acceleration boost. For $34 I figured I'd give it a try.

 

finally installed my freshly fully polished Andersen hitch. Had a good friend of mine put his skills on this hitch.
