What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Now I can finally justify scrolling this forum for hours! ‘21 DCLB is mine. I’m in love! What should I do first???

 

At Serra Toyota in Decatur Alabama this morning. Getting fuel pump recall done. Just bought the truck used a month ago. And got notice that is was never done. While I’m here they are going to attempt my wheels and we will see what happens. Btw they have 4 new Tacoma’s here that are for sale. Not on hold. All 4 2wd drive couple sr5s a xp and a sport. The xp is army green and it’s super sharp

 

Sell it for $4000 more than you paid

 

Haha. My lady would kill me.. I was so stressed out for the last 6 weeks waiting/looking. But it def crossed my mind

 

put on a Westcott Designs 1.5 lft/ leaving kit some 285/70/17 yoko geolandar X-ATs and 17in 4runner pro wheels

 

Thanks for that. If you've ever seen the posts on here from people with a leaky third-tail light, and all the mildew that appears, that's my fear. I might put a bead of silicone around it until I figure out what to do.

 

what brand and size did you go with and how is the light output?

 

Bilstein 6112 coilovers (set at 4/5)

Bilstein 5160 rear shocks

Spc upper control arms

Deaver u402 stage 1 leafs


17x8 -10 offset

FN Countersteer type X


BFG KO2 285/70 17

 

What about that urethane stuff they use to mount windshields?

 

How does it look during the day with the lights off?

 

Thanks for the install tip and the recommendation. I just ordered the DIR harness and the lights.
Question- do you think the new connection with these new LED pods offer the same amount of water proofing as the OEM connector? Or should we maybe add electrical tape or heat shrink tubing?

 

Toyota dealership says they put those wheels in all the time and have no issues. No telling what they are charging me to do it though.

 

I've been thinking I should either pull off the black Tacoma overlays, or switch the TRD emblems to black! Looks mismatched as is imho. Where did you get the black ones? They look great!

Nice im looking to get the 6112/5160 also with maybe icon pack in the rear. I current have 17x8.5 +0 black rhino stadium on 265/70/17. Did you get the ecgs bushing done? Any vibrations?

 

That's a beautiful truck. Nice work. And thanks for what you do. I appreciate it.

Yes I was just kidding. I sold my 2016 after owning it 5.5 years. Got exactly what I paid new. Not many vehicles that you can drive free for 5.5 years. I bet you won't see that on a Colorado forum. Good luck with the new truck. I really enjoyed mine but simply didn't drive it much. Sold it and took 1/2 the money, bought a 2012 Tacoma, and splurged on a few mods. Still ahead by $16k and have all I need for occasional use. May reconsider when the 4th gen comes out depending on the changes they make. As long as I have any Tacoma I am a happy camper.

 

I think it is probably fine - haven't heard anyone posting issues. But, I think I will probably add some tape to mine just in case.

 

@Tullie D 's method makes it so easy to pull the lights. The Morimotos are a little tighter but it still works. Pulled mine and added some electrical tape around the connection just in case. 5 minute job.

 

Just connecting the canopy interior and 3rd brake lights today, after buying a jumper from @Puppypunter

 

No, I didn’t get the ecgs bushing done. No vibrations at all. Truck feels solid, although, it’s only be one day!
