What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks again. Does the view from your back-up camera still look okay at night?

 

Finally got around to installing the TRD PRO Grille on the TACO and upgraded the front-facing camera as well. I get a better view in low light with this camera. Also went with the Falken
265/70R17. I am now out of mods

 

Pm me, I’ll give two to you if you pay shipping

 

I've got low profile brackets with BD S1 pods, and i use them daily (mostly for deer/bunny avoidance). Hell I use them so much I'm thinking of moving the switch from the dash to the shifter or just slaving them to the high beam relay

 

this is exactly why I want ditch lights as well...which actual lights and color do you have?

which bumper is that? looks great!

 

Has anyone with tint for 1+ year had any issues with peeling near the frit on windshield/access cab windows?

It'd be cool if tint could hang on to that (/smooth it out), which'd allow the dash cam could move up a few inches.

 

Added these TRD stickers to the headlights. They look good at night.

 

Thanks. It's the Body Armor TC-19338

 

I went with these and as far as led colour they’re white. I have amber covers for crap weather but they cut output in half. I’ve now acquired a dual colour light bar and the white side of it fills the Center between the ditch lights very well and shoots father, much farther than my high beams. And the amber half of it has a lot more output than the side shooters with covers on but not the ditch coverage they have, I further plan on adding a set of amber driving pods to the bumper which won’t get as down into the ditches as the actual ditch lights but at least all have more light heading over that way. So I have the light bar + pods in amber as well as the ditch lights with amber covers if I’m really worried about their being deer in a snow storm but I’m not.

 

If anyone’s reading all that and thinking or wondering does a person really need all that lighting for a moose or deer?? The answer is yes, up here in moose country we certainly do! Their big ass animals but their coats are oily and absorb light instead of reflecting it, their eyes do t reflect light like a deer’s either. This was in the early hours of the morning in a 10km long straight away.

 

Well, what I didn’t do to my Tacoma was get it scheduled for an oil change. They are 2 weeks out, for an oil change. WTF. Dealership said they are low on staff and mechanics, and if I did come in and wait on it I may wait for hours as the wait times are super long. DIY this coming weekend then. I’m at 30,000 miles almost

 

Having almost nailed a moose a couple years ago during a road trip, it's reassuring to learn they're basically vantablack and I'm not blind.

 

I installed these units at a lesser cost.

Got the rest of my components in for the rear suspension build!

 

there was a picture to go with that but it didn’t upload, here we go.

 

I'm going to go broke going down this mod rabbit hole.

 

yeah I wanted lights that are brighter than my headlights.

 

Just call my truck Jane Jetson

 

Update to local dealer maintenance; took about an hour and half for an oil change, rotation and filter change and came out to $140 w/ a multipoint inspection. This was my first time taking my Tacoma to the dealer, can anyone chime in their thoughts on the price?
I turned down their whole fluid flush and tire balancing year 2 tune up for $600

 

Skipping the filters and doing those yourself will shave $50 off that visit. Oem engine air and cabin air filters aren't cheap.
