What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Didn’t install this stuff today, but here’s what I’ve put on lately….

Hood struts


N-Fab Sliders with Removable Steps


Caliraised LED Ditch Lights


Cellphone Mount

 

Nice, I need to get some of these. Where did you end up finding these particular ones? How are they holding up?

 

If they don't bolt to the frame then they are just steps, not sliders.

 

What key fob is this?

 

Meso Customs Minimalist Key Fob
https://www.tacomalifestyle.com/collections/3rd-gen-tacoma/products/meso-customs-minimalist-key-fob

but note that it doesn't have a slot for the actual key !

 

Yeah, I used to go to one just like this in Rocklin Ca 40 years ago. They all went bye-bye or mashed up with KFC and went to factory rootbeer. When I moved out here, i was thrilled to see an original drive in and rootbeer made in the restaraunt.

 

true. I was just going by the description pf them. Not that I really will ever use them as sliders.

 

Some quick pics before heading to work today.

Raptor lights - used the DRL harness from running4tacos for plug & play, and the lights stay on with DRL

24 black decals + center cap TRD stickers later I'm really happy with the way my stock rims turned out (black lugs coming in tomorrow)
hoping to get a proper lift + wheels in the future

Got AJT key fob so that it'd hold the actual key as well.
i actually like these more than the meso ones since the buttons are from OEM key and fits/feels a lot better.

cheers !

 

Links to the sliders and the phone mount? TIA

 

Got 2 new morale patches for the headliner from Big Muddy Patches. They haven't done a license plate for PA yet but I just can't pass on the humor of the Idaho plate.

 

E break swap

 

the hood struts should make it easier to clean the engine bay now - jk

 

4 wheel parts gets a massive thumbs up from me for one reason alone right now. They send you PRINTED instructions with photos. Im sick of not getting instructions for certain things or only being able to watch an instillation video online. I dont want to constantly stop and watch a frigging video.
The instructions are for the bed stiffeners,just in case id need them for my super pacific. What a cheap thrill it was to get instructions.

 

Where did you get that wheel black out kit at? The one I got didn't quite cover all the silver. Looks good from afar, but you know...

 

Today’s mail call.

Now just have to find time to install.

 

Reputable places often offer a lifetime warranty on some of their tint. Mine warranties my ceramic tint for life against fading, bubbling, peeling, cracking etc.

 

Thanks for the post. I have a 2019 Tacoma and this leak issue is bugging the heck out of me. I searched the web and it seems like the majority of Tacoma owners have the same issue. I already tried to adjust the AC from full recirculate to fresh air and adjust the temperature to mid-hot and cold. All with the same results. I drove cross country and I always get this leak. It is frustrating.

I highly recommend that all of us Tacoma owners that have this issue contact Toyota, so that Toyota can investigate this AC condensation leak. If we have a lot of Tacoma owners submit a recall/limited service campaign. Toyota may do something about this leak. Please submit a recall/service campaign to https://www.toyota.com/owners. Thank you all.

I searched for recall and I found this:

Not done today but pretty recently, added a velcro holster on the driver's side along with a small modification so the spare mag does not slide out. Puts it within arm's reach and seems to hold it in place rather well. I also took an extra pic of the Taco for the hell of it

 

I was supposed to hear from a caseworker yesterday but that did not happen. I emailed them back today asking where was my call? The above recall was for the 3rd brake light leak.

 

lol! i did the same thing.. ordered the 2016-2019 decals off Ebay but didn't fit (shouldve researched first)

so i just ordered correct 2020-2021 off empyre
https://empyreoffroad.com/collectio...ota-tacoma-off-road-wheel-decals-blackout-kit

these decals are larger so they definitely go over the chrome and some more
