What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Chin strap, no chin strap...and decided to start organizing a little instead of having crap in numerous places throughout the house and garage. Still have a long way to go.... lol

 

I used a dab of Orange Permatex.

$11 Permatex 25210 High Strength Removable Threadlocker Orange Liquid, 10 ml

Got sick of the ugly stock battery and tie down, truck is 2 years old and some people here have had battery failures so I figured I’d make a little project out of it.

Duracell AGM from Batteries Plus.
TRD tie down from @Coupe
Billet terminals from @SDHQ OFFROAD

 

Have you decided upon a method of fully charging the AGM battery? I have consider getting a similar battery, but don't know how I would keep it topped off.

 

Replaced the rear bumper cover / end cap. I couldn’t find a very detailed video so I made one.

 

Yes, it's an adjustable setting into the OVTune/KDMax.

 

Thanks for the update! I appreciate it

 

I’m more of a pro. I do about 75-80 nitrogen in all my tires with a mix of other gases. I’ll share my secret if you PayPal me money.

edit: beat! Someone already ruined my fun.

 

It rained this morning and it looks to work well. Most other products would have ran.

 

I already did it about a year ago cuz it was rattling against my rear anti-sway bar.

 

put 3 more holes in the box of my truck LOL. installed the snaps for the front panel of my SofTopper. Next job is to get a couple crimps so I can run the bedlight that's at the front of the bed up and put it on one of the Softopper rails, assuming I can get it unstuck without damaging it.

 

Bought a factory drivers side storage compartment last week out of a junk yard and got it installed with some U-clips.

 

I'm in SoCal. Guy in my condo complex got his 3rd gen Tacoma cat stolen (just one of the two downstream ones). In California, you have to replace stolen cats with an OEM one. Current backorder is 4+ weeks. Since a police report was made, he can technically still drive the truck until the new OEM one arrives, but it's really loud and he's getting mixed opinions on if it will damage his truck. As such, he opted to rent a car for 3-4 weeks from Enterprise. The car shortage has also impacted the rental market, so that's probably a hassle as well. Getting your cat stolen in California is a major hassle right now.

 

nice! is it so bright? like blinding to look at?

 

Looks good. How come you didn’t get any empty box?

 

Same price, empty or loaded

 

Thinking about taking the front Air dam off. Just about ready for my next tank of gas and figure I can use this tank as an experiment to see what it does to gas mileage.

 

Took mine off the day after I bought it, don't know if it helps or hurts mileage but it looks better without it.

 

IMO, the issue is the demand. Eliminate the demand, you eliminate the supply. If the shady auto wreckers were heavily fined for accepting these units without an actual legitimate vehicle serial # or metal recyclers accepting the contents of the CAT were fined and shut down I think this issue could be remedied.

 

That's it LOL. Just thinking that about 80% of my driving is local highways to/from work, so if it's a BIG difference, that ould suck. if I still get like 19-20 on my otherwise stock truck, it's awesome.
