What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picked up a screw in the outside lug of my Duratrac Sat nite. Decided to use the road side assist benefit of a free patch or new tire if unable to repair, long story short...dealer took 7 hrs and just plugged it from the outside, looks kinda sketchy. I could have did that in my garage in 5 minutes.
Hope it holds.
Thinking I need to pu a matching 265 75 16 spare just in case.

 

Interesting... The dealership that just repaired my plug did it from the inside and said "Toyota won't even let us plug from the outside if we wanted to..."

I'm sure it will hold.... they're winter tires right?

 

I told the service guy why from the outside, sb from inside, his reply was thats the proper way, they do all like that. Total BS. I knew no sense talking to him at that point.

 

That's unfortunate. Wish there were some standard practices among dealerships...

 

Added new Tri Tube Runners. They are pretty heavy duty, Sprayed flat black rust proofing. Look Awesome.

 

That console looks great! Where did you get the 120v/12v parts?

 

Awesome man, thanks a ton!

 

Lol okay. Good looking out

 

I have no idea, I'll have to find out. What does it look like

 

Installed Meso Stage 1's and Total Chaos bed stiffeners

 

Thank you! I ordered the parts from OEM Part Source. The trim piece, 120v outlet, and 12v outlet are three different part numbers. Most people who do this mod order an OEM USB insert for the right side instead of the 12v outlet like I did, but I needed to add the 12v outlet back to the interior since I no longer have one in my dash.

The part numbers are here in this thread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-cab-120vac-400w-anytime-power-outlet.622505/

I ordered the plug and play harness kit from KTJO 4x4 for this mod, but it's been crickets ever since I placed my order about 3 weeks ago. I knew it was a gamble, but I thought I'd give it a shot instead of hacking up the factory wiring. I figure I'll wait another week or so, then dispute the charge with my bank. Thankfully, another member on here had the parts to make me up the harness (I think he may be planning to sell them, but I don't want to steal his thunder, so I won't spill the beans), so I ended up not having to hack up the factory wiring after all.

 

It's a small circular piece in the grill piece that covers the tweeter on the passenger side. I don't have the sensor, so there's just a plastic circular plug in it. I'm assuming if you have the sensor, it's replaced with said sensor and is wired underneath.

 

How much was the head unit + harness? Do you know if it works with JBL units? Dying to get android auto.

 

I’ve upgraded:
1. Interior lights to LED
2. Catalytic converter security plate
3. Front subdued light bar
4. New phone mount
5. Ordered a shell
6. Ordered locking lug nuts
7. Bed mat
8. Auto locking tailgate
9. Changed chrome badging to black matte

Thinking about :
1. Wheels (current 25 positive offset. Prefer neutral offset-will move my tire out almost an inch)
2. Maybe slight increase in tire size (don’t want to put a lift kit in it)

 

Thanks, I’ll definitely try that. I guess I wasn’t the only one who got them on sale for Labor Day lol

 

How much you selling that round for???

 

If you have auto headlights, the light sensor is under the plastic trim piece by front windshield on passenger side. There is a sensor that is plugged in and can easily be unplugged if you want disable the light sensor (LED DRLs only I believe). You can still remove the OEM tweeter without worrying about that sensor if that's a non-issue for you.

I disabled the light sensor myself for over a year now.

 

Good question. Guess I should open a bidding war for it. Ammo is in short supply these days.

 

Debadged. Peeled the black vinyl from the doors. Took about 3 hrs.

 

I go back and forth with the removal of the pillar vinyl. On one hand I like the appearance of a whole side window effect; then on the other I like the separation effect that you now have.

Well done.
