What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Super clean build. Do you have a link to the covers on your rigid fog lights?

 

I think the fogs are the srm model.

That should actually come from the factory like that. At least you still have the cubby that got removed on my 2020 model. Looks real good Sir!

 

Is that cracked pavement background normal? I never noticed.

 

Where at? I’m in the market for a deal too

Yeah, I’ve never changed it…wouldn’t know how to.

 

Do you have an image of the mount? Love this idea, but do not want to have to drill into the bed if I can avoid it.

 

When I go in for oil / tires the service writers automatically check. They told me about it.

 

Meso v5 switchbacks came in today.

Holy shit that wiring harness... gonna have to take a crack at deciphering it over the weekend.

 

The SR model has them

 

It is just the plastic mount that came with it. I have another that I will take a pic of and upload in a minute. I used double sided tape but did not trust it to hold so this is what I did. Just remove the six bolts that hold the cubby to the bed liner. The cubby will slide out where you can install the bracket at your work bench. You can then tape and drill two small holes in the cubby. I used a couple of stainless 10-24 button head screws with stainless lock nuts with nylon inserts with a couple of small fender washers on the back side. That way you can do the entire install from the bench and get it perfectly centered and lined up. The auto grade double sided tape will hold it where you want it while you drill the holes and keep if from working loose over the years.

Edit: Added pics and the fire extinguisher decals are on ebay. Also you have to put the mount in the back of the cubby, not the bottom as it sits in the truck. Otherwise you can't pull the extinguisher from the mount to get it out. Don't ask how I know that.

 

removed the tacoma badges and the v6 badge.


super happy with how clean it looks with those badges gone. need to take better pictures later.


i used a heat gun and fishing line. heat was the key, came off easy and in one piece. then i used the heat gun and my fingertips to roll the badge adhesive off. after that i used a cloth and a some wd40 / goo gone to remove the remaining residue.

washed the rig and then cleaned up the light surface swirls i had made with chemical guys scratch and swirl remover. (i had used it to take out some light surface stretches from where i took off the TRD bed stickers months ago and it worked great)

 

Install was a success. Pretty cool to have proximity unlock included.

 

Toyota called me to schedule the 3rd break light recall on Tuesday so I took it in this morning. At least they are being proactive about it.

 

Try not to over think it.

Just a plug to the turn signal

and some DRL power wires. High / Dim DRL wires

 

Whoa that looks super clean. #goals. What kind of tires are those?

 

i went with the falken wildpeak 265/75r16 and they’ve been great for me.

still on stock OR suspension so didn’t want to go bigger than that tire size.

 

What are the benefits to this over the stock headunit?
