What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Guys I got this awesome custom paint job in Mendocino national forest! Really great work you should go check them out....

All seriousness any of you know a good detailer in cali let me know

 

This is one of those times when I can say that "it will buff right out" and will be right.

 

While waiting for the V5 turn signals to come out I ordered and received these carbon fiber mirror skins. I ordered some unpainted black mirror covers to stick these on to so I can install at the same time as the V5’s. These are the matte finish.

been meaning to get one of those. worth it?

 

YIKES!!!

 

Door sill protectors, best mod ever IMO

 

Upgraded the stock suspension to Bilstein 6112 and SPC UCA.

 

Nice!

 

All I can say is that I honestly hate you for posting this! Picking up a set of gloss CF covers, wish I never knew they made these but now I am glad I must get these.

 

The fitment is REALLY good. So much so that if you try fitting them without removing the backing tape on the double stick tape you may feel like you may never get them off again.

 

And saw this last Saturday while out running errands.



Who knew Toyota had TRD model Camry back in that generation? [/QUOTE]

Letter inserts and emblem blackout. First mod of many… hopefully

Think I'm having deja vu.

 

Nice. How long did it take to polish it?

 

100% The quality is top-notch, and the fitment is even better.

Negates the need, at least for me, to pack a table for our camping stove, being that I level the truck every time we go camping, it's perfect for it. Also useful for tailgating and using it as a seat without hurting your back end.

 

After six months of waiting I got my second key today for the 2021 Tacoma. It was a minor shit show getting the dealer service dept in sync with the campaign notice I received from Toyota. There was one key in stock and programing the key and linking it to the truck took 2.5 hours. On some level the key in stock was simply luck, I had been under the impression the dealer in the loop but it was apparent they were not. This is just FYI for anyone waiting for their second key. Additional info: One new CH-R for sell on the lot. That was the only new car for sale. A used 2020 Hybrid RAV, a used Ford Escape and used 3-Gen Tacoma were sold and drove off while I waited for the key.

 

There’s specific changes to the tune with an S&B intake?

 

I can’t take my sidearm into work with me so I wanted a secure place to keep it in my truck.

 

Took my time, probably about 3 hours of just wet sanding. Sanded up to the bend. Masked off at the outer spring mount line after sealing. 320,400,600,800,1000,1500,2000,3000 grit 2 passes in that order. Probably overkill.. Then a polishing compound, a polish, then a sealant. Probably would’ve took 20 minutes if you do it with a machine. Lots of time and nothing to do; very happy with the outcome. Don’t have enough ambition to do the muffler, but believe it can can done!
