What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ill sell you a 32ish inch light bar with behind the grill mounts for for a 24 pack of coors light. You come pick it up(and drop off beer) in burnsville. The mounts are caliraised, and the light bar is some $100 dual color bar from Amazon (you can turn on each color by it self)

Some stuff might be missing(I know the harness is gone), but the light bar and mounts are there.

 

That light bar looks mean

 

It was great, but after having it installed for a year and only using it 1 time I removed it. I thought I would use it more, but just never got a chance.

 

I feel like I don't use half the stuff I buy for my Tacoma. Better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it I guess lol.

 

Yeah, Im like that for most things too.

 

Using my truck to do truck things. I’m standing on my Prinsu Roof Rack



ran out of racket straps so I have to use a few bungee cords lmao



there’s not a body in that rug btw

 

Yea, I think most things are like that, including people.

 

I bought my truck out here in Germany and haven't been able to as much as I would like. Germans don't like trucks off roading in their area. Just shipped it to Washington so I'll get more out of her there.

 

Absolutely correct. Our "new" 2016 Tacoma and Ford batteries died at the same time around 18k miles. They both just completely died without any warning. No slow starting or anything. The battery in my work commuter was a 5 year battery that was still good after 7 years. You cannot buy a standard battery with more than a 3 year warranty now. They no longer sell batteries with a 5 year warranty (not sure about AGM).

 

Dang, now that's a great offer, and that light bar is sweet. Not sure when I'm going to be in the cities area next. it's about 225 miles from here to Burnsville.

 

Well let me know if your in the area anytime. The stuff is just sitting in the garage. Ill let you know next time I head up north (I assume your up north)

 

I'll let you know. Ya, I'm up on the range east of Virginia.

 

don’t your legs/feet hit the fire extinguisher?

 

Eibach TRD PRO 1” lift kit installed. Before and after pic below. Comparison pic of the eibach and TRD Pro spring side by side.

No more rubbing with 265/75/16 on 16x8 -20 offset wheels.

 

too bad we can’t get the Panasonic OEM 4 Runner battery in the Taco. Mine lasted 6 years

 

Probably depends if battery was made on a Wednesday or a Friday also. I have a 2017 with 55k and still on original OEM battery knock on wood

I have similar setup and it does not interfere (though my handle is on the inside). Will update w photo.

Added Empyre Off-Road domed TRD Decals to my 2016-2019 17" TRD Sport wheels I'll be running this winter.

A detail photo showing the small tabs that hold the existing Toyota emblem in. They simply push out with light finger pressure, so I'd recommend against prying these off unless you don't want to pull the wheel off the truck, or pull the center cap off the wheel.

The part number 20722-00 does not show up on Toyota's part number database, oddly enough.

All (4) off ready for decals.

I used the "wet" method for the first three decals to get a feel for how to position and work with them, but gave up and just stuck the fourth one on since I had an idea of where to place it.

I'm curious how these will hold up to Northeast salt spray this winter, but it will be a welcome change from the stock emblem. I'm not a big emblem guy on trucks for some reason (though I did love the STi decals all over my old STi) but I do have a TRD truck, so I think we're good here.
