What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

See my install notes on the thread for this bumper. It was pretty straight forward, just followed the video for the cutting (measure everything 4 times!) other than the cross bar behind the grill that hit the winch control box and deciding how to trim the wheel well trim. I have the TRD leveling kit which raised the front about 2”. Bumper + Warn Evo 10s is about 160 pounds. Definitely noticed the weight but haven’t measured for drop.

 

I went looking for the wiper stalk and found the whole assembly on eBay for about 100 bucks. Ended up getting fog lights too.

 

Can you link said thread? Would be much appreciated

 

nice. I think I paid around $80 for the light stalk alone.

 

Back from NOLA and what a great time! But some of those roads are freaking brutal, had to be put in to 2LO a few times - jk. Detailed the truck inside and out and she is ready for work this week. Nice win too. Geaux Saints! Hopefully Tuesday I can finally install the MESO headlight trim pieces that I've had for quite some time then comes the tune.

 

Yes I pressure washed it. Used my foam cannon on it and let it sit for a bit and rinsed it really well. Left it on the garage floor with a dehumidifier running for a couple days. Yes it’s much easier when doing the same job a second time!

 

I’m in Canada. I called 2 different dealers and they wouldn’t give me a straight answer. The truck is well out of warranty (200000km) so I decided “I am the warranty!” (Tavarish)

 

Anytime I’ve encountered a TSB and mentioned knowledge of the TSB to the parts guy, the price of the part magically changes to next to nothing. My Corolla intake manifold gasket went from $17 to $1.17..

 

Finally mounted my second pelican.

 

I live an hour from New Orleans and yes, everyone dreads driving their roads.

 

3rd gen pumpkin at night.

 

That looks more like a first gen to me!! Hahaha!

 

I don't believe Canada is doing the tsb on the third brake light. I think I read about a few Canadian Tacoma owner's on here who were left out on this tsb and did the work themselves, but you could always mention it to the dealer and try.

 

I already sealed everything up with windshield urethane! I would guess it will never leak again! I have an appointment at the dealer on Friday as I need a new key fob (for push button start) I ordered an OEM one online for about $100. Just going there to get it programmed. Not sure if I’ll get the key cut or not. I haven’t had much luck with locksmiths and Honda or Toyota keys. I do need to get a couple keys made for the tailgate though. The 2016 model apparently takes a different key than the door.

I’ll ask about the leaks but since I already fixed it, I’m sure it’s all on me now.

 

And your bottom hooks of this OEM cargo net attached to what? Can't see clear...

 

Looks like a 1 beer job!

 

Installed OEM TRD Pro headlights on my sr5 with a custom wire harness from @Puppypunter man these look MEAN! Also a bit of off roading this weekend!

 

Ahhhhh, what's in the boooxxx?!

 

I mounted a pelican once. That's why I'm not allowed back in the zoo...

 

There are no bottom hooks, just wraps around the bed cleats.
