What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

the top only attach and the bottom are free floating

 

Looks good. Time to upgrade to led, sliders and probably some seat jackers in that 3rd gen

 

AND……

 

i got super lucky. A member here was selling these a few weeks ago since he sold his truck. The smoothies are brand new.

 

Here's what I did today! Swapped back to the SR5 Grille, got sick of seeing the pro grille everywhere. Also here's a photo dump of all the other mods I've done over the months haha

 

It’s a much needed improvement for the 3.5L. Makes it a normal truck to drive and haul cargo. Only downside is… Compared with the OV tune 2.0, the Magnuson tune loses some of the torque bump sub 3500 rpm. Still more throttle response than stock and the power up top is significantly better.

 

Did some goofing off with some video editing software. Crammed 30 shots in about 9 seconds.
