What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My first post! I installed these raptor-esque lights on my 2019 SR5 grille. Super easy to follow the YouTube video and install and I’m a zip tie mechanic! Thanks @jrich44, they’re sick!

 

nice bumper who made this

 

Damn. That makes me feel even more grateful for the gas prices that I have in my area. Currently we're at $2.93 (At the local Kroger). I also have Kroger reward card (I get fuel reward points) and a Kroger branded Mastercard (I got it because it offers a .65 discount on gas). When I filled up on Friday, I paid $2.08.

 

Yeah, we have very high taxes here for numerous reasons. I can't remember seeing it that low in a very long time, since I was a kid. It is what it is

 

Got my Joying 9" radio in. Having CarPlay is nice!

 

I just wish I had that Start/Stop button next to the transfer-case selector knob. Alas it wasn't an option for the Manual for some reason.

 

Maybe start here. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/just-bought-a-taco-and-have-some-questions.555877/#post-18124958

 

Just read through that thread and have no idea what that has to do with the start/stop button.

 

You could also try sly brackets. Pricy, but no drilling into the bumper.

Made in Buffalo....huh, learn something new every day.

 

dont you have to pull apart the entire dash to wire this? Ive seen a couple of crazy videos.

 

Did you have to raise the truck at all for these new tires? I want to beef my look up a bit with new tires but don’t want to put a lift kit on it. Any suggestions?

 

IDK if anyone knows off the top of their head. how tall does the OEM jack lift up to? I was just thinking i have my 2inch lift with my tires. may be too tall for the OEM jack

 

Man, those look great on the white paint! Kinda envious.

 

Looks good!

 

So after waiting more than half a year for some new KTJO bowl lights to get back in stock, I FINALLY got my driver side replaced this morning. Not overly challenging (and purely cosmetic) to do.

As a side note: I know about the bad/mixed reviews for KTJO products/customer service. But I caught them on sale and needed driver side replaced. Also, when I ordered mine, I was under the impression I was ordering just 2. I didn't really get a chance to inspect them until today ( a la rushing out the door to work), but I got 4 in my box. So I don't know if that was an error on their part, or not. But if anything, I've got 3 replacements if needed.

 

Someone on here will know. I haven't tried the OEM jack since lifting, but did toss a 12" long piece of 4x6 in the bed to have just in case I ever needed it.

 

Added The Noco Boost XL GB50 with the Heavy Duty Case to the Truck Accessory arsenal.

 

Looked at those online and they look nice. How many amps do we need? I see 1500, 2000 and 3k.

 

Not sure about the height, but these are great for the stock jack.
