What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I saw on her instagram these came in. As one of the first to preorder over two years ago I was pretty excited. Until I realized since the preorder I moved. No big deal right. I'll send her a quick message before she ships and update my address. Annnnnnd no response. Love this company!

 

Honestly, I didn’t check. I’d assume not. I’ll let you know

 

Where in TN are you?

 

You guys that take your Tacos apart like that amaze me. Then those guys that take out their dash and stuff.
My hats off to you guys.

Maryville,
Sir, I bet you had some weather.
Hope everything is OK CDR.

 

Installed Deaver Stage III’s, Bilstein 5160’s and the @Apogee Offroad rear bumper today…

Took an amateur like me all day… and I’m exhausted… but it looks so good.

The front half will have to wait til next weekend!

 

it does. ha I thought it was a pic from the show room!

 

Since you mentioned Marines, 60s and drill sergeant. Yeah my Dad too. 29 palms to be even more specific. Judge not lest ye be judged….or something silly like that. Or lighten up Frances is another way of looking at this. So much more to be disgruntled about in the tiny world we live. Be proud we have folks that are patriotic. It’s easy and is better on your mind and soul.

 

Son of a… Dealership sent me the wrong bed mat. Double checked my order and did order the right one -

$199 PT58035050SB Genuine Toyota Accessories PT580-35050-SB Bed Mat for Short Bed Tacoma Models Black, 59 1/2" L X 52 1/2" W X 3/8" H

PT58035050SB

 

Sorry for the non-MOD question. I'm getting an airbag system malfunction alert. Wants me to take the truck to this stealership. I have installed the aftermarket pro Grill With aftermarket garnish. Do you guys think they're going to give me shit or tell me some kind of junk story that that's causing the problem with the airbag system. Is TSS even part of the airbag system? Thanks for the advice Taco friends.

 

Welcome to the forum Nice looking ride

 

No idea what they might say, those guys spew lies from 9-5 so you’ll just have to wait and see

 

Comparably priced at my dealer parts department.

 

I think I'd try to find out more about the alert before taking it in. Maybe an OBDII code reader would give you a better idea of what the problem actually is so you can be ready with the Bullshit Card like a gunslinger in one of those old west movies.

 

I had my TSS malfunction because something got stuck to the front of my grill and it didn't say anything about the airbag system. So I wouldn't think it is dependant on that. I would take off the garnish if its easy enough. They might not notice the pro grill immediately.

Did you do any other mods? Like removing the dash or a seat that might have unplugged an airbag or sensor? Maybe it checks for connectivity.

 

These trucks (all modern vehicles) have very sensitive electrical systems, a small spark can equal big money unfortunately.

Remember: "negative first - negative last"

First step - open hood and disconnect the negative
do your work
Last step - reconnect negative and close hood

I realize it seems like a pain - read this forum for awhile and you will see people ending up with big problems from a small spark during a 10 minute job.

 

Tinted front windows today.
5% Ceramic

 

Got my 2nd Gen running boards installed today. Really happy with the look - and yes - they fit fine. As others have said, make sure you leave all the bolts loose until the end, then go and tighten everything up to spec as the last step.

 

One of my favorite mods.
