What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Agreed. I didn’t deep dive the lightest possible setup I could find for what I’m planning to do with the truck short-term. I did pick the lightest wheel out of the ones I was interested in, which was the Summit Dakar (23.5 lbs). The other contenders were SCS Ray10s at 25lb 14oz, and Relation Race Wheels RR7s at 27lbs. Paired with the lightest KO2s at 265/70/17. Not my ideal setup for heavy use, but okay for now.

 

You shouldn't have to aim the headlights from simply switching bulbs assuming they were already aimed properly. The bulbs only go in one way and lock. Can't screw that up.

 

Good looking wheels. They seem to be only a half-pound heavier than OEM so the performance hit had to be the tires. They are 11lbs heavier per tire, and all of that weight is out at the outer edge where it has the highest impact due to leverage.

 

That's not entirely correct. The LED Bulb often rotates relative to the base so that they can be properly aligned within the housing regardless of which direction the plug needs to face. OEM bulbs emit omnidirectional light so they can go in at any angle, and OEMs can face the plug in any direction because of that. LED's do not, so they have to be adjusted for each application.

While not specific to Tacomas, Flyin Miata did a pretty good video showing the problem and the solution:

 

So if I'm not seeing any of this at this point on my 2018, I'm fine right? Not gonna fix what ain't broke just to potentially cause a new problem

 

Everyone sorta has to make this decision themselves, but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

 

its subjective whether you need a tune or not. Mine feels fine to me but I drive slow

 

Finally got my HUD in the mail today. 8 months in the waiting. Will show installed when done.

 

Pretty cool product. Anxious to hear about it. Also interested in the difference in the sound once the speaker is somewhat covered up.

 

These showed up today.

 

You talking about the holes on the top of the lower rear seats?

 

You going to get the black steering wheel panels from ajt also? I debated on black but added a cement logo

 

I've got the same granite in my kitchen.

 

Let me know how they are to install. Messing with the airbag makes me nervous

 

My Christmas present from my wife. Couldn’t wait till Saturday.

 

Winjet?

 

yes

 

Installed Rago Fabrication bracket I got on Black Friday and today I went to a local shop to grab some maxtrax traction board and pins for 15% off.

 

Airbags had me skittish too, but removal is actually easy and pretty safe when done correctly. This video helped me a lot when installing a new turn signal stalk:

Those plug into the bed?
