What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

yeah, the interwebs is a bonus' worst nightmare...........ask mine! LOL

 

That's awesome!

I have my LE's sitting in a box. They were one of my favorite mods and worked perfect for the last 3 years before going to V5's

 

Of course you can!!

Looks good. Now I want one, but I’m thinking painting the red trim to gloss black. I like black and chrome.

 

You can do wonders with vinyl wrap, too.

 

Good idea. Will check into that.

 

soon i will be hitting you up on some specs if you dont mind. i love the stance your truck has with that those tires and lift.

 

nice. i have my dual arb in a box. i just finished making my mounting bracket for some electrical stuff like relay box and fuse's for the switches and what not. now i can start to install it all.

i think im going to mount my compressor in the grill. someone does sell a bracket to do this but its kinda expensive so ill attempt it on my own.

 

LOL! Get ready for Tacoma OVERLOAD!!
It's a requirement that every household have at least 1 Tacoma!

 

Yeah, I've seen that a lot of people have them there but I can't justify it. I'll sell the truck and buy one when I get back when (hopefully) vehicle and home prices are a bit more sane.

 

In your 2021? How many miles before the vibes & noises started?

 

That just gave me an idea. I have a few of the red pieces left over from doing the MESO micro-switch install while doing my illumination mod for a few TW members. I am going to paint them black this weekend.

oostroma I am interested in one of the black ones. I will be following your progress.
Thanks.

 

Because it's Friday I thought I share this here from this morning...

I ordered the following from Fred Anderson Toyota out of NC:
00948CHMSLHW 1 $ 28.41 TACOMA CHMSL HARDWAR
00948CHMSL 1 $ 24.25 TACOMA CHMSL REPAIR

$160 PK3B635JS0 Toyota Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Short Wheelbase Tailgate Lock (PK3B6-35JS0)

PK3B635JS0 1 $ 109.48 Remote Tailgate Lock - Extra Long


Order Summary:
3 products , 3 items $ 162.14
Coupon
- $ 23.27
Shipping & Handling to 85050 $ 23.27
Total
$ 162.14

Unfortunately, this morning they cancelled my order and are issuing a refund. I called and spoke with Ryan Cahela who claimed they can't sell parts that are part of a tsb recall and that's why they had to cancel the entire order. I asked about the tailgate lock and he said I'd have to replace the order through their website, but it's now roughly $138 for the same part and he refused to honor my original price of $109.48.

That's totally bait and switch. They won't sell third brake light repair parts, because the dealer gets paid to do the repair work and reimbursed for the parts as well. None of which has anything to do with the extremely cheap sale price of the power tailgate lock kit.

For those waiting on Toyota parts from the 20% sale the other day good luck and I hope you get your shit.

 

That's unfortunate. I was hoping to do the gasket install myself as well.

 

I take it you're coming for military? Don't they pay to relocate?
Hopefully the Tacoma design change doesn't make it look like a Nissan.

 

Yeah, but in this case I'm the dependa. My wife's car is much more practical for the area, so we'll take that and I'll buy a bike when I get there. If Toyota does screw up the aesthetics then screw it I'll just buy a used one like I did this time (3 months ago). When we come back it will probably be time to upgrade her ride as well so we'll probably end up selling her car there and buying her an EV when we get to her next duty station.

 

I have to boost pro model which is much bigger than the next step down. The case is specific to this model but they might make cases for the smaller nocos that aren’t as big.

 

On the Taco I did the wiring back a few years ago so it was plug and plug with the new ones, I don’t remember where we tapped power.
On the Highlander I had to wire down to the window switch panel, not hard but had to find ignition switched power. I didn’t bother connecting the headlight power, so they don’t dim with the headlights on, but I didn’t want them to anyway.
