What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picked up my Leer cap

 

You also have to reprogram for each set and if you have toyota connected services you get a nice warning on your multi-media display unit, emails on your phone and I've gotten automated voice-mails about it.

Plus you aren't going to pass inspection in my state with a failed TPMS system since it's considered a safety item.

 

Love the red!

 

LOL!

I was like that too...back in Sep 2021 when I first joined.

Now that I have what I have, the add-ons are about to be exhausted...at least for me.

It's about enjoying the truck now...which I hope you are doing too!

 

What model is it? I got the 100XR and I love the thing. I really feel like the truck drives better with that added weight on the bed, do you feel that it changed the drive?

 

I would want to disconnect from toyota connected services.

 

Thank you been working on it for over 4yrs

 

Got a new pump and finished my Tranny Fluid swap to Redline. Was about half a qt low from factory. Shifts feel great, quieter. Or it's my imagination. Also threw in a flow accelerator. No trd air filter yet, perhaps someday.

 

This is, "what have I kept from being done to my 3rd Gen today".
After just watching this program on CBC Marketplace I moved my Tacoma key fob far away from the closet at my front door. Although they didn't feature a Tacoma being stolen in 2 minutes or less, I know there are plenty of Taco owners that also have a Honda or Lexus parked in the driveway beside their Taco.

Got this message on the head unit this morning…..

First of all, it’s been displaying on the dash every day for a couple of weeks and now this. I read on here the other day that you can pull the fuse for the DCM under the hood, but would that become an issue if you have a warranty claim? I have an appointment for the 15k service tomorrow morning so I’ll be glad all the alerts will be gone. I’ll continue to have the dealership service the vehicle as long as it’s under warranty. Once the warranty is up I’ll service it myself, but will I have to take it in to have the service alert messages cleared or is there a way to clear on my own without having to shell out a couple hundred bucks?

 

Are you not able to shut off the reminder in the radio setup?

 

A little DIY chrome delete.

 

I finally got my avid off-road bumper guard installed this morning. I might do a longer write up on the install later. Here are a couple of pictures in the meantime:

 

I’ll check later when I get ready to take off. After I took the photo and shut the engine off when I got back to the truck and was heading home it wasn’t showing (short drive home). Later I’ll check it out. Thanks! And thanks for the other post about the car thefts. Very enlightening article.

 

Here’s a quick video showing how to reset that warning on the head unit. It’s for a 2020 but should be the same for 2021- or at least point you in the right direction.

I think I’d prefer to cut up my fenders than put that on my truck. I hope you like it though.

 

Cheapest and the most useful mod

 

Thanks bud! Looks easy enough. I’ll let you know if it works.

 

Worked as advertised! I only did the dash reset since there is an option to put the date of service in the infotainment system I’ll let the tech do that. Thanks again!

 

Where'd you tap in for power?
