What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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?

 

There’s an ass for every seat as they say

 

Anddd done.

 

Washed the truck today, not much to do yet.

 

So those are the alpha black ones? The almost looked smoked even though they are clear glass

 

Yet all the youtubers rave about them lol

 

Did the reverse license plate light delete, A/C drain tube extension, TRD air filter and air flow accelerator today.

 

Thanks, I saw the Nova and said, that's the one. Appreciate the help. I will post a video when I get them installed.
