What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I just used a wire coat hanger to fish it through on both sides when I ran some wiring. Just took my time and had no issues.

 

I've been following your build, and I hope that you get this fixed!

You've removed all the electronics, so big brother couldn't follow you,
which likely caused a cluster malfunction,
which caused you to get pulled over twice.

I'd recommend Google maps to set your speed for now, but I have a feeling you're not down with that.

You could swap clusters with a friend to troubleshoot, but you run the risk of damaging the other cluster if there is a voltage/short problem in your truck. You might try your cluster in someone's truck to see if it works there.

Besides reinstalling all the nanny electronics to troubleshoot, a new cluster might be in your future.

 

Used the Tacoma to pick up some crown molding yesterday. I was a little unsure about carrying the 16ft pieces but it did fine. Put a towel in the middle of the dash so it wouldn’t get scratched and tied it together.

 

Putting in a new battery today as it has died without warning. 2017 with 25K miles so it lasted 5 years not too bad.

I can start and stop it without problems but if it sits for longer than an hour the starter just makes a rapid clicking noise. Jumping it works so gotta be the battery.

Off to the store!

 

Washed, clayed and waxed today. Gave her a good detailing inside and out. After 20+ years of owning utilitarian full size crew cabs hauling kids and boats to the lake every weekend and snowmobiles and ATVs up north it’s nice to be back in a smaller truck. I’ve really enjoyed this thing for the last few years. Tinkering with mods makes me feel like a kid again lol.

 

Installed the VLED footwells (front and rear)


and then installed some new Tail Lights.

 

Does it work when connected through CarPlay though?

 

Well had my new tires installed yesterday Cooper Endeaver M/Ts 265/75/16 alittle more meat than my other Coopers abit of noise off the rear but not to bad

 

Just installed License Plate Light DIR from FBC Harness Solutions. (No pictures)

 

Free Mod: I sanded the white off the letters on the dealership license plate frames. I wanted black plate frames but with less pop on the advertising. Goes better with my debadged Taco.

 

This is a mod I have been thinking about doing for awhile:

I would like comments (pro's and con's) from the peanut gallery to help me make a final decision.

Oh, and I won't have a relay switch installed, I would plug it straight into my regular horn.

 

I did the same thing with my dealer frames until I decided to completely ditch them. I later used a dremmel with a sanding drum to knock down the raised letters and scuff up the rest of the plastic before I rattle canned them, but ultimately decided I was fine without frames

 

Anyone with Puddle Pods know if there is a way to change the color? I def want them but I want red lights. Thanks

 

First mod I always do to any vehicle: Remove those silly things and put them in the trash.

 

Probably easiest to buy some red film and apply that over the lenses...

 

Installed my dashcam

 

Replaced the factory decals-

before:

after:


the streaks in the after is the sun reflection….not on the truck.

 

Got some new shoes put on her.

 

Ya that's probably easiest, thanks. Now to just find those damn pods haha.

 

Just got back I’m from camping in Salida for FIBARK!
