What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

no thanks I'm married

 

I got them on Etsy searched Tacoma accessories. Etsy has a ton of Taco stuff

 

hey you know my gf..

 

you gotta get a young one......easier to train

 

Amazon has those too. Plenty of options with Tacos

 

Mounted up 1 of my 37s, we will see if I have the motivation to tub over the next week if it cools down.

 

they must have installed mine differently, the tailgate unlocks/locks with just 1 press of the remote button, or touching either the driver or passenger door handle keyless sensor

 

Michael, is that you?!

 

You can change this under vehicle preferences in the head unit. I changed mine to cycle all locks as well.

 

I received the 2 pin Deutsch connectors from Amazon and the zip tie holders from tnutz that were recommended by @Kane50. So I finished up my harness and installed it onto the rack. Really impressed with the tnutz. They are super secure; no way are they coming out with vibration and the material seems like it’ll hold up to UV exposure just fine. Plus I installed them underneath the extrusions. Not totally happy with my wiring but you’d have to climb up to see it and it’s secure and won’t causing any noise while driving so I can live with it.

Just a photo to show the tnutz in the extrusion. I actually mounted them underneath.


Wiring harness just chillin’ roughly where it’ll go.


Not the best photo because it started getting dark but harness ‘mostly’ hidden under the extrusions.


Obligatory lights on shot!


The DD SS42 light bar is blindingly bright. I’ll hopefully try it out in total darkness this weekend to see the output. I’ll also take the truck on a drive to check out the wind noise with the rack. Tacoma has been sitting for weeks and getting mods in the driveway as I’ve been busy with life and haven’t had a need to drive it; been using the wifey’s Model 3 as she has been on summer break from teaching.

 

Swapped out the fox (with squeaky Eibach spring upgrades) for Ironman FCP W/ powder coated red springs. Too soon to tell if they’re better, but they handle potholes like a champ and I no longer feel like I’m floating between lanes on the freeway (some people might like that).

 

Installed cat shield last week. Paranoia gone.

 

Did the dealership install yours? I'm asking because Toyota's kit specifically calls for the wiring to be run to the passenger door. That way it only operates when all doors do. So if you're only using the driver's side most of the time, the tailgate remains locked like the other 3 doors.

 

You guys are actually dropping 7 grand on that super charger?

 

That is a nice looking truck, what brand of roof rack is that?

 

Well... it has seats for the driver & front passenger.

But I know you meant rear jump seats. It does not have those. No fixtures to mount them either.
Makes for easier flat-floor-mod.
Also makes it nice when a group of us from work go out to lunch = "Someone else will have to drive, I only have room for one other". Thus, I'm never the chauffeur.

 

Put together a video of last weekends trip up 395..

Love making videos, if you feel like helping me out by dropping a like or if you’re really awesome subscribe. Appreciate even just a view! Thanks..

 

There is a program option to unlock on 1click or 2 clicks for the passenger door. On that note, when did they start having the passenger side touch sensor to lock/ unlock the doors?

 

2020 has them on the passenger door. I don't even use a key fob anymore. One of the guys on here showed me a lexus key card and I leave that in my phone/wallet and I never leave home without it now.

 

Uhh, yeah! Driving is just way more fun with it. It also depends on your financial situation of course. I don't have any bills except a mortgage so it's all play money to me!
