What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Taco4cheaps superwhite grille letter overlays. Vleds resistors in the tail lights for hyper flashing in reverse with signal on. Also tacomods aluminum knobs

 

Good work!

 

What is a good upgrade? If you give me a name I'll do a little gooGGle search of shops nearby me. Thanks.

 

I don't leave the lights on for 2 minutes when doing this test. It's only to eliminate residual surface charge when testing the battery if the car is off. The real indicator will be how low the voltage dips while you're starting the car. The tricky part about that is seeing the multimeter while starting the car if you don't have a second person to help you. I usually just set up the multimeter to where I can see it through the gap between the bottom of the hood and the cowling when the hood is open.

If that voltage dips below 10 when cranking the engine it's at the end of its life.

 

I read you, and I got a helper. Thanks.

 

Optima Yellow or Red top?

 

Looks awesome!

 

Where you been?

tundra gone?

 

@WatchMaker2022

Awesome!

Glad you are happy with them.

 

You're absolutely right, the last part of my statement should be, "and as it about to leave your sideview you can start to see it out your side windows."

 

Hey man! 2023 Tacoma LR LB sport coming soon! I regretted selling the Tacoma so much haha

 

Rock lights

 

Rock lights? Those look like nightclub lights

 

I went X2 Group 31 AGM <here, but some argue it requires a "tune" with alternator voltage settings changed. A AGM 27 is another option with the 2nd gen battery tray. The starter is noticeably faster.

 

I have used Optima in the past. It seemed like it lasted forever. Honestly, I only went with an Autozone OEM replacement for the Tacoma because I put very few miles on it.

 

Not sure where you’re basing those numbers from, my 2010 OR was 11 years old when I sold it. Factory battery the entire time. Never any issues.

 

Lucky you.

 

Installed a bed step. Took about 20 minutes.

 

Badass!

I'm laughing really hard right now.

Thanks!
