What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not new, actually did it back in spring, but just getting around to documenting it now.
Spent two days getting the old suspension out, because nobody on youtube has a video where they replaced the shocks and coil-over on a not new tacoma. As you can see, had to grind off the heads on the rear shocks because even leaving it overnight with penetrating oil wasn't getting that rusted nut off. Wish that I would have recorded that process and posted it for you guys.

On that note, anybody looking for stock upper control arms and coilovers?

 

Got my windshield replaced by Safelite.
Ended up with aftermarket glass, not OEM as I strongly requested for and also noncalibrated . SURPRISE- sir ur truck is lifted, sir, we we not able to perform the calibration as planned, visit ur dealer for assistance.

 

I was debating on doing that also or getting the blue to match the interior lights around the buttons.

 

Plate interferes with the camera?

 

Get a painted one from tacovinyl

 

Got the '22 Tacoma KDmax tuned. Well worth the money. Its actually nice to drive now. No gear hunting. Just smooth shifts, and nice smooth acceleration. Highly recommend!

 

Do you find it makes a difference, I'm going camping in a couple of weeks and the temp will drop at night at this time of year. I'm wondering if its worth while doing. Thanks

 

Anyone got a link to disassembling the center console? Need to install 12v power in the back of it

 

Does anyone know, what is the length of this pre-determined period of time?

I don't have any scientific evidence but it can't hurt

 

What would calibration be needed for? Is it necessary? tia

 

Picked up an iKamper 3.0. Had one during the height of Covid and sold it for a small profit lol…but then I missed it and ended up moving to a house with a garage so I figured why not!

 

billie bars and a tri fold? is that inconvenient?

 

How would it be? lol. Having a tent with a tonneau is inconvenient no matter the setup IMO. I'm putting a hoist system in the garage for the 364 days of the year when I won't be using the tent anyways

 

a roller tonneau I think would give access, wasn’t sure how you’d get stuff in the back of the bed conveniently.

Anyways just asking as someone with a trinfold

 

Gotcha, I mean yea it's slightly inconvenient for that. But I don't mind crawling at my age and/or just using a rod with a hook on it to grab stuff. Otherwise it's great for keeping the MPGs a bit higher and stuff dry/safer.

 

It's all the safety sense stuff, windshield camera, tss sensor in the grill, etc. I think it's just a way to charge extra. The camera goes back in the same slot, not sure why it needs to be recalibrated unless the windshield took a major hit.
My dash lights are not on so I'm going pass for now. They did make.me sign a waiver for their liability release should the system not operate properly.

 

oh nice i was thinking if i do the same as you i'd just put a rope on every box but i like your rod n hook idea to help push it back lol

 

Simple addition to somewhat remedy the awful location of the data port on the dash.


Routes the USB plug 90 degrees down with a USB C port. Now the cord isn’t sticking straight out above the cup holder and I didn’t have to mess around routing usb back and forth from the center console.

Camera at the top of the tailgate. So I can have rear view when it is down. Gotta swap the cables though.
