What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm interested; please update if the adhesive has any issues on really hot or super cold days.

 

For some reason, my unit shipped without any adhesive pad. Had to cut my own pad.

 

Spark Plugs.. New Tires, Oil Change and Throttle Commander. She runs like never before...

 

Poly motor mounts, finished the uca double shear, and bought a Tundra rack so hopefully get that next week/put it in next weekend. Then, Moab in 2 weeks for a beatdown atlast!

 

Damn! Currently $20 cheaper than the Offroam!

 

It clamps on the vent bezel so afterwards it won’t spin, but it will still open and slightly close.

 

Exactly. The Offroam one only has one screw to tighten

 

Are the spark plugs easy to get to on the V6 engines?

 

Fitted the tacomods XL radio knobs.

I'm still not used to the opposite orientation of the steering wheels controls so have been favouring using the headunit itself...probably a pointless mod but I like the feel and size of the bigger knob

 

Random question. Do the bed mats smell strongly of rubber?

 

Somewhat. I don't find it to be unpleasant though. But yes when I open the tonneau I do get a rubber smell. I imagine over time it will die down.

 

Nope. Benefit:Things don’t slide easily. Drawback: Things don’t slide easily!

If you have something big and heavy you’re trying to slide into the bed by yourself ….it can be annoying, but worth it overall lol

 

Thanks. I have a tonneau as well and figured it might make the smell more prominent. I guess nothing some airing out couldn't handle.

 

Not a terribly strong smell, but noticeable. After a few years is almost goes away. I have mine from my 2nd gen in my 3rd gen and it is 8 yr old, still get a mild smell and I have run a topper on both trucks.

 

Just read an article about the HOTTAP, it would be interesting to hear how you like it. Nice work BTW

 

Yeah. That's what i worry about with rubber. The smell can linger forever. I currently have some new OEM matts baking in the sun to try and rid them of new rubber smell.

 

My OEM mats did not have much of a smell at all and now after 4 mo, gone. Good luck with the sun baking!

 

this is why i can't roll with that style holder. i adjust my vents too much depending on which way the wind blows.

 

One of my favorite things about my aftermarket radio and Maestro RR steering wheel control retention is the ability to program the buttons to do what I want. I flipped those functions and couldn't be happier. I also added a screen-off toggle and a play/pause song toggle as the "hold" functions on some of the buttons. More function than stock for sure.

 

Maestro is definitely underrated
