What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

One other thing. Did you have to replace the seal (would think so) and did you use the removal and install tool for the clamshell bushing? I'm guessing the removal tool is a must but not 100% sure on the install tool.

 

Put the yellow covers on the oem ridged fog lights (snows a bit here). Part#: 301933.

 

I'm pretty sure it had everything to do with the MAF sensor. I noticed when I installed it onto the new intake tube that it didn't appear to be seating right on the flange, but in my haste to get the job done and go to bed I ran out of fux to give. I think excess air was seeping in through that area when I really got on the throttle leaving work, and the MAF sensor had a minor stroke. I just parked in my driveway after putting coupe hundred miles on the odometer today with highway driving. Light stayed off the entire time, and no issues whatsoever.

 

Replaced my bed stiffeners with the 4wp ones.

 

On order in Aqua...

 

That’s gold welds! Your truck is “The Gold Edition”.

 

Kenstogie I think your brake fluid looks kinda low.

 

Ceramic coated and ceramic tint, SpeedFlate air kit, and installed the KC Cyclone under-hood light kit. Plan on adding a pin switch to the underwood lights, not a fan of the toggle switch the kit came with. I decided to go with the SpeedFlate kit rather than make it myself mainly because it was well made and if I added materials and my time, I would have only saved a few bucks. decided to support a small, family owned business instead.

 

Picked this up..

 

Gotta love kids. Made me laugh out loud. Literally. Wife gave me a look like what's wrong with you. She understood after I showed her the picture. Enjoy them as much as you can. They grow up fast, really fast.

 

A question for the guys with Rxt leaf packs. I installed mine about 1000 miles ago. Option 1 got me about 3/4” higher than stock height. I have about 600lbs constant load and no lift. I assumed they would settle a bit. Currently my passenger side is almost 2 inches higher then drivers side with 1/4 tank of gas. The past 600 miles or so had about 800 lbs in the back during a camping trip with the family. It was pretty evenly distributed in the bed. Any thoughts as to why it would settled so odd? Should I just swap sides and let the gas settle it out? Any other thoughts or ideas? TIA

 

so far no drops on the garage floor. but i did buy it and just didnt think i needed to install it.

Removal tool was borrowed from a forum member i met at a camping trip.

Installed the bearing with this. (i put the bearing in the freezer to help it push in quicker)

Great info. Thanks

 

Pulled off the AVS bug shield today to clean and wax under it. Annoyed to find a bit of paint damage under the hood where dirt/rocks were caught under the lip. Still believe they are worth the protection they provide to the front edge of the hood so I used a piece of left over gasket to prevent any further scratching on the underside. Wish I had done this when I put it on for the first time.

 

I like they are outside of the bed space, having installed them (I have only read the “sales pitch”), do you believe they will provide the needed support?

 

Mine totally flattened out. Set at stage 2. Getting replacement this week. Stage 3.

 

I know this is a bad word here, but I just installed KTJO hood strut because it didn’t require drilling or rivets.
Took me 10 mins to install.
There’s an existing hole on the hood and an expansion screw is supplied for that hole and using one of the bolts for the hood.

My only issue is the word “tacoma” is painted on the side. There was no option to remove it. I think it’s tacky because the lettering is tall and looks cheesy. I’ll rub it off with some acetone.

 

How’s the quality?

 

Quality seems good. Brackets are thick and hard to tell on the struts but considering how many times I open the hood I’m not too worried. I can replace them if I needed as I’m sure I can the same size

 

Added 5 more HRSPRS with the new sticker I made and applied today
