What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just happened to me…all the body shops around here are $800-1000 for the repair. Said they would take 3 days

 

Its hard to think of two midsize trucks further opposite from eachother

 

Dang those caps are only 80$ at the most on eBay for a set. That's awesome. Now the hardest part will be deciding if I want chrome or black ones...

 

Put on the step bars yesterday and the tonneau this morning

 

Yikes!! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/pts/d/san-martin-2020-toyota-tacoma/7545563598.html

Well 2 day shipping with prime. And a hell of a lot cheaper

 

You forgot to mention, drive the truck to 88 MPH.

 

Got a good Amazon link?

 

ECOTRIC Rear Bumper End Compatible With 2016-2022 Toyota Tacoma Black Replace For TO1105133,

$115 TO1104133 Rear Bumper End Painted 6X3 Lunar Rock W/O Sensor Hole Lh for Tacoma 2016-2023

TO1104133; 52156-04010, 52155-04010

 

Now you have a great reason to install that steel rear bumper you've had your eye on. If someone backs into a steel bumper, the damage is done to their vehicle and not yours.

 

you are trying to put it on a surface that looks domed, has a raised logo on it and doesn't look like smooth paint-those holes on the centercap is for the glue to push through - you need to buy the oem center cap

 

Yeah. Someone at work hit me and gave it to their insurance. I was willing to work with the 2 of us and told them it would be cheaper. To each their own

 

What do you think of REAR BUMPER END PAINTED Cement WITH SENSOR HOLE LH TO1104138 this one? I kinda want to keep the paint matching bumper and also need the sensor cutout hole.

 

I had good luck on Ebay when I bought replacements for mine. Color matches perfect on Cement. I bought from this seller

Ecoological has been the standard for most people:

thats who i got mine from

 

You can buy a can over color matched spray paint and some 2K clear coat. You'd need to sand and fill it if there are any dents or deep scratches. I just did my whole front bumper. Once can of the paint from a local shop was $45 and $25 for the 2k clear coat. Came out perfect. I had some fillable primer sitting around. Or just see if you can find one on ebay.

 

First pics/mods of a '23 I've seen yet. It seems the Sport trim is first off the line. I don't think I could have waited any longer than I did even though I think got one of the last '22s.

 

Bought a used bumper and did the install this weekend. Previous owner gave me his already cut bumper so I could save my original. Color matched the paint and used 2k clear. Looks 100% match. Except where a few small pieces of dust landed since I had to paint outside.

new bumper install wasn’t so bad. There was a little tweak in one of the wings but I got it to line up using 2 small washers as shims. Just need to wire up the light and paint my shackles red. Haha
