What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I switched mine out as well with the AJT Designs Cup Holder and it is one of my favorite upgrades I have done to my truck.

 

Yes! Thanks Josh. I forge

Lots of braces on the 17 models. Genius analysis!

 

I do like husky xact but those you posted look high quality and how the cover the whole backseat. Tacoma has the storage compartments though

 

I use Bluetooth sxm. Even thou the truck has satellite. The phone offers commercial free stations

 

Sweeeet tire/wheels. Super thumbs up

 

Appreciate it! It took me 4 attempts (paint sand, repeat) to get it. The clear coat kept peeling off after a few days but was able to finally find the "balance"

Luckily I have Apple but it does seem to have a nicer presence in the vehicle

 

Yep that’s where I got the idea haha. Love his videos but he is much more mechanically inclined than me. You snapped the bolt?

 

Agree. I’m trying to find a good solution for the wireless CarPlay. The car link stuff on Amazon has mixed reviews

 

I spy a new member

 

It’s getting warmer! The mod bug is starting to move.

 

I hope this post helps someone... I looked through TW for months searching for a definitive answer to the question, "will 265/75r16 rub on a stock 3rd gen tacoma with 16x8in rims with -12mm offset and 4.00in backspacing (SCS BR6, Ray 10's, SR8's)?"

I know this is a very case by case question because there are many factors at play like which brand/model tire you decide to go with, how much weight is on your truck, what rims you have, rim offset, if you run spacers etc...

So my truck has billie bars, pelican gun case, TRD skid plate, Toyota oem ski rack, prinsu rack, ditch lights for weight, tires I went 265/75r16 BFG KO2's (I know its overkill and I just don't care, its my truck and that's what I wanted), Im on stock TRD off road suspension, and I have SCS BR6 wheels 16x8 -12mm offset 4.00" BS.

The answer to the question does it rub, in my case yes, it rubbed in full lock going in reverse going through some large snow potholes, I live in buffalo and we just got 7 feet of snow. In order to address the rubbing I trimmed a very small piece of plastic at the bottom of each of the front wheel wells, and used a heat gun to massage the fender liners, I now have no more rubbing.

Rather than pay hundreds for a TRD skid plate, I took the OE one down, cleaned it, and painted it myself..



Agreed. I dont off road but if I did I would upgrade

 

You my friend are a genius! Hopefully not too many had to look up EVH

 

Thanks for sharing. I too had the VLED license plate light on my short list, but after seeing this I may need to reconsider. Do you have any pictures of the light output? Any issues with the install? Thanks!

 

Yeah, I don't plan on doing anything more intense beyond a weekend fishing trip or tailgate camping. At most, a very easy trail ride, but I'm not going crawling by any stretch. If I was, yeah, I'd consider an upgrade, but nothing right now to justify the TRD (or any other high cost aftermarket upgrade) skid. I posted on the tacoma subreddit, and got mildly annoyed at a few comments that seemed to be based in some elitist mentality... But hey, my truck my rules, lol.

 

So I used a bic lighter to heat the light brackets. Tore off the 3 m backing hit it again with the lighter and pressed for 20 seconds. It’s in the sun now. Job done I hope

 

Gotta do our part to continue the legacy. Appreciate it bud!

 

Added a Rockford Fosgate T1S2-10 in an Audio Enhancers Ported Enclosure built for the Tacoma. Super tight fit.

 

I have Cplay2Air in all 3 of my toyos - works like a charm, sure the Chinese gubmint is probably stealing my info, but I mean, so is Apple and Google.
