What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

$50 Motorola MA1 , The Only Google Authorized Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter, Smartphone to Screen Wireless Bridge Car Accessories, USB Type-A

Motorola MA1. It has worked flawlessly. Get in the truck and it auto connects the phone and launches Android Auto without fail. Maps are up and phone is displayed.

 

Added a bike mount to the 3rd rail and also a bed step.

Been debating on a bed step. Whatcha think so far? Is that an OEM or AMP?

 

Not so much today, but this past week I got a new transfer case, thanks extended warranty! Still st the dealer since 4wd still isnt working!

 

The Wheel Deal is a nice addition to your setup. It is a side-rail mount for the front wheel.

Brought her home yesterday and started the mods. So far all I’ve done is put all weather floor mats in and a center console tray. Today it’s a bed mat, Lomax tonneau cover, dash cam, door sill guards, and Screen Protech. Busy day but I’ve been looking forward to this for months!

 

Hi ClassyTacos,
If you hear back from Harbor Freight about a 2 ton version of their off road jack, please let me know. I could handle a 50 pound jack, but I'm too old and weak to lift 70 pounds.

 

doesn't look like that works for quick release hubs. thru-axle only.

all my bikes are to ancient for new age gadgetry!

 

I kept telling my wife that the money I spent on bikes and skis was way less than on anything with a sail or a motor.

Now she’s looking at me sideways when I spend money on the Tacoma afraid I’m going to do something big!

 

Found these white silicone rubber bands on a couple usb cables i bought few months back. Been looking at them a while, decided to install on volume/tuner control knobs. OMG!! This is how a knob should come from factory. I was going to say, this is how a knob should feel. But it didn't sound like good English.

Btw, found similar on Amazon, in black, in 10mm x 12mm, x .2inch. Pretty sure same size as these white ones I'm using here.

I wish I could split ship an order, 200 pcs?? Gads

 

Got my ARE Classic Shell installed. It took about 9-10 weeks to come in. These are just some quicky shots I did at the installers.

 

funny thing is I have one LOL didn’t even think to use that SMH.

 

Copy that. I’m in the same situation.

These sure are nice though. Plus they are made by a TW member.

Beauteous

 

Wife: “ what’s that in the box”?
Me: A knock off TRD skid plate.
Wife:” How much is that gonna cost me?”
Me: Not a damn thing.
Wife: “uh huh”.

 

How were they to remove after that long?
I’ve heard they can be a bit of a bear?

 

Sleeping in the cab during a Canadian road trip. Forecast says -40 C possible, will try to avoid stopping in those sections. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/c...ld-filters-onto-the-prairies-50-c-is-possible

Any other tips for Tacomas in the cold? I got a dual battery so hopefully it can start without a heater? Maybe I just leave it running at that point. I have lived in Southern California my whole life, I might die

 

This is the first time I have seen a visual image of the song.... "Well it's 40 below and I don't give a f* I got a heater in my truck and Im off to the rodeo...

 

A bit. Removing the decal wasn’t bad using a heat gun carefully and working slowly to do your best to keep the decal in one piece. As you will find searching here and YouTube, the fun starts with any residue left behind – which, for me, was a lot. Took a combination of rubbing alcohol, goo gone, microfiber towel, my thumbnail, elbow grease and time. Many posts will say easy peasy with this solvent or that eraser wheel, but it all depends on how much residue is left and what you have on hand (or want to buy) to attack it. I didn't want to use acetone.
