What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think they're a fairly new product. Good replacement to get me out of the raptor light club as well, lol.

 

Installed Diode Dynamics backlit SSC2 Pro ditch lights. Happy with the output and small profile.

 

Nice! I like the way you set up some 'fog' for the picture too!

 

Replaced the wipers on a 3 month old truck because my dumbass tried to force the wipers when I knew they were frozen to the windshield xmas eve and tore the rubber. So...reluctantly ran to Advanced Auto to fix my mistake.

 

I hate that, happened to me all the time in Ohio. I'm still on OEM wiper blades at 45,000 miles, and they are as good as new--NO streaking at all.

 

Installed the new Cali Raised LED catalytic converter shields that were dropped off this afternoon.
Love the simplicity of the install and Black Friday price tag. Literally 1/2 the price of others out there.
The quality impressed me, I was expecting much thinner metal.
Shields are clearly marked driver and passenger, their install video made things much easier.

 

The tail lights

 

Changed oil at 45076 miles. Mobil 0w20, filter...

 

I used the J.C. Whitney catalog to buy many parts to rebuild my '65 VW bug back in the day. I remember getting a muffler for around $12 and complete seat covers, front and back, for a little over $20

 

i still feel like it's false advertising, them selling things without LED's installed.

 

Do you have a link to the install video?

 

Just installed the dash cam mini that my lady gifted me for Christmas!

 

Here ya go! Just scroll down a bit.

They did such a fantastic job on these. There's a reason they are a leader in this space

 

Mother Nature provided all the fog that was needed, damn foggy night it was.

 

Hopefully they come out with a Manual specific model.
I was really temped to get these but after seeing the gaps on the manual transmission Tacomas I will just keep my current MillerCat shield.

You can see the gap in post 301 in this thread
CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHIELD FITS 2016 - 2022 TACOMA

 

Added Toyota OEM remote locking tail gate lock, Toyota OEM Bed Lights, Toyota OEM Bed Mat, Tri-Fold bed cover and a Ranch Hand Grill / Front Bumper Guard. Doing Dr.CarNow Set Covers, Toyota OEM Mud Flaps and Sokietech Hood Shock Struts. Thats all I plan on doing..........

 

Hang around here; we can change your mind! And it'll be fun.

 

Looking into the Meso stage 1 taillight kit- says I may need a load resistor. I have a 2023 Sport. How will I know if I need one?

 

I installed flush mounted cornering lights (at 45°) using Baha Designs S1 LED lights.



I considered using A-Pillar mounts or mounting directly on the bumper. Bit I wanted lights that were not "sticking out" so much. I couldn't find anything flush mounted so I designed a set and printed them on my 3D printer.

Designing a mount that conformed to this position required a lot of trial and error due to the intersection angles of the bumper.

The real work (of course) was the wire harness using

$18 ZhiYo 100 FT 1/4” Wire Loom Split Tubing Auto Wire Conduit Flexible Cover

wire loom split tubing,

$16 Keco 100ft – 1/2" PET Expandable Braided Cable Sleeve – Wire Sleeving for Audio Video and Other Home Device Cable Automotive Wire - Black

Expandable Braided Cable Sleeve, and

$14 XFasten Wire Harness Tape, 3/4" x 50-Foot (5-Pack), High Temp Wiring Loom Harness, Self-Adhesive Felt Cloth Electrical Tape for Automotive Engines, Noise Dampening, and Cable Protection

XFasten Wire Harness Tape.

The plan is for each cornering light to be controlled separately or at the same time.

The larger project is a switch panel to control each of 9 separate external lights independently using a switch panel in the center console.


Top center: Front LED light bar
Top corners: Left and right cornering lights on the bumper
Sides: Left and right side lights on the A Pillar
Rear corners: Left and right side lights on the ARE cap
Rear center: reverse light in bumper
Center: Rock lights

So today was just getting the wire harness built, connecting all the relays and mounting these cornering lights. This took all day...
