What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks! It’s a pro comp 6”, full length Bilstein struts up front with OME 888 coil, 14” 5160s in the rear, Alcan 650lb 6” spring for the rear

Thank you!!

Appreciate it!!

 

thanks!!

 

What are your opinions on the SSO slimline vs the body armor bumper? And also bumper and winch before suspension lift? Or lift first them bumpers and winch?

 

If reading the owners manual is genius, I must be smarter than ol Al Einstein... LOL

of course he wasn't on Verizon so theres that...

 

How's you experience been with AliExpress? I used them years ago when living in Thailand but not from the US!

 

Modified my fuel and water can that I carry around on road trips.
Added a vent to the gas can and replaced the garbage spout with a vented spout, like they use in Canada or on water jugs.
And on the water jug I cut off the screw on vent and installed the same style vent I put on the gas can.

 

Tried to take the mirror blinker light apart to get the chrome out but was not successful. Not sure how its sealed together but the lens is so brittle.

 

@Taco22trdor

Wait, what?

Please tell me you're kidding.

I don't listen to local radio stations...I'm all about SiriusXM and Bluetooth experience.

Those are really cool lights, MAN!

Don't ruin it for me! lol

 

For fun and for some practicality, I made this cheatsheet and laminated it to keep in the truck. I am starting to do my own fluid changes and the card is to make it so I don't have to look up torque specs, socket sizes, etc. I put the estimated cost so I could tell my wife how much money I 'saved' each time I do my own maintenance....

 

OMG!! Like night and day!
I have been seriously researching information about brighter lights for my truck.


Do you get flashed at by on coming cars a lot?
Do you think the brighter bulb will eventually melt the headlight surround?

 

I did a bunch of cosmetic stuff:

• Used Predator Steps
• OEM Pro Black-Out Covers for Tacoma Badges
• OEM-like Pro-Grille with Army Green letters
• Glove-box Tacoma jewelry

The grille switch out went great. I got an OEM sensor cover from someone on TW. No warnings and adaptive cruise is working fine. Black looks great on this truck. Going to go to some pair of Pro wheels once I swap back to my summer tires.

 

Haven’t been flashed once.

As far as it melting, it might have been an mentioned somewhere that no one has experienced this as of yet. (I could be wrong).

@crashnburn80 Would be the pro to ask around these parts.

With that being said. It’s a great upgrade for us NON Led housing folk.

 

I'll return the favor by providing the link another member gave me just a few days ago:
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...11-projector-headlights.589465/#post-19689309

That particular post removed my concerns and communicated the tradeoffs. It is one post in a very long thread with tons of expertise.

 

Got a little creative with raptor lights and zip ties…

 

I'm thinking jack-o'-lantern. lol

Sorry man, that's the first thought that came into my cabeza.

 

All good. Having fun trying stuff out

 

Sweet Halloween look though

 

In general, positive. There are things I'll purchase on ebay when I need them quickly. The same items are often cheaper on AliExpress because some ebay sellers have to mark the items up. Some items on ebay are shipped from China, so I suspect the sources are the same.
Worth consideration. I've had good experiences thus far, only a few times experiencing appreciable delays. YMMV

 

First mod as always...tint all around including the sunroof.

 

These showed up today
