What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

remove driver side your taillight, the wiring is clipped into the sheet metal

 

Apparently 19’s don’t have pre wire started on 20’s

 

Remove your taillight and check. Its only two bolts and some tugging.

 

what kind of dash is that is that material?

 

Couple of options for the earlier years...

DRT Fabrication CMR completed by Fabzone Armor!

 

Is that a custom dash/material or just the lighting?

 

I think I learned about it here on TW… the blank caps were installed in the bed and while learning about my new to me truck I saw some stuff in this thread, and maybe from Chloe Kuo’s YouTube channel. I got them from Running 4 Tacos and while researching the lights & installation on their website they mentioned the wiring harness.

 

yep no question TW has pretty much all the info you need. I’ve had my truck one year and have learned so much from all the guys on here

 

Anybody find /recommend Tuning service in Houston
Thanks

 

Suddenly…The Tacoma World Cantina fills the air with 4 big puffs of their finest Indica…Topanga Taco’s watching a baseball game intently…*the Indica takes control*…….”With a solid hit, Topanga Taco rounding 1st AND the ball gets past the center fielder! Topanga Taco digging in like he’s locked rounding second base!”

(Can’t wait to slide home FTW!!!!)

 

Just curious why you used an oil weight not recommended by the MFR? Love some insight, thanks...

 

Installed Rago Fabrication bed rail mounts for my cheapo Ace hardware shovel, fire extinguisher and hi-lift. There is just enough room between the shovel and the locking mechanism for my Diamondback cover to allow to the top to close and latch.

 

Looking good! Where did you find the larger battery box? TIA

 

Installed the “Z precision” large size cup holder. Very happy with it- now my big Yeti waterbottles fit in there with ease. Highly recommended easy upgrade.


The old one:

 

How difficult was the installation?

 

Added some push/pull handles to my diy bed slides, i had paracord handles which worked great for pulling but not for pushing them back in. Put some L track in each corner with some studs so they are easily removable if need be. Turns out bars from a kids monkey bar swing set were the perfect width.

 

I live in a hotter climate mainly.
It’s within the MFG specs for the rest of the world. 0W20 is used for MPG purposes mainly, which I’m not concerned with.
I like the additive pack that comes along with the 5W30 flavor of the Valvoline EP.
Make the engine seem smoother/quieter.
And lastly, cause I can.

Running 5W30 can be quite controversial around here. At the end of the day, it’s a Toyota.

 

Thanks! I'm thinking of moving up too, was curious about why other's did it.
