What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What bolt is this? What kinda bit key do i need to loosen it if needed?
Used with CAT shield installation.

 

security hex bolt.

*edit*
My cat shield came with the security bits. If you bought one, it should have came with it also.

 

This was a dealership add-on .... emailed the salesman for this bolt/bit/key size info but no reply yet in case I need to remove it for whatever reason.

 

looks like security torx vs hex

 

Security Torx not sure what size though.

 

Installed Softopper. Ordered Monday showed up today. 2 days. Not bad at all. Said f it I’m putting it on.

 

yeah my bad, security torx.

check your tool pouch? I had them install something and they put the key where the tire iron and tools are kept under passenger rear seat.

 

If you have a Harbor Freight tools near by you can get a set of these security torx cheap.

 

If they are so easily available, it's not so secure after all. Still probably worth it as it will thwart some, and make many others move on to an easier target.

 

You could always put some gasket sealant in the ends to slow someone down? They'd have to take the time to remove/pick away the sealant.
I thought about putting JB weld on it, but decided I want to be able to remove it also lol

 

got my OTT tune scheduled with @RCTuningFL for 4/16!! cant wait, time can not move fast enough.. i guess it needs a tune too. If you are local in FL and want some OTT love, give him a holler Overland Tailor Tuning - OTT - Central / East Coast Florida - Orlando Melbourne Tampa Jacksonville | Tacoma World

 

Very excited for you.

April 16th will be here before you know it.

Please let us know what you think of the Tune.

Have you any idea which combination you'll do?

Start off with Mild/Medium...if you have a heavy truck, you may not feel the difference from stock weight.

 

For my bed tie downs, with a normal torx bolts, I've glued ball bearings into them to prevent easy theft when I chain my bikes in the bed.

 

More what I did FOR my Tacoma today: Managed to consolidate and organize the on-board tool setup:

 

Tinted the front windows to match the rears:

Before



After

 

Get ready for a new truck….did mine a month ago

started with mild (because spouse will daily drive it) and put aggressive mode in ECT button….
My tuner allowed me to take it for a drive and return for some tweaks

 

Looks like a medium sized vise grip.

 

I got my driver side grab handle installed. KTJO4x4 got mine to me in a short 16 months.

 

I installed these cheap LuckMan seat covers. $130. Pretty comfortable and decent

 

Nice looking!
