What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

LOL, it's an April fools joke. When I helped run another forum we did the same thing. It's a hack they put on in the background that edits the posts......

 

Added about 10 horsepower by switching out my valve stem covers to these bad boys - https://cruisergear.co/collections/vehicle-accessories/products/teq-valve-stem-caps

 

Found dirt trapped under the vinyl clear sticker by the rear wheel on the passenger side. Cut it out and added a necessary bandaid because I live in the rust belt. Tried to make unnoticeably cool. If you know you know.

 

Yeah, I went back and forth for a while but the slick painted looks a lot better, even with black

 

@xCaldazar that's a fantastic looking snorkel! Integrated makes it almost undetectable. Good Job!

 

Got a BAMF bumper on order. I've been searching but can't find the company that sells the blanks for below the headlights so I don't have to cut the plastic there. Any help?

 

RCI transmission skid and converter covers (free with plate in a recent promotion) arrived. Those ordered 5 days ago. Front skid plate ordered more than 2 weeks ago still pending ...

Transmission plate is no lightweight (even though I know what that weight feels like from other items in the house) ...

 

heh...
I wanted ANY color other than black.
Black is all they had. White is so much easier to take care of and doesn't show every flake of dust on the paint.

 

Are you talking about these?

That is the one! Thanks!

 

Amazon is confusing as usual. I entered my 23 Taco and Coverado says it fits, but Amazon says it doesn't (maybe because Access cab?) This is more something I would almost want to touch/feel before buying.

Many of the 1-star reviews say the material isn't leather?

 

You found a TH! Nice

 

First oil change since I’ve had the truck 84,910. Added a

$40 Fumoto F133N with LC-10 F-Series Large Body FUMOTO® Valve with Long Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for M12-1.25

Fumoto F133N and Toyota metal filter housing.

 

Replaced the license plate lights because their dingy yellow-ness not matching every other exterior light was hurting that small OCD part of my brain every time I looked at them.

 

Yeah your gonna wanna replace them . Get longer ones and cut them when install is all done , pretty much cut off what you don't need. Dude truck feels like I drove it off the lot first day. Super happy with the outcome . Well really you need to measure your flange on your transfer case , get the angle of degrees and measure the flange on your rear end flange to get the degrees minus the two. You want to be within 3° of each other. For example: my transfer case flange was 87° and my rear end pinion flange was 84°. With two outta leaves I was within three degrees of my transfer case flange and rear end flange. I'll include a link to some information to help you further diagnose what degree of shim you need. You will also need to know the length of your driveline.

Here's the link:

Let me know if this helps and works out for you.

 

Do you have the info where I can get parts needed? Valve, housing, etc? TIA..

How does the dealership erase your tune?
How do you prevent from happening?

 

Haha! I hope they think of a different joke next year. Annoying.

 

Your head unit has to support car play for an adaptor to work. The adaptor is a bluetooth connection that then passes the signals through the USB port. It doesn't add capabilities to the head unit; it just act likes a wire from your phone.
