What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

After months of procrastination, I FINALLY put the steering wheel trim from AJT on to match the rest of my interior. Super happy about how it turned out

 

Has anyone bought this? They look to be the same just different branded. Obviously the Amazon is cheaper than Pairr

 

Oh, I miss the Canadian Rockies. Beautiful. At least I have my own bit of the Rocky Mountains in my back yard.

 

I think there are many brands with similar innards. I have one called "AutoBox" on the package and "GiWiOS" on the item. It works fine, but I find I don't use it much at all as it's just one more thing to deal with (it takes a few seconds to connect and just as often I'm using Sirius XM. I'd sell it to you for $20 plus a couple bucks to ship it. It looks like this one:

Wireless CarPlay Adapter, giwios 3.0 CarPlay Wireless Adapter Online Update Plug & Play(Car Model:2017 to 2022) with 2.4G/5GHZ Dual-Band WiFi Only for Factory Wired CarPlay, Faster Pair for i os 12-16

That doesn't have the greatest ratings so you probably wouldn't want it anyway.

 

Started cleaning out the taco in preperation to sell for the 4th gen. will post pictures when im done

 

I have the Ottocast on sale from Amzn. It’s reliable just a bit of lag when controlling the buttons which was expected. But connects really fast. You can probably watch my :48 seconds video review from there.

Did you buy an aftermarket one or a Toyota Oem unit?

 

Yes the mountains are gorgeous but it's been really cold and snowy here this winter. Even too cold to ski, board, or play hockey on outdoor rink.
I always thought Colorado was great. Especially Denver and area. I skied in Vail once. Best day ever!

 

I had SS3 yellow Pros without backlit but sold it here and now I’m running the yellow elites with backlit. They’re not as bright but has a slightly wider beam and sharper cutoff. Also, looks OE and tinted.

 

I’d take a at least a year cleaning that guy out… the new Tundras took a year to get outta “limp” mode.

 

Ahh I see, are you happy using them w the OEM LED headlamps?

 

Yes, I do. I think they compliment each other.

 

I think it’s pretty good for price, it does its job of keeping things out of sight and seals decently well. No issues putting it, there is gap at the front header rail which all Tacos have but they provide some weatherstripping….which isn’t quite right so I just sealed it instead with black silicone. All in all, I’m happy with it.

 

Received my 6112/5160s. I have the ECGS bits to tackle that as well. Now to find time to do the install....

 

Got the RetraxPro XR installed. Wanted the T-slots.

I have about 4-5 additional things coming for the interior, but I’m trying to not buy anything else until I move in the next month and a half.

 

I got this from aliexpress and its been working great for me. Had it a few months now

 

Just picked up this one based on some comments here. lightning deal + 10$ off rn

 

I checked my air pressure in all four tires today.

 

Yep that’s the part. If you slide your Tacoma oil filter on that shaft you’ll notice the shaft extends past the top of the filter by more than an inch. When you replace the shaft from new metal housing with the shaft from the old plastic housing, the shaft actually sits below the top of the filter.

If you buy from Amazon/EBay just be sure who you’re buying from is legit.
