What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I originally got my first set from taco clout but i hated the piss color bsm light. So I took the oem ones out of the old mirrors but when I went to take the bsm out of the taco clout one it messed up the mirror behind the bsm spot. I kind of knew where he got it from and eventually I found it on aliexpress and ordered a new set for $60. Originally taco clout was the only place i saw it available.

 

Installed oem splash guards

 

Suma performance came out with them in 2019 which is what taco clout is actually selling. It’s suma performance mirrors

 

I had suma performance mirrors on my 2015 wrx.

 

Yeah they’ve been out for a while but when they made turn signal+ bsm+ versions for the 3rd gen models. That was 2019

 

Nice. I run a rack, tent, etc about 6 months of the year so I went with “option 2” and it’s been fantastic. Had some squeaking initially but lubed them up and haven’t had any issues since.

 

Yeah i saw suma had it too but didnt like the big arrow turn signals

 

@chuam

I don't mean to worry you...not sure how the length affects the inner workings of oil flow in the engine.

It seems the body and internal elements look the same as the Plastic OEM.

The internal clips/spring that keep the centerpiece in-place look identical.

Why the filter needs to stand taller than the center piece is unknown to me.

Maybe pointing a flashlight inside the crevice area can reveal what type of clearance there is for the higher center piece?

If you've been driving without any issues, maybe we are over-thinking this...but the fact that part number for the OEM aluminum is for other than Tacomas keeps the hesitation alive.

 

Ive been running mine for over 20k miles, no issues.

 

Thanks for the heads up.

Suma is what I have on the 2nd gen, this is good to know, I was worried these would be lesser quality.

 

Got my side windows tinted to match the Access Cab door and ARE truck cap windows. I always thought window tinting was a waste if money but it really does keep heat out and improves privacy.

 

Just received my Hi-Lift base, mounting kit for the bed and handle keeper for my Hi-Lift jack which should be here tomorrow ……..

 

Just got some new parts straight from Japan. Super happy with these that it even came with a free gift. (Which I know it ain’t free because of the price I paid for them) other then that I love how the Goodyear logo is not a sticker but made like that.

 

How do you plan on mounting the base?

 

thats alot of blue

 

So you finally did it!

 

I just emailed MESO asking about availability and they were able to find me one and invoiced it and shipped it today. Might be worth a shot?

 

The base just adds stability to the Hi-Lift in most situations.
