What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's basically putting the guts of a FOB controller in the overhead and wiring it to a button. One option is to wire it to a 12V-3V transformer for constant power, but I opted to install a battery holder.

This is the thread I used as the basis for the mod.

There are more threads available by searching for "garage opener" in the thread titles.

 

No, I have a 2017.

 

I did a similar mod to connect a wireless remote to my Paradox security system. That is the link that I got the original idea from

 

Bought the cv boot rebuild kit and rebuilt my cv axle that was leaking today I’ll rebuild the passenger side tomorrow. Pretty nice kit recommended by another on the site. Replaced rings, boots, grease and clamps(pain in the ass without the right tools)
Also replaced this inner and outer tie rod tonight. Ran out of time but plan on doing passenger side tomorrow night..
since I’ve gotten this truck I swear I find stuff to do just so I can wrench on it
Ended the night with oil change and realized it didn’t need it once I started draining.. 7500 miles Mobil 1 extended performance and still looked fresh and installed a fumoto valve

 

Looks great! What clip? Rears too?

 

Just the drivers seat. At least for now.

my wife got home from work late so didn’t get a chance to have her actually sit in the truck before I left for work myself. I’ll have her sit in the drivers seat in the next day or two and make a post about it.

 

I’m 6’3 with a 34in inseam (and generally those pants are slightly short) and the front seat jackers help take pressure off my knees and legs greatly. I can’t imagine putting rear ones on and really flattening the seat out.

 

Thank you!

Yep, 5100’s in the rear as well. The front is set to the 5th perch.

 

Got it. The electric seat works for me, but the wife never drives the Taco so they'll just go on the passenger side.

 

I'm excited for me and my wife's dreams to come true. Never like the concept of rtt on my truck and we got one of a kind. My wife and I have worked so hard in life and finally we get our chance .

 

Bruh! That thing is amazing! Congrats!!

 

Nice setup, enjoy it.

 

Those look good! I’ve seen the American flag colors on a black truck in person, never seen the black and grey version though

 

That’s how mine is but I’m debating on taking theV6 off entirely to clean up the tailgate

 

Manual seats?

 

That's a really nice setup. Enjoy the adventures!!

 

Electric

 

@ITmaD nice touch, subtle but very attractive looking grill. Definitely more rugged looking.

 

What size water heater and who's and what size box
thanks

 

I ended up finding them on https://parts.elmhursttoyota.com/ and I paid $230.75 a piece which was a steal compared to what my local dealer quoted me, even still after I paid for shipping. I also got the TRD center caps from Elmhurst for $27.50 a piece.
