What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got around to putting the Scan Gauge II in my truck. I used 3M dual lock tape.

 

I’m not sure if you’ve seen this: https://thetrailhunters.com/shop/interior/scangauge-ii-mount-for-16-tacoma/

 

I did. I didn't care for the look. It looks cluttered.

And now looking at it again, I can angle the Scan Gauge to face me. I used two small pieces on the scan guage itself, and a long strip 3-4" to stick to the underside of the dash. I can reposition it at will.

 

I'm going to mount 2x panels on my pop-up camper with these brackets. Have never gone "off grid" so will be challenging.

 

No sound difference, I feel like there a bit better throttle response in my manual transmission.

 

Installed some seat jackers. I definitely feel more support on my legs. Note I also added half inch spacers on the back too.

 

I had ride-rites with daystar cradles on my last tacoma for a few years without any issues, have the exact same setup for my current truck just need to install them

 

What radio knobs are you using? I seem to always be having trouble gripping mine. Thanks

 

To TRD or Not to TRD?

 

I took out my winter weight, three 2'x2'x2" patio tiles, five sand bags and a set of tires chains along with my tool box. Probably 700lbs.

Now look at the stance LOL.

 

I'd have a hard time changing anything on such a good looking truck. But I get it.

 

Travel day today for work. Left Groton this morning and got home to my CaliRaised cat shields and ZPrecision cup holder. Just tossed that stuff on whilst having a cold one !

 

Rear-yes! Front-not so much - just MHO. But its your truck, do what you think is good!
Nice truck!!

 

No issues leaking?

 

Has anyone installed the blackvue camera with the blackboxmycar battery cell?
My truck is at the installer but he is having some serious issues.

 

@WarFab Armor tie rod sleeves installed l

 

Look good to me!!

 

Scene lights all around. BJD S2 Sport.

 

Initial impressions are very positive- the truck seems more stable through turns, feels like there’s less body roll. Axle wrap wise hard to say if it is in fact improved, but I knew this was a claimed benefit and I did feel like acceleration off the line was smooth and the truck felt very in contact with the road. Ride-wise, there wasn’t any added stiffness, still feels like a soft ride. I went Limited because I heard the TRD suspension is stiffer, I want as comfortable a ride as I can get from a Tacoma. I deliberately went over some railroad crossings with a little added speed, didn’t hear any noise or feel anything from the rear end.

I have them adjusted to 1mm between the coils which is good for about 25% added weight capacity. 2mm gets you about 40%. Time will tell if they need some adjustment, but I definitely like the fact that’s an option.

Disclaimer, this is a work truck, I have an off-road truck, this one will only see pavement, snow and the odd gravel road, but I’m not worried about suspension travel and have no idea how these would react.

They are installed/adjusted while the rear suspension is at full droop with no weight on the rear, so you likely keep the downward wheel travel just fine, don’t care to speculate what these do to uptravel.

I will report back if I see anything to update, so far I got what I suspected/wanted.

 

I fabbed up my own, wanted it to be as low-profile as possible since I often carry a canoe.
I also installed it with screws and nylon locking wing nuts so I could remove it easily and bring about 12 ft of extra cable to position it in camp to get the best light I can.
