What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

So, I know you mentioned you were on the fence about doing this yourself vs. taking it to a shop. Now that it is done, if you had to do it all over again which would you choose? I have the same kit in my garage waiting to be installed is why I ask. Just trying to decide if I want to tackle it myself.

 

After 70K on the originals, I finally got some new shoes for my Tacoma! The stock tires were 245/75/16 Firestone Destination LE2's. Even at 70K they still had a little bit of tread life, but I didn't want to push it too far. Getting that many miles out of tires rated for 52K was really nice. I opted to go a touch bigger and a tad more aggressive on the new ones. After reading and watching a lot of reviews, I went with Firestone Destination A/T2's at 265/75/16, white letters out. My steering wheel was slightly off center as well so I had an alignment done too...problem solved. Hoping these tires will last a good while!

 

I just picked up the Driver-Side Dash Mount to use with an old phone set up with the OBD Fusion app. I also picked up the Stealth Power Port from Taco Garage so I can power it. I'm trying to figure out if I need to get a flat USB cable to fit between the trim panels or if a standard round cable will work. Either of you have any insight here? I'm having a heck of a time finding a flat USB cable that is long enough and doesn't have crap reviews on Amazon.

 

I get 14 to 18 MPGs with mine. Supercharged, too. I made a custom front fairing @FlatbedTaco but I didn't do a before and after comparison to know if it actually helps MPGs. Butt dyno says Yes!

 

I did the same thing, I also purchased the Tailgate lock too, if they can get it open , this stops them from taking the tailgate off. $ 30.00

 

I just ran my cable back to the a-pillar. Only a short distance so minimal cable is exposed. Once you get it there it is easy to route it where it needs to go while keeping it out of sight.

 

Installed a TRD intake flow accelerator. Cheap mod so I figured I'd give it a try and it only took a few minutes to install.

Also, cut and sealed off the running light wire from the DD SSC1 Hitchmount Pod.

 

Why did you not like the running light?

 

I'm not interested in having another running light, mostly for aesthetics. I didn't think the C1 had one and I purposely purchased it over the C1R as I didn't want a running light or another brake light. It was an easy fix though.

 

Yeah that was the first thing I put on. Not a stopper by any means but definitely a deterrent

 

Any Feedback on change in driving experience?

 

it will be getting a roof rack soon we will see if i get my .5

 

It does pretty well! thank you

 

New tires today! 265/75/r16 Ultraterrain!

 

I got these ones on Amazon for $400 instead of spending 1k on oem ones

 

Man that look fantastic!! Should have came from the factory that way instead of chrome. I may see about going this route after seeing yours. Thank you

 

Had to take my passenger seat out for a DEEP clean (thanks to my cat that gets nervous on car rides)

 

Cats don't love trucks, that's dogs.

 

You could be the first to post "added a litterbox to my Tacoma".

 

Looks nice...
