What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think they meant @KBVoodoo https://www.kbvoodoo.com/

 

Got my free upgraded BD sae fog lights back on Sunday afternoon.
I was going to wait and install them in my new bumper when I get around to installing it.
However, that idea fell victim to my wanting to see how they worked.

 

Looks like it's angled more. That looks like how mine should be.

 

I did remove the 14mm bolt.. my next step was to put it back in after squaring the sliders up to the frame.

 

Before you go calling anyone about parts made incorrectly. That tab is thin and can bend during shipping.

I would suggest you first compare the tabs on both the sliders to see if one is clearly off. Which would help in identifying a bent tab. They could also both be bent, so take that into consideration. I would force the install by removing the 14mm bolt from the frame, place the slider as close as possible and jack into place with the floor jack. Use the weight of the truck. That will bend the tab into position where you can align the rest of the bolts.

Bent tabs are common with any company and common with any one who spends time in the garage. Don't over think it.
If you want to get them on you will.

 

Where can i purchase it from? Looking at the layout it appears you use the lower air intake box and just toss the cover and old tube assembly and just install this kit over the top and re use the clamps and install the new air filter as well, am I correct?
I found it on Amazon for like 340.00 for the kit, but will keep looking for a better price before i commit to it.

 

Good morning Everyone,
so I work with this girl at Home Depot, she drives a 2019 SR% and she recently had it fixed after an accident, now i don't know if she is driving her truck wrong and or she is just straight up clueless, but she seems to think now that the truck is lagging in power and she is getting horrible gas mileage. i asked when it was tuned up last, she said last year.

any suggestions?

 

Nice job, so what about the little scratches, I'm sure there will be more over time, where did you get the extra usb adapter? and was it an easy install? I want to relocate mine as well so i don't have to reroute the cable for apple car play. I am really tired of the wire strung up over my dash.

 

that seems to good to be true, the highest miles to empty i have seen on my truck is 344 now all i see is 320.

 

Had my cab mounts redone by @drtfabrication on Saturday. Then had to go out and test them on Sunday at Four Peaks, ha. Had them replaced after breaking the DIY version that had been installed for 3+ years. Truck oddly feels more stable, ha. Hammer hangers and cross bar are next on my to do list. Derik's work is just fire!

 

I found someone who did sort of the same thing and bought a part from ali express and a part from Amazon. I posted the links here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/moving-data-usb-to-top-of-dash.803844/#post-28863399

It was really easy. The worst part was drilling the hole to the right side. Everything else was plug and play. Unscrew the head unit, swap connection, put it all back.

 

Your engine sounds louder. It also depends on what you replace it with. From what I understand the resonance stuff it's suppressing keeps stress from being put on the intake parts of your engine and other bits involved with how the air moves into the cylinders. I replaced my intake with a S&B intake and my V6 woke up in a big way especially at higher RPMs. I forget its a truck sometimes.

 

That’s all correct— only addition is that it comes with replacement end which they call an intake flow accelerator(looks like the tip of an individual throttle body) that replaces the stock end that looks like an ice cream scooper(best description I could come up with haha).

That sounds like the best deal out there that I could find brand new— I got mine used.

 

Thank you, i will order mine up this weekend and let you know how it goes.

I attached a picture what is sold in the kit on Amazon

 

yes these are the 5 degree. and install was kind of easy I guess you can say. I did it by myself. Used a bucket and a jack to help me lift it. The only hard part is reaching your arm inside the frame with the brake line(driver side) in the way to get the washer and nut on.

 

from what I year the design changed. I ordered these back in March

 

Thank you! Lots more planned over the remainder of the year. Next up is a TS Carbon Fiber hood and the Injen Evo Cold Air Intake w/Dry Filter. End of the year new Rough Country Low Profile Hard Tri-fold Tonneau Cover. And the mods keep comin!!

 

In my recent experience, the lead times on the site are optimistic. Yet earlier this year my sliders came early. RCI has a nice factory but only so many people; I think a total of 2 in sales/customer service. And my guess is they make things in batches. I did get my skid just in time as I'm hitting the trail on Wednesday. I'm not expecting to need it, but I have it for those things you don't expect! Beat the &(*! out of my 4Runner's OEM skid so I wanted more protection.

 

I installed this S&B air intake about a month ago. My V6 sounds like a totally different engine with it installed. Slightly better fuel economy as well. The filter is cleanable and just needs to be oiled lightly and put back on after a clean.

The longer and additional box intake that pulls air from the front can be taken off in hotter weather to keep the air a little cooler.

I love this thing. Yes my engine bay is dusty
