What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Okay, I didn't do this today but I forgot to post it yesterday.
I took my truck in to the dealer and had the BSM system fixed under warranty. (extended just paid for itself)
Turns out there was a tsb for it so they replaced both bsm sensors $$$$.
Just for info, it was T-SB-0063-19 for 2016-2019 trucks.

 

Those painted steelies look bad ass! For a moment I thought I was looking at a non-US market Hilux
(it's so green where you are it could be Australia, mate )

 

I like it. Probably on the only PIO (beside all weather floor liners) that is worth it. I plan to get one for my truck.

 

Easy install?

 

This is a dumb thread, especially for someone a week or so away from getting a truck. Imagine the list of farkles I have amassed while I'm still trying to decide between short bed, long bed, silver or lunar rock. I should stop reading these posts...but I can't

 

Thx. I almost painted my wheels white, which I still think would look great, before I decided to color match. I think being compared to a Hilux is such a compliment as I really dig those Aussie utilitarian vehicles. As far as the grass, that's due to the weather here in the Piedmont of NC as the warm weather grasses have completely taken over my property. And I can tell you it take a hearty little diesel tractor to get it mowed!

 

Have been using Bosch Icons on all of our vehicles for decades. Love the beam style, especially when the rain, wind and snow kicks in here in the PNW. They stay stuck to the windshield whatever the weather. Replace them every year but they could probably go a lot longer. They are dead-easy to install as well... R&R both sides in less than a minute.

 

For my RCI engine skid I used flooring hard knee pads to balance the hakf not in my hands and wormed under the truck. Worked well enough.

 

The horde compels you.

 

Many explain "peddle commander" this way ...

A computer processes the input from the skinny pedal to make the best strategy for the engine and transmission response. Peddle Commander tries to out-guess the computer based on the driver usage-history and the way the computer might react so tried to make the best physical input to the skinny pedal.

They describe the final product as "more than a little confusion".

So I have heard.

 

Does insurance reimburse the lost "beer cellar" stock in case of an accident?

 

I like my pedal commander. It increases throttle response by increasing voltage output. That's it.
I found it best to find a setting you like and leave it there. Reset the computer and let the truck learn your driving from that setting.
Constantly switching modes confuses the ecu and troubles arise. IMO

 

Yes, I remember the same things. Also, back then if you had black emblems it meant you had the base model with black plastic emblems. Chrome or gold emblems meant you had the premium model, lol.

 

True.

 

I redesigned and released all new QuikFix™ "safe" spacers for rear brackets of front seats (2nd gen/3rd gen/FJ Cruiser). Brackets sit in the spacers securely instead of on top of flat spacers.

 

depends on how well paid your lawyer is.

 

Installed 1320 bed stiffeners. Overall super happy with the product.

 

Super nice! Do these work with the new power seats?

 

I like these.. stinks you don't retain the swivel D ring... I'm looking for a set that retains that d ring and also comes up high like these.

 

All 2005-2023 Tacoma models. Neighbors son is 6' tall and has them in his Off Road with power seats. My son is 6' tall and has them in his 2012 Taco.
Before the front bracket spacer people start the bashing I want to say that mine, for the rear, are not a "cool mod". I have been making rear spacers since 2019 with over 3300 sales (the original style). I made them originally for my 3rd gen Sport which killed my back after any long drives. I made front ones 1st that made my seats more uncomfortable. I trashed the front spacer idea before anyone else made them for Tacoma. I researched seat pan angles using information from Osteopaths and Chiropractors worldwide. 2 of my best customers are Chiropractors. What is recommended is that your hips should sit level with your knees, or slightly higher or lower, while in a vehicle for the most healthy seat posture. For most people that requires elevating the rear of the seat. People buy thousands of seat wedge cushions every month for the same results. For drivers with long legs they may require thigh support which is accomplished with front bracket spacers. The correct spacers are based on individual needs. If you are comfortable in your seats then you do not need seat spacers.
