What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mod #2.... hurricane be damned! Not the best but, I like that the hold downs fit in the tie down tracks and, the cross members are bowed up.

 

Added RSI Smartcap EVOa, Total Chaos bed stiffeners and A/C drain mod. Still waiting on the RCI Rocksliders. I am noticing the weight. I'm interested on how bad a hit my MPG took.
Also got the aluminum table. Never know when you'll need a table.

 

Do you have it listed anywhere? I might be interested. I'm in Virginia.

 

Towed my buddy’s Harley home after he sheared a bolt holding his front fork on the way to work. He got sprayed with shock oil pretty good too

 

Installed the Rav4 knobs on the radio. Soooo much better.

Ordered from McGeorge Toyota (Richmond, VA) (Yeah, I already installed the knobs. Photo for part number reference.)




Same shaft size. Pop out the black insert from the back side of the Rav4 knob. EZ-PZ.




Before: Knobs made for pre-schoolers.




After: Rav4 knobs - no longer drift off the side of the road while trying to adjust the volume.

 

Nice! Just ordered the same today from Manhattan Beach Toyota via eBay. Happy to get rid of the puny knobs.

 

Got around to doing a thorough wash / scrub down of the bed. I can basically eat off my bed mat now... This will last a solid 5 minutes at least.

 

I ended up going with this one

I haven’t used it yet but it fits perfect behind the seat to
When and if it does Die I will pony up and get a nicer one like yours

 

Mine was only $79. Works perfect.

I remember looking at that one, went with Harbor Freight because of warranty etc.

Cheap isn’t necessarily bad, mine has done probably 10 air ups and hasn’t faultered. It does get hot if ambient temp is like 100’

 

Opinions wanted.

What happened to my coolant? I was expecting to see pink under the cap. Is there a serious issue, possibly? Which fluid shall I perform the flush with? 53k miles, bought December 2019.

Tia.

 

I actually like yours better but I was lazy and on Amazon one night and the price was right so went with it. I think they all get hot though not a big deal to me but we need to let them cool off before they go behind the seat I would imagine

 

@TheFactor the suspense is killing me, did you get your truck back yet?

 

Isn't that how Harleys usually get from place to place?

Nice of you to help out a friend.

 

Doooh!

 

Anyone know if the Gen 3 2023 Tacomas recalibrate the speedo automatically after changing tire size Or do you have to have it recalibrated ?

 

Unless you have a GPS speedo built into the truck to compare it, or a way to enter the new tire data to the chassis computer, I doubt it.

 

It’s killing me to lol
Looks like the wheels won’t be here until tomorrow
So I probably won’t pick it up until tomorrow afternoon. Depending if the wheels arrive or not I might be getting it with the stock wheels and tires tomorrow. I was going to have them mount the 33’s on the stock wheels and run spacers until the new wheels arrived. But tracking shows them to arrive tomorrow so I’m just going wait so I don’t have to pay twice for mounting and balancing. Since now I know they should be here quicker then I thought.

 

Yes, compressing air makes results in a lot of heat, decompressing it makes things really cold. Have you ever touched a CO2 cannister after filling a bike tire/shooting pellets etc.? Don't.

 

Yea I heard some of the new Tundras automatically recalibrate so was hoping the 23 taco did also. I have a Garmin so I’ll check and see if it adjusts or not. Next upgrade might be the OT so hoping maybe there might be a option for tire size changes when getting the tune.

 

Don’t think I want to
