What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks great man ! Yeah I noticed a bump in HWY Mpg also with my Bak-flip . But now that I lifted mine and went to 285’s it’s time for me to not look at the mileage anymore

 

At least they found it. Sounds like a big job too.

Yeah, I always grab a seat and wait for it to drive in lol.

 

Just say No!

 

Toyota tends to keep the pedal shape and size on their MT equipped cars fairly consistent... The IS300, IS250, MR-S use the same sport pedal pads for the clutch and brake.

 

Joseph Airport Toyota. They offered free shipping. I don’t remember exact price because I ordered them with something else. But about $300 shipped for the pair.

 

Installed the tailgate lock actuator, wash and wax.
I’m sure it’s been mentioned but the actuator for the DCLB is

$163 PK3B6-35JL0 Toyota Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Long Wheelbase Tailgate Lock PK3B6-35JL0

PK3B6-35JL0 for the super long wheelbase….. I made the mistake of searching for the long wheelbase which took me to the extra long wheelbase, in my infinite wisdom figured that that had to be it ! No, the extra long is the shortest length of wiring for this kit and the SUPER long is the longer of the two. Two days and an additional long drive back to Toyota and voilà! All’s well that ends well.

 

What about the gas pedal? I don't want to do 2 out of 3 pedals.

 

Installed the Sokie Tech hood struts. Changed the oil and replaced the oil filter cartridge that the service department damaged on my last free oil change at the stealership. They must use impact wrenches on everything.

 

Is this for the OP @davidk23 ?

 

Good catch. Yep, it was. I messed up on that one.

 

Detailing the new truck.

 

Install the Sony 9500es head unit today. Waiting on some last minute parts and then will eventually install a 5-channel amp.

 

Have you had to use these yet for recovery? I have the passenger side one. Never used it. Not 100% keen on it. Debating getting the ARB one or getting the driver's side and pulling from both points like you said to better distribute the load. But ARB just seems like cheap insurance if you ever really need the beefiness.

 

Gas pedal is used on the 06-13 IS250/350. I custom retrofitted it to work on mine.

 

Didn't even notice that they had metal pedals until you mentioned that lol. Thank you for the spotlight.

 

Now this is a look that I just can't get enough of. Love it man.

 

Gawd Damn <3

 

Well, I did this today. JBL Stage 3 6x9s (with sound deadening material inside the door). Along with the DS18 tweeters, it sounds pretty good. I got some video on my phone which, is not the best but, take a listen and see. I tried to show how this vibrates the rear view to illustrate how much "kick" these speakers have. I think they sound pretty damn good for $109 with the installation kit!

That looks clean!

 

Okay guys, important message here. I was spending the past 6 months or more getting 14.3 mpg, so finally I reset the ECU using the disconnect battery terminals and touch them together for 20+ minutes, well I had them connected for all afternoon-not that it made a difference...

So now, first time I've seen 18+ MPG on my dash since my KDMax tune!! Just took this pic below. I'm happy!!

So this tells me that now, I'm getting 4+ more MPG, and per tank that will be 80+ more miles! Whoa. What is the point of the 'learning' ability of driving habits of this motor? It seems more like a 'handicap' of the truck than a feature. The truck now feels more efficient as well, before the reset, I had to practically stomp the gas pedal from a stoplight, truck acted sluggish, now it rolls from a stop less congested.
