What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey what trim piece are you using for the Auxbeam control panel?

 

New 2" lift, Stage 2 Deaver springs, Accutune UCA, Fox Elite DSC front and rear, Westcott designs rock sliders

 

I’m using the Guild Outfitters panel.

 

Very detailed write up and easy to understand. I put one of these in my Tacoma two or so years ago. I also encountered some of the same struggles you did. One in particular from my experience is the top cover piece for the handle itself never wanted to seat properly. Even if it looked and felt like it was in place, it would fall right back out pretty quick. I ended up putting a dab of super glue in there and that did the trick. Not enough to totally seal it permanently, but just enough to keep it in there. Given others' experience with these KTJO products, it's possible I got one that wasn't made exactly to 'spec'. Otherwise I've loved having it in my Tacoma. One of the more worthwhile additions in my opinion.

 

Thanks for that info! I will be sure to look over everything again. How hard did they hit you and what were they driving? This car was so low it didn’t even touch my bumper. That was originally what had me pissed off bc I posted last year a door dash driver backed into me and ruined my tailgate, taillight and side panel but this time my bumper didn’t even look scratched.

 

Why did you have to remove the disconnect the battery? Does it impede with your line of sight ?

 

That’s typically done to avoid any accidental airbag deployment.

 

So is KTJO good now? Was interested in the power folding mirrors but after reading all the drama with KTJO decided not to.

 

I got the auto up/down window switches from KTJO last year and they've been great.

 

I have the drivers grab handle, the 2 rear grab handles and the on screen display from them and they all are good. No issues with any of them.

 

I added some courtesy lights that turn on when the truck is unlocked. I used the VLED footwell lights as the trigger into a relay. The relay is on a 5A circuit to then power a simple LED strip attached to step bar.
Here is a quick video of the functionality.

 

Overall how hard was that for a beginner. I’ve always thought letting a shop do it is best bc they have a warranty and accountability on their work

 

This picture was the sole reason I went out and purchased my JBLs back in the day. I believe those are the century L-100s

 

Nice ! Yea brings back memories for me to

 

Someone buy my shocks

Another relaxing week of camping with my spouse, my dog and my Taco.

 

Installed a Kenwood X802-5 amp under the drivers seat. Don't think I want to do this again.. Just powering the factory non-JBL speakers for now.

 

Your doggo really looks like he needs a treat or something

 

Dog bed installed. Lo Star front skid plate, alignment, and 33s. Spare tire is in bed not underneath. Factory tonneau cover installed. Just need some gas and ready to hit some trails out west.

 

Prepped paint, then added ceramic coating. I know darker colors would show better, but still shows some reflection even on white.
