What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

MESO Steering Wheel Control Fix installed yesterday. The proper button orientation + the tactile feel of this is so nice with the extra indents so there's no guesswork in what button you're pressing. Very painless install but using a magnet to pull the T25's out of the airbag after unbolting helps a ton with having it release for an easy removal. Also put some felt tape between the steering wheel and trim to get rid of the plasticky creaking noise it had.

I leased my first Tacoma, 2016, I put about 42k on it before turning it in on a 2019 and I never had any issues with it and it ran great the whole time.

 

We have had a few customers email us that their shields were tested. Every time the he shield has won, minus a few battle scars.

It is the biggest reason I do not offer anything thinner, as if the thief does try to cut the shield off, I want them to be denied. I know in the Prius world there are pictures floating around of shields being cut off.

 

It was the small creases near the edges that I struggled with, but I went ahead and ordered sheets on Amazon and will do the exacto method, if nothing else I can just it to have some wrap around that won't show anyway to ensure coverage of the light

 

Had to retire the Meso OG's. Installed newer version from @MESO. Will work on building a custom, 1-of, set this winter. With the red lense they look very similar when off.

 

Awesome 3D mock-up

 

Right, I can't quite tell if he has a mini Tacoma to go with the normal sized one, or a massive Tacoma where he can park the real Tacoma on the tailgate.

(Except that the link to the mini-build gives it away. It's a fun thread to see).

 

howd you get a long bed version of the RC?!?!?!

 

Photoshop insert of the real Tacoma?

Alternate planes of reality intersecting with ours?

Mass hypnosis?

Those red/green pills I took this morning?

 

Has anyone done their own ECT relocation to the shifter without a pre-purchased kit or harness? I’ve given up on the two companies I see mentioned here often as they are rarely rarely in stock, if they are, I’ve never seen them since I purchased mine 3 years ago. I think one is a called meso and taco mods. I have some molex stuff, but not the connectors.

 

Sorry I wasn't able to post it, but I installed catshield yesterday!

 

Its a custom ordered build kit including the chassis.




You can see it here.

I relocated the ECT button in front of the E-brake.
Just needed to purchase an extension.

 

oh damn

 

AWESOME LOOKING TRUCK!!!

what kind of storage boxes are those on your rack (on the big truck) ?

 

They are all Pelican cases.

 

Luna had a spa day on Saturday.
Cleaned her pores (clay bar) and then SPF'd her skin with Zaino.
Since I still haven't had the repair done from the neighbor's hit at 1937 miles, I only did cab-back to tail.
Note to self: don't go do chest/tri before setting out to clay the truck!

 

Nice work! How does the backlighting look at night? In the dedicated Meso Customs Volume Button Relocation thread a few folks mentioned that it's a bit uneven, particularly the volume up button. Was planning on doing the upgrade, but just curious how the lighting looks. Not a big deal, but wondering if it'd be a good idea to wait until the "next gen" comes out. TIA!

 

That was one of the first things I checked actually (in a dark garage). On my kit at least the color is about a 95% match to the factory lights on the other side of the steering wheel. I also did not notice any weird or uneven lighting. At least for now this is close enough for me. I might swap the board out for the factory at some point and reprogram the Maestro if I need to pull the headunit for a reason, but so far so good with this upgrade. It was too easy to put it back together with their board for testing.

 

Nice! I don't do a lot of night driving, so I might go ahead and order then. Thanks!
