What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Discovered auto start with fob don’t work when hood is popped ?

 

I cant wait to contribute to this thread for realz. I bought my 23 on Dec 30 and it has been sitting in my driveway since then. I have a travel heavy job and have been out of town since Jan 2. So there it sits with 29 miles on it.

I think the first thing I'll do, will be installing the floor mats the dealer tried to keep me from getting. Their excuse was..."well to get to your price we had to take those out of the deal".
I said...nope... that is not how negotiations work. I didn't know they were a casualty of your pricing. So...please provide them.
They are supposed to ship them this week. I live about 25 miles from the dealer. I'll be home in a week or so.

 

Welcome.

 

Get a bed mat while you are at it. After that tailer your add ons to your intended use.

 

Installed these today.



So even with the plastic booster that comes with the Optima, the stock tie down didn't work.

I have this coming on Thursday, which will hopefully help:

Agency6 Battery Hold Down Bar

 

Having a constant issue with hyperflashing, I’ve read about having a burnt bulb or installing a resistor but I haven’t had this problem for the last 11 months. I have the Meso turn signals and the Form tail lights which I understand have a build-in resistor.

If my lighting is set to off and I turn on my hazards, all the lights flash normally except the passenger side tail light. If my lights are on and I turn on my hazards then every light flashes like normal except the passenger side tail light which just stays on. When turning on my turn signal the headlight and meso turn signal flash extremely fast and the passenger side tail light does nothing. Any clue as to why this is? All bulbs appear to be fine.

 

Is that a zip tie?

 

Nah, it's a rubber bungie cord stretched to the max.

I work from home, so I'm not worried about the battery flying all over my engine bay.

Temporary solution until a more permanent one is installed (hopefully Thursday).

 

Stock rocks!

 

Ordered the Anytime Cam both front and rear. Anxious for it to get here. Can’t tell you how many times I pulled over, put it in reverse, just to make sure I didn’t leave the tailgate down.

 

Not sure what your particular issue is. I think Meso products can be considered decent aftermarket parts. However, be careful as this guy fried his junction block on his 2023 Tacoma. These vehicles can be fussy with their electrical system.

MAGNUSON!

Over the last couple months I put in an eibach coilover set and just installed the charger last weekend.

 

Thanks for the video. My issue is hyperflashing my my tail light not flashing to indicate I’m turning

 

I don’t have an answer for you unfortunately but I can say that the Meso total tails seem to disagree with the hazards sometimes. I originally didn’t get the load resistors and I rarely use my hazards but I used them one day after having the Meso total tails problem free for several months.

All of a sudden there was hyper flashing once I used the hazards. I purchased and installed the load resistors and that fixed the hyperflashing.

 

Cheapest hoist system I found to successfully remove the RTT by myself! Only thing I need to change is a larger set of loading straps so I don’t have to make a makeshift enclosure with a ratcheting strap.

Absolutely love these Relentless Fabrication low profile bed bars and the Wheel Every Weekend security RTT mounts but might be putting them up for sale to switch up to a taller rack that I can put gear on— watch out for the FS thread!

 

I’ll look into that, thanks. I was under the assumption that the Form tail lights had resistors already built into them.

 

I still have my stock taillights so I can’t help with that but I can definitely tell you that the load resistors immediately fixed the problem. Maybe yours don’t have the resistors and that’s all you need.

 

It checks all the boxes if it was a Walmart parking lot. Probably a “boundary” driver.

 

Interesting video. I love the fact that he tore down the unit to find the burnt trace.

Waiting anxiously for him to troubleshoot the seat warmers frying.
