What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If you remove the rear headrests you add 10 HP.

This is where I bought mine from.

Had the tires rotated and in the process, discovered that my rear leaf spring bushings are worn out. So now I need to decide same rubber oem or go poly

Huge difference!

 

Is this a straight replacement, bulb for bulb or something more involved?
My thoughts are for headlights, rather than reverse lights.

 

OEM LED headlights, $1500 with a harness from "daveeasa" (put a "@" in front of that name if you want his attention). Or replace H11 low-beams bulbs with H9s after removing the green inserts.

Read the long first post in this: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-hid-vs-led-vs-halogen-h11-projector-headlights.589465/

 

This.

The H9 bulbs are a great upgrade for minimal cost and effort.

 

Waiting for a Wireless CarPlay Adapter from Amazon to arrive. I hope it improves my CarPlay.

 

You forgot the glove in the window trick for another 2 MPH faster.

 

I ordered the MotivX oil filter tool and associated 24mm socket direct from MotivX.
Cheaper than Amazon, and free shipping for $30+ orders.
Next stop is to Harbor Freight for a torque wrench capable of accuracy between 9 and 18 ft.lbs

I was looking at Amazon for Toyota OEM filters, but comments scared me off.
Could be counterfeits or knockoffs.
Same price as buying from my dealership parts counter, which I will do instead.

 

After about a year or so of waiting, and complete transparency on their side my SSO Slimline front bumper arrived.
SSO didn't have to do what they did and complete everyone's orders that had placed one when the initial owners went under and the new owners took over but they did.
The powder coating appears to be really well done.
I for one am super happy and glad I waited!

 

Did this by installing it inline with OEM USB, very happy with it.

 

Just another spot for things to drop in and get lost, and to collect dust and debris and be a pain to clean.

 

Just a straight bulb replacement. Did the same with my headlights. They have them on Amazon.

 

Which did you go with? I got the

$50 Motorola MA1 , The Only Google Authorized Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter, Smartphone to Screen Wireless Bridge Car Accessories, USB Type-A

Motorola MA1 wireless Android Auto car adapter a couple weeks ago and have been less than impressed. Frequently losing Bluetooth connectivity with this.
EDIT: you most likely didn't go this route since this is only for Android, me thinks...

 

Taking the proper precautions to assure everyone’s safety and well being.
