What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Still playing with it. No guide lines on the front camera. Besides that, So far so good.

 

"MouseBlocker" working? My 2019 Tacoma's main harness was eaten. Replaced by dealer. Now the 2010 4Runner was eaten. These trucks do not just sit around either. I do not typically kill the creatures living around my house but the squirrels are coming off of the protected-list.
We have to open our hoods as soon as we get home to prevent this activity.

 

You have just dealt a crushing blow to any thoughts I might have had that I'm even slightly organized. But at least I have a tonneau cover to hide my weakness.
You're crazy good at organizing. Looks great.

 

Installed a nice little dent in the tailgate.

Is it me, or is the skin on these trucks really easily dented? I’ve never had so much trouble with dents.

Over 10 vehicles and it seems every little bump on this thing has led to a dent. I think I’m being punished for buying a brand new vehicle.

 

I have mouse blockers in both my Tacoma and my wife's Corolla. It seems to be working since her old IM had 3 nest built in it before we traded it in.

 

It is totaled! I will give you $25 for it, though.

 

Haha. Part of me feels like the truck is “tainted” now. I can deal with pinstriping, but the dents are eating at me. This is the third one.

 

PDR an option?

 

2 12mm bolts per step and theyre off and you have a traditional slider. The step puts it's force against the outside tube. Bolts are merely there to keep it located left to right

 

One of them could be but it could also get cut out if I was to do a high clearance rear bumper, not sure on the tailgate one, and the passenger side door has a $1600 estimate.

 

Installed the aluminum sliders today.
I don't know why people complain about installing sliders. It was incredibly easy to do solo with no jack.
Took about 10 minutes start to finish on the passenger side. The driver side took a bit longer. The front bolt wasn't easy to get on and the electric box nuts were rusted.
For the bolts on the driver side that are near the brake lines I installed them backwards so it has less chance of rubbing the lines (it doesn't look like it in the pic but there is almost a 1/4" of clearance between the bolt head and lines)

 

Lookin good!

 

Looks great!

 

Love it!

 

Maybe a couple of these then?

 

Last week I replaced the spark plugs and sheared off a wheel stud on the driver's side when I took off that wheel to get at a couple of lower bracket bolts. Since I was going to have to remove the brakes anyway I decided to also replace the brake pads in the process. The outer pads had a lot more wear on them that the inner pads so it turned out to be a good decision. It was the first time I had ever replaced a wheel stud and it was so easy that a child could have done it. It goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks.

 

so i just ended up getting a brand new OEM tacoma short bed mat for like 150 with free shipping, itll get here tomorrow.

cant have my cooler with beers moving around that much. steady does it.

 

Installed the URD mark II Y pipe today, had a small window of time to do it but all went well. Only two issues I see with it were back by the connection to the muffler, the pipe ends up super close to the cross member there and also the gasket they provided was a bit annoying getting centered between the flanges while bolting them together. Only got to drive it about a mile so far, seems to have an odd resonance sound around 2500-3000 rpm but otherwise doesn't sound any different really. Should have it out for a longer drive soon to get a better idea of any difference made.

 

Swapped out the stock door speakers
