What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I found the sticker….https://autoparts.toyota.com/products/product/label-carb-intake-tacoma-pt965351900e

 

I’m curious, I’ve seen several posts about an after market cold air intake. My truck came with a factory cold air intake. What are the benefits of getting a different intake. Does it improve performance ? Mileage ? Engine sounds ? Appearance ? I’m not being sarcastic, just wondering why do that.

 

Here's the OEM Cold Air Intake and video to review your questions:

Thanks for the video. It did answer my questions. Didn’t see in the video any improvement in function. It does look kinda cool though.

 

I have an OTT Tune so my Sport has some giddy-up!

It DOES make the engine bay pop! -- I'd like one

Here's 2 angles of mine:

 

Not the OP.
I added the silicone tube and replaced input snorkel with the TRD accelerator snorkel. I think this has improved my acceleration.

 

Added a TRD skid plate to the truck last night

 

pulled off the back panel, got my fire extinguisher, and my first aid kit mounted. Along with the new loaded tool box in the back I can now fix almost anything that breaks off-road, live stranded in middle of nowhere for weeks on end, shoot signal flares, hunt, fish, build a log cabin, put out small fires, and treat severe infections, burns, external hemorrhaging, “sucking” wounds, blocked airways, broken bones, stitch cuts, relieve pain, and more all while maintaining a mostly factory look. Just want to add a winch up front now.

Not as crazy as a lot of rigs here, but I have unique needs and it’s always cool when you have a vision and it comes together bit by bit.

 

Well, when your friendly local moderator makes a friendly suggestion, maybe it's wise to not argue. That's just the way I see it. But hey, we all have choices...

 

Just dropped it off at the dealership first thing this morning for the wire and weld inspection

 

Installed the Boomer’s Dashtop RAM system. Also painted my center caps on my stock steel wheels. The mounting system, I like a lot. Easy to install & have plenty of options. The center caps I also like - those were cheap & easy.

 

The main reason for the front hitch
Already used it to retrieve the lawn tractor from a mud pit

 

I feel you man. My wife works for a school district in a rural area. It seems like every time I wash her Hellcat some flying dinosaur hits a perfect bull's eye on teh car somewhere. We really love having the peacocks in the neighborhood though. Its kinda special in the middle of suburbia.

 

Dude. The white. ERMERGERD.

 

Got home early from the commute. Installed a grill light I picked up a while back. Ti hardware...blah blah blah... I used some little low voltage jumpers to test it. Dang they got HOT QUICK. lol

 

Likes that tire setup! What is it?

 

Tossed on some new taillights

 

Not mine but pretty dam cool.

 

This! Very nice stance indeed.

 

Installed BC tail gate anti-theft bracket. Had to file the holes in the bracket a bit cause they wouldn’t line up with the holes in the truck. I put 6mm Allen head screws in it, couldn’t find torx 6mm screws. I dabbed some silicone in the allen heads so the scum bags will have to dig that out to remove the screws. That’s about all I can do. I hope I’m at home if they try to steal it then I can send them straight to hell.
