What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I would do a sealed box with either an 8" or 10".

 

What box are you putting the JL sub in?

 

Quoting my own post because I forgot to throw the Fumoto valve in.... I was cruising through the oil change and it started raining, so I rushed to finish. Grabbed the drain plug and finished up. Guess I'll wait another 5k.

 

That's the way to do it!

It's a bummer you felt rushed and put the oil pan bolt on instead of Fumoto.

But like you said, you'll get it on the next oil change.

 

Early morning ditch light wiring complete, hit a trail and come home to an early delivery of some Falken Wildpeak A/T4.

 

Fumoto replacement of oil drain plug. Has a lever to open for oil flow that is controlled instead of gushing out. Also lets you take small oil samples if you feel the need to take them for analysis.

Motivx oil change tools include an adapter that grips the oil filter housing at a stronger point and more easily, including a tube that allows pre-draining the filter housing before removal for cleaner changes.

 

What fog lights are you using?

Looks like the JL powered doesn't come in an 8" sealed. The 10" however does. I don't mind the extra cost if it means getting the end result. Thanks for the heads up on that. I probably wouldn't have even looked at the sealed.

 

Raptor lights are installed .

 

Ol girl got a thorough wash and ceramic detail wipe down this afternoon. Since getting it back from the body shop a few weeks ago after it got wrecked, I hadn’t replaced the grille lights yet so I got that done today. This time I opted for the smoked lenses and initially I really like them!

 

Installed the OEM auto tailgate lock. Forgot to take pictures as I was doing it but went in pretty easily. With a little luck will get it washed up and the bed mat put in tomorrow.

 

In terms of happiness per dollar that is my favourite modification so far.

 

did you break the oem filter housing? where is your filter wrench?

 

Added in a k&n cold air intake today. 2 reasons. 1 I keep getting seeds under the air filter in the box, signs of nesting keep coming up. 2, I got a heavy-ish rv for the taco, and any extra torque/hp that can be added is welcome. Plus it does sound cooler

 

I derpped the wheels today, 5 coats of black and 2 coats glossifier.

 

Part 1 of getting rid of the chrome:

After looking at the thread linked below, I learned that the Tacoma TRD PRO comes with different taillights.

I wasn’t a fan of the gray housing with the chrome on the TRD Sport/Off-Road taillights that I have, so I placed an order on the OEM 20+ Tacoma TRD PRO taillights during the 20% off Memorial Day sale from a Toyota parts dealer.

The install is really easy. It’s just unscrewing off the taillights, pulling them straight out, then unplug then plug the wires, then putting the new taillights back on.

1st pic is the taillights that the TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road comes with. 2nd pic is the 20+ TRD PRO taillights.

The truck looks so much better with the black Tacoma TRD PRO taillights. It matches the black LED headlights much better.

Part 2 of getting rid of the chrome is to get Bumpershellz Textured Black (TPO) bumper covers from Ecoological. I did this to match the black OEM 20+ TRD PRO taillights and the black emblems my truck comes with.

The install is pretty straight forward, just unclipping some pins and finessing the cover on, which can take a bit of time.

I used a code ROBTACO10 for 10% off from a YouTuber called Rob Daman. It’s good enough for having extra money for a lunch!

I included before and after and how the part fits, in which it fits great! The Textured Black isn’t an exact perfect match, but pretty close. That’s good enough for me.

 

Rolled into Ant's Community Garage in Everett, WA with the crew and installed an AWE 0FG Exhaust with BashGuards, front and rear SumoSprings, and the Cali Raised AC Drip Relocation.
