What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

So far, it works great! It says not to put more than 55psi, but I only go to 35psi and it has more than enough pressure. It's well made, looks clean and mounted easily for my needs.

 

City water is usually around 35 PSI.

 

In Portland, Oregon it’s between 40 and 80 PSI. Mine exceeds 80.

https://www.portland.gov/water/repo...e system to,receive lower or higher pressure.

 

Finally got the RCI transmission skid after I ordered pre memorial weekend. Was going to install but RCI missed shipping the trd pro plate hardware kit.

 

For my Waterport I fill it up with no pressure, then use my Milwaukee inflator to pressurize it to 35-40psi when needed.
My garden hose has filled it up to over 60psi and tripped the relief valve, plus I worry about carrying it pressurized when bouncing around off roading. I've had a Waterport fail at the hose connection and have seen reviews of people complaining about the tank bulging.

 

As much as this sucks.. its pretty epic.

 

test fit the first mod on the new bumper.

 

I didn't want the Waterport as it's plastic. Went with welded aluminum. Honestly, I could pressurize it to 20-25 psi and that would be enough.

 

Holy shit!
That is freaky!
That wrench head reminds me of Alien creature busting out the chest!
Skary!

 

Yeah, I have the stock hitch for now with the Alu-Cab Contour as well. I think for my situation, the pedals get "real" close to the tailgate. I just don't want to take the chance and have it dance around back there to put a nice scrape in the paint. A small spacer would get it sorted, but I could also just throw my +1 additional rack on for the same effect, albeit, slightly more cumbersome to mount and dismount. I guess it is what it is. Thanks for the insight man.

 

I finally replaced the factory oil filter housing. The plastic one failed after 70K.

 

My solution for getting in the tailgate with bikes on the hitch was to get a 1up RakAttach. Found it used on Facebook for a half price.
It puts the rack out far enough that even without swinging it open I can open the tailgate and clear the bikes.
And it holds up offroading very well, it's been smacked against rocks and dragged through dirt plenty of times.

 

Finally after 6 years I got some mud on the truck. Normal offroading for me is frozen lakes for ice fishing, but we wanted to get to a secluded lake back in the woods, so we had to go through some light mud.

 

Wow! I've only heard about this and never seen one break. I did upgrade mine after my free oil changes ran out.

 

I did the DS-18 Tweeter upgrade. Pretty straight forward install, driver side bolts are a little harder to get to.
I know @ClassyTacos has an install video on his channel.
I found a flex head ratcheting wrench to be very useful for removing/installing the bolts closest to the front window.
They definitely sound better, and for the $80 and the ~30 min install time I would recommend these.

 

Going thru my Amazon shopping list and noticed OEM Filter Housing Cap + Plug

$52 15620-31060 15643-31050

15620-31060 no longer fits my 2020 Tacoma. I checked on a Toyota parts website and same thing. It must have fit at the time I put it in my list. Or maybe not and folks are using it anyway. Not ready to buy, but is there a superseded part? Why does part# no longer pass the make/model check.

 

OH NICE! P/N Please?

 

It was over 100deg. so I thought to myself. I should mess around with the truck in the heat. Cuz I am SMRT. I have many opinions on this product. I'll keep them to myself. FWIW I give it an 8/10. 3TPAM done done...
Gonna cut off and tap the CF arm for the Spod controller. It puts the controller way too close to the steering wheel. A plus was I sweated off 4lbs in the heat!

EDIT - Added more pics for affect and spent more time in the Gates of Hell Garage.

Test fit of Yakima roof rack for bare roof. Really impressed with fit/finish, easy on/off. Decide not to go with serious bolt-on rack,
because I only need it few times a year.
