What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Good looking!

 

Good job with that, looks good. I’d even consider that type of viper cut on mine.

 

When? Lol

 

Great question

 

A light at the end of the tunnel ...

 

was it a 1 Tacoma meet up?

 

they do slightly. it raises it a bi,t I didnt like it to be honest , so I trimmed the bed mat to contour around the stiffeners. just used some aviation snips and it made quick work of it. can get some photos tomorrow!

 

I started about there, a little closer to the center line. And then went bigger and then again.

 

if you are on stock - maybe yes, OEM ones are supposed to last near 100k , and bilsteins are recommended to change, you can change to 5100 - these are better than stock ones and cost nearly 100 per shock

 

No!

 

what grille is this?

 

X-trek. Sorry looks like the link is gone.

 

I'm good with the stock suspension. I like the way the SR suspension feels. My off-road excursions are limited to mellow terrain and beaches, so stiffer "better" suspension isn't what I'm looking for. I've had a couple first gens and played the 4600/5100 game with upgraded springs and AAL. I'm just gonna stick with the Hitachi setup. I'm assuming I'll just replace all 4 at 100k

 

Shocks don't really affect ride height and 3rd gens pretty much all lean to the left side. I put a small spacer under my LF coilover when I went to 5100's to combat it. I'm just over the border in Orange County, NY and this summer has not been conducive to washing my vehicles. It was either way too hot and humid or raining. It last got washed mid July by a hand car wash place near work. Well worth the $20 to me.

 

I went with black, just because of the black trim on the truck I didn't think the white caps would have matched the white of the truck.

 

I’ve been meaning to do this. OEM lights? Install easy?

 

Has anyone experienced the Safety Breaking System activating going down for no reason?

 

OEM. Remove taillight assemblies, remove dummy-covers. The wiring (such as it is) requires unattaching the dummy-double-barrel cap that covers the truck wiring from the body (easy), remove the dummy-double-barrel and attach the bedlight connector. Then reassemble. Took longer ONLY because I had not done it before ... would be 5 minutes max per side again. You might want to remove negative battery because even OEM cables can feedback and cause issues.

 

I'm sure the system had a reason, just not one that you agree with or even noticed .

But seriously, my 2018 6MT won't hit the brakes, but sometimes flashes a big dang STOP message for reasons I certainly don't agree with. I assume some combination of radar and camera getting freaked out by the way things are moving.

 

my truck actually activated the breaks on an open road while the cruise was in use set at 55 or at least it felt like the brakes hit, it could have been the radar cruise deactivating that I felt.
