What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I drove my truck to the gym and later i drove it to work.

 

Slow down, buddy. Take it in steps ...

 

lol I got the same one as you. Looks pretty good in the truck

 

Installed the following:

• RCI Rock Sliders
• Sherpa Roof Rack
• Diode Dynamics Stage Series 42" LED Light Bar w/ harness
• KC Wire Hider
• OEM Style LED Light Bar Switch

 

From the FAQs:
“Both our Adapters, Carista EVO, and Carista OBD, provide easy adjustments to your car’s settings…
Our advanced Adapter, Carista EVO, enhances compatibility and extends Carista features to a wider range of cars. Designed for a stable and fast connection, it supports the MS-CAN protocol in Ford, Lincoln, and Land Rover cars and SFD unlocking for VAG vehicles.”
The white one is capable of doing the only things their app can do on our trucks.
The EVO supports more vehicles and is faster.
Unless you have a problem with waiting a minute to connect, are looking for faster live data or wanting to use it on other vehicles not supported by the OBD version, the EVO is a waste of money for changing the settings once.
That’s not to say the OBD will have access to all the settings forever, but it did 2 months ago when I paid for, then canceled, a subscription to program my tpms sensors.
Also worth noting is that if all you’re doing is changing the settings you could also buy a USB to OBD cable from Amazon and download a pirated version of techstream to achieve the same results. This is probably even cheaper. I don’t know what those cables cost, but you wouldn’t have to mess with subscriptions in the future if you ever wanted to change the settings again

 

Thanks for the help, it is starting to make since to me now, I can build engines, transmissions, rear-ends etc etc, but this computer stuff is my kryptonite...
I will have to get my son to look into the techstream one, but the Carista sounds like the way to go...

It would be nice if the OTT installers could also do the hidden settings while doing the tune...

 

****SOLD*****
I have a Carista OBD2 for sale. $25 plus shipping from 14094. Purchased from Amazon on 9/21/24 for $44.99 plus shipping. Used one time to turn off seat belt warning ding and change turn signal auto-flasher count on my 2021 Sport. Worked like a charm. Looking to get beer money back I tried to post in "Buy/Sell/Trade" but I don't have 50 post. You have no worries, I've been a forum member since 2011.

 

Came out great Nice job!

 

Oh man, I completely spaced that! Tuners already have the cable in question, and absolutely should have a copy of techstream! If you’re getting tuned, definitely ask them.

 

For comparison upper is stock Bilstein 600 springs and bottom is 650 springs. 1/2" higher I think

 

Heck yeah, sounds great, I'm in 37072 zip code, PM me...

 

I know if I was a OTT tuner (or other) I would also be offering this as a side item or combo or whatever... If not the very expensive Techstream (legal version lol) then the Carista version, same outcome.. Great business opportunity... Unless there is some kind of legal reason they can't...

 

can't follow your logic here, PCV is one way valve letting crankcase pressure OUT, no matter how it may fail, it would only restrict crankcase exhale, so new PCV saves crankcase seals; but not seeing any benefit to valves. Catch can for saving valves (and supercharger)

Still a worthy maint, keep the crankcase pressures low.

 

Added the BillieBars tailgate to prep for the PA Tacoma aoaa invasion

 

I knew it would help during the day but I was surprised how much it helps with glare from headlights.

 

Won’t lie didn’t even think about the glare thing

 

DIY skid Plate design work in progress:

 

Guess where the QR code brings you lol

 

Does anyone know the part number for the bolts that go in these 2 spots? If not then the bolt specs would help as well
