What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

OK, thanks for the clarification...

 

OK cool, I didn't think it would, but I definitely don't need it flying out and causing a bad wreck...

 

Changed both differential fluid.

It was windy out so nice morning to spend under my truck.

 

It won't. It is quite heavy.

 

What mounting bracket did you use for the ARB Compressor? TIA

 

New differential today. No more slop or noise.

 

Where is the relay for the cargo lights? I'd like to add some LED strip lights under the tie down sliders, but looking at the wire for the cargo lights, I'm not convinced it will support the current draw. If that relay is in the back, I'll feel more comfortable about tapping in there.

 

Had the Overland Torque Tune installed. Unbelievable difference in the way the truck drives. No more throttle lag, waiting for the truck to give you all the throttle you input, and best of all no more gear hunting.

To be honest, I was halfway thinking people were just justifying spending so much money to get minor results. But, I was so tired of gear hunting I decided to try it, just for piece of mind, and if I was wasting the money, so be it. Now, I am sorry I did not do it sooner.

It is pretty expensive, but over the life of the truck, gaining even one mile per gallon will pay for the cost The better driving experience and general satisfaction with the truck is free.

I went with the lite setting for everyday driving and mild for the ECT button. I will see how that works on the snow and ice this winter.

I feel like this is how the truck should have came from the factory.

 

We all do.

Congratulations!!

 

Just got my taco and the frame is pretty much perfect so today I got under her and sprayed a bunch is cosmoline around, I’ll do it a few more times before we get the salt and snow weather. Pennsylvania winters are hard on underbodys

 

This was my exact thought after a tune as well.

 

After getting my Super Pacific X1 I realized I couldn’t see anything out the rear view mirror any more so I started looking at rear view screens. I settled on the Wolfbox G900 Pro (https://wolfbox.com/products/wolfbo...dash-cam-smart-mirror-with-starvis-678-sensor) given the feature set, Sony cameras and the price. They have a bracket available that allows you to completely replace the OEM mirror with the screen rather than using the straps (https://wolfbox.com/products/wolfbox-oem-bracket-for-smart-mirror-for-g900-g850-g840s-g840h) I replaced the interior mirror tonight using a Dongar adapter (

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWCW15SJ). I pulled the OEM mirror cable back up under the headliner and I installed the adapter under the headliner and pulled the USB-C down to make it cleaner. Tomorrow I’ll install the GPS antenna running the wire down the passenger side A-Pillar to the dash and the rear camera cable down the driver side and under the hood. I plan on using a deutsch connector to get signal into the bed and run it up to a Shittco rear camera mount with Wolfbox rear camera. You can see that the front camera on the Wolfbox is obscured just a little by that OEM sensor that is the center top of the windshield.

toyota would not design a mat that flies out.....its heavy

 

I had my Toyota dealer install all 4 TRD Pro Rims, and service on my 2023 TRD OffRoad today, they never mentioned the OTT Tune. I kept quiet. Maybe you all know, TRD Pro rims are cheaper than OEM rims for TRD OffRoad at dealer.
Also, I no more patience to paint the Offroad OEM rims black, or use Plastic Dip, TVD Vinyl.

 

I've have an access cab TRD off-road in cement grey since end of October 2019. I kept it pretty stock until recently. I was leasing and ended up buying my lease out. During the lease I had a Diamondback HD + KB Voodoo cross bar combo for a RTT and that's pretty much it. I ran 235/85/R16 BFG KO3s after the stock wranglers.

After buying out my lease, I have done some more intense mods. Installed some bed stiffeners, swapped out the Diamondback for a topper (Ozark Venturous), installed a bedrug, added a 1 inch suspension lift (Bilstein 6112/5160), then went up to 33s with 255/85/R16 Falken Wildpeak AT4s. I currently have some RCI rock sliders on order. Some minor mods are desert does it seat jackers on driver side and I replaced the stock interior lights with some brighter LEDs.

 

Get another set of spring clips and put them on the other end of the pads, they won't rattle no more. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...200/automotive-truck-2022-toyota-tacoma?pos=0 I did my 2007 pads rattled over bumps. I did it proactively on my 21

 

Nothing to exciting compared to most, but I changed over to LEDs for the interior lights, I can see inside the console now, what a difference they make... I did not change out the tag lights though, not worried about how bright they are...

You can almost bright light the vehicle behind you with the vanity lights now gezzz, little to bright when dark out, but I normally don't look at myself while driving anyway.... lol

 

I replaced all the interior lights as well. Probably the cheapest but most functional mod. You are dead on with the vanity lights. Just about blinded myself with them! Another good one is putting LED bulbs in the reverse lights. After having some tint put on, I really needed the extra light using the mirrors to back up. Just can't get used to trusting the back up camera.
