What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mine had a nasty imperfection in the paint. Like a tiny splatter. Buffed it out.

 

Added some one-off vinyl bedside emblems. . . something different

 

I really want to do this. But like some other cosmetic 'adjustments' I'm worried getting tired of it a month down the road. I know the vinyl can be reapplied, but .... .

 

I was having trouble as well, seems to work now when I turn off WiFi on my phone.

 

Happy Holidays!

My wife bought me a "plug and play" remote starter kit for my 2020 Toyota Tacoma SR. God bless her heart. Awesome gift.

unfortunately- she cut the wrong wire when installing and I am wondering what the wire is? perhaps I am looking for a diagram of what wire she cut?

is it safe to drive the car if she puts everything back together?

I appreciated the gesture but might be better if I take it to a pro!

Thanks for your help in advance!

 

Um... I got a plug and play remote start for Christmas as well. It is for a 2016-2020, no wire splicing at all. Just two easy connectors. But regardless, this is an easy fix.

My suggestion would be to take a sharp knife and peal back more of that tape off the harness. Then get yourself some red heat shrink butt connectors and reconnect that wire.

 

Not to sound too naive but does it make much of a difference? Is it one of those things that you don’t realize how bad it was until you upgrade it?

 

But factory vinyl is often pretty darn durable, so you’re possibly facing a downgrade if you decide you don’t like it without and want to add it back.

 

For the average bear this is unnecessary. It really helps some folks who wish to have additional tiedown points near the tailgate.

Now if your planning on running a hard topper, a bed rack, a RTT, and/or other gear bed stiffeners are a good idea.

I'm not planning on a hard top in the immediate future, however I'm planning on getting some bed stiffeners for additional tie down points.

 

Which is why I probably will leave it OEM.

 

Thanks for the info! Makes total sense

 

Bummer about your Sport. They ever find any "leads" man? Any plans for the replacement? Something about LB tacos and 35's just seem proportional to me. I'm probably topped out at 34's.

 

I'm on laptop at home. Gremlins are back though, so no uploading for me.

 

I added them because I have a hard topper.

 

Changed oil, filter, @70036 miles.

Also, got this dent behind my passenger pillar wrap, a while back, does anyone have a suggestion how to correct this? I was thinking to update with a patterned wrap to hide it, not sure I want to spend cash to fix with bodywork, but if I did, how much do you think it would be?

 

Did you happen to call a local PDR guy? They can usually assess the situation and let you know a price and if they can/can't tackle the job with just a few text messages.

 

Garmin dash cam mini 3 + Donger Technologies power adapter--super clean!

 

For you guys that use ramps to change oil: Drive vehicle up on ramps, front tires. Drain oil and change filter. You can't start engine to back down ramps to a level surface. So how much oil do you add in order to start engine to get down off ramps?
And does vehicle on ramps drain proper amount of oil?

 

someone posted a pachmayr grip like material for these a few days ago that would be the upgrade I'd do after having it pushed out. id just see if you can get the PDR guy to hit it then throw a new wrap on it. otherwise anything you put over that ding is going to lift.
