What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Washed up the Tacos!

I love my 4th gen 2025 Princess but I must admit that my 2021 3rd gen is the Queen!

I shared this post on the 4th gen page (Tacomworld) but I'm sure that you will be more accepting of me labeling the 3rd gen as the "Queen". I'm a long time Taco owner since the first generation. It was really hard for me to let go of the second gen when upgrading to the 3rd gen. This time around I could not let go of the 3rd gen. Thankfully, I was in a good position to keep my 3rd gen when buying the new 4th gen. I must admit that the 4th gen drives amazing. I honestly think that all of the negative comments against the 4th gen from within the Taco community is just silly. Regardless of the generation Tacos will always reign!

Cheers!

 

Having the same issue with my overhead piece. And driver door. I’ll have to try this too.

Bought a used Softopper of FB Marketplace last year and replaced the padding on the arms that attach to the bed rails and have some leftover. Gonna try that to help with the rattle. Thanks!

 

Under body mud flaps

 

Thanks...I'm struggling with one bolt...let alone 7!!!

I won't give up.

 

Installed A Console Safe. I may upgrade the lock. Tiny numbers for my old man eyes. Well built for the price.

 

Thanks for the hookup. I ordered one and picked it up a couple of days ago. They said that something must be up as all of a sudden they got a lot of orders. I let them know about your post. Great job.

 

I did get rubbing on the mudflaps and a little on the inner edge of the fender flares (less than half an inch) but negligent and only pulling into the driveway. No rub driving around town. However, I took my stock mudflaps off and cut custom ones from some Rally armors I had laying around. Hope my OME UCA give me more caster so I can throw on my stock ones. More than likely if I took my wheel spacers off I'd get no rub.

 

I live in a rural area and travel to the suburbs. Haven't been on a city street in awhile. There isn't parallel parking spaces in the country, the doctor's office parking lot, the local shopping plaza parking lot or the Costco parking lot.

 

Welcome. The rattle in my overhead was intermittant, and considering I got 73k miles on now, I've been putting up with it for long time. While driving I could push up on the overhead component and the rattle would stop usually for a few days or so, but I got tire of doing that too, but that tricked me into thinking it was the whole component that was the issue. I really think it was that sos/call button, while the whole component was out this past time looking into it, I seriously could not believe the play in that button, from the inside my finger could rattle it like a, well, rattle. Good luck and let us know what you find.

 

Grind it off. Save the bits!

 

That’s awesome! And thanks for the shoutout. I always prefer local business when I can and they seem to make a good product and a very reasonable price. Thanks for supporting them as well!

 

Installed OME Lift and ARB Bumper.

 

They look great! That's the only set of aftermarket tail lights I've liked on any Tacoma.

 

Hello Everyone,
I am back.
I have been away for 6 weeks, as I had to have major surgery to prevent a health issue and having to wear a catheter bag for the rest of my life.
I'm 100 % better and pathology samples came back , no signs of cancer !

Friday I purchased my Tacoma off the lease and I am happy to say that i now look forward to adding on more accessories , The funny thing is the dealership tried to sell me an extended warranty for $ 4000 and Gap Insurance, My friends convinced me to dump both the extended warranty and the gap insurance. They wanted to charge me $ 950.00 for the gap insurance and you can get it through your auto insurance for on average like $ 30.00 per year, that's a no brainer right there. The dealership was ( Balise Toyota of West Springfield, Ma. )

While they made me leave my vehicle for 2 weeks while they waited for the title to arrive, they gave me a 2024 TRD off-road to drive around free of charge, lets just say they are fun to drive, especially the hybrid engine, zips off the line like a rocket.
But I can say I wouldn't ever buy one. I will drive my Third Generation until I can not drive it anymore.

First new Mod to add on will be the TRD pro grill and a Cali Raised bumper light Bar.
Second will be a Prinsu roof rack with the light bar on top and some storage containers.

 

Congrats! Fuck cancer!

We lost my brother-in-law to cancer yesterday.

 

Replaced the DD SS30 hidden bumper light bar with a Stedi ST4K 32" dual row light bar. I'll get some night shots soon. First night shot I had it positioned a little low. Even with it being tilted down too low, it still outperformed the SS30. It's a beast of a bar in terms of output and size. Had to slightly modify the hood latch bracket to fit.

 

Love the wheels and tire set up on both. Very well done

 

Same here. I dislike the stamp

 

Nice trucks!

I too had a gen1, kept that thing...skipped gen 2 completely, then finally broke down and bought a gen 3. I'll most likely be skipping the gen 4 completely as well. I'd honestly like to buy a really low mileage 4x2 SR utility package 3rd gen to keep forever.

 

Interesting... This cubbie has developed a slight annoying rattle in my truck this winter. I'll see what happens now that the weather is warming up.
