What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the Ridgid Industries grille and fog lights.

 

Very nice! I had icons on my 2nd gen and they were amazing!! Congrats.

 

I couldn't find that grill on their Mobile site. What did that run? Just the grill not the fogs.

 

Does your TPMS sensors work with those wheels? I've been looking at them but couldn't get an answer from my dealership. They said they were a different offset as well. I was sure they would work though.

 

Finally removed the TRD Sport 4x4 bedside decal and Tacoma emblems. Looks way cleaner IMO...

 

It looks like you are barely able to squeeze it into the garage.

 

I think it's the angle of the pix. I have at least 6" to clear. Not sure it will clear after I put on my Prinsu racks and recovery gear on the roof...LOL!

 

Pulled the trigger on the

$221 PT398-35160 Vehicle Intrusion Protection Security System

PT398-35160 alarm system some of you were posting about. My dealer said he would get it for me for $160 and install it for $100. Seems reasonable. I might have tackled it myself but for $100 and have the assurance they will fix it if it craps out. WTH. Goes in this Tuesday.

 

Your pics gave me a chubby. Looks sweet

 

To me $100 just to install it is way too much. $160 is a good price for the alarm system, IMO take it home and try to install it yourself, you will have a big smile at the end. There is no way to miss it, all plug and play, and there is NO way to connect the connectors on the wire harness that comes with the alarm to a wrong plug. Good luck!

 

I installed my @CaliRaisedLed Ditch lights today and they are pretty sweet! They go well with my LED bar.
I'm planning on installing opt 7 LED lows and fogs soon as well.

 

Got the Transmission software update today. The pause when shifting from park to drive or reverse to drive is gone. And it wasnt falling back and forth into a lower Gear with cruise set at 75.

They also fixed a rattle in my ear under the seatbelt in the access door.

All while I waited.

My first satisfied dealer visit after owning
3 Toyotas

 

Yup! The stock TPMSs transfered fine. You will need new lugs though. They require the lugs made for these wheels as the stock lugs aren't quiet narrow enough.

 

I was concerned about this parking garage near me. I had room to spare. But yeah a rack will put me over.

 

Try at Amazon. Use part number 40597

 

Jerry Taco, could you please share a pic of your pinch weld mod? Thanks!

 

I too always wash using a foam cannon. After 2 years of using it my neighbors still always have some sort of comment to make when walking or driving by.

 

Got my first service yesterday, in addition to that they completed the transmission TSB , and checked my transmission fluid, which turned out to be about 3/4 of a quart low. I could feel the truck drive differently almost immediately. Glad I got that taken care of. Also had some weird peeling on the shift knob, so they ordered a new one. If anyone is in the So Cal Orange County area, I recommend Tustin Toyota. I used to get my scion serviced at Toyota of Orange but the level of service is not as great as I experienced yesterday.

 

Got it off of Amazon. Fits right into that little spot.

There are a lot of different styles that fit. The light bar came with a three wire toggle switch. I removed it and replaced it with this one. This one has four wires but I've only got three of them used at the moment. The extra wire just lights the switch when you turn your headlights on.

 

That's what she said
