What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I had my first 6 month service at 4,400 miles for my Toyota Care program. I asked that they set the turn signal flasher to 5 flashes instead of the 3 factory flash setting. The service advisor didn't know what I was talking about, but said if I agreed to pay $27 for the computer hook up fee that he would "look into it". I said fine since it is pretty annoying to me since I drive a lot of highway miles to work.

Good news, they set it to 5 flashes and didn't charge me a dime. It is so much more user friendly now. I thought that 7 flashes might be better, but 5 is perfect.

I live in Allentown, PA and went to Bennett Toyota on Lehigh Street for those of you local.

 

I would assume we all have the same parts. Just depends on how bad that batch was each of us got.

 

Looks dirty. You should wash your truck tomorrow when it is nice and hot. Remember to use cold water, you wouldn't want your truck to shrink in the wash.

 

1. Received these in the mail and added to my RCI bed rack:


2. Added the fumoto oil drain valve to make oil changes less messy with skids:

3. Finally posted a build thread:

Like it better now that I put the oe roof rack on, it doesn't look so tall

 

Installed an oe roof rack!!! Does anyone know the part number of the bolt kit, would like to change all the bolts for new ones.

 

Nice Truck! Looks real clean.

 

Any one install Yakima Tracks on the roof of your 2017? I had put them on the roof of my 05 Tundra and they worked great! Roof rack off and on in seconds. Yakima doesn't have them listed but then neither did they list my 05. Just wondering?

 

A week or so ago I picked up an are top from a member here who made the transaction super easy and was great to deal with. I had a friend spray it partial inferno orange as the top was all black. Also sprayed orange on a few other parts here are the results in Photos. I'm still planning a platform for the back storage underneath and "sleep area " on top. As well as a bit of lighting for inside the back topper.

Also Added window vents from Avs too. Sprayed a license plate frame and D ring for trailer hitch area.

Couldn't get the "chrome" bumper ends off to replace with black ones I have - without fear of breaking little important piece of plastic see another post. I tried Though.

More to come - thanks for all of those who have helped me get this taco thing goin. Fun stuff. Much appreciated!!!

Prinsu rack ordered. And arb awning ready to mount.

New grippy things for the radio knobs from mrproduxn. Apparently they are a slimmer cut than before. I'm really happy with the upgrade.

 

push it with ur thumb on a paper towel

 

used my obds and turned off my driver and passanger seat seatbelt chimes (i like if off when im off roading) and i changed my turn signal count to 4

 

Are these replacements or did you paint them? I want to replace mine with some carbon fiber ones if I can find them

 

They are spend but here they have all different kits including carbon fiber..

I was actually just looking at these. How is the quality? Did the just pop right off? How was the installation?

 

I don't have them. Was looking the other day and found it.

 

New truck in white and black with red accents needed a new decal job in white and black with red accents. I tasked my daughter the art student with coming up with the design. I like it!

Just a couple quick iPhone photos for now. I'll get some glamour shots later.

 

^^^Looks awesome. Your daughter did a great job.
Put on AVS window visors today
