What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Good morning TW,

3rd gens have a lot of dings, I'd like to silence the door, no seat belt, back up with trailer hitched, and door open before engine turns off. There's probably a few I'm not thinking of right now.

 

Truck looks fantastic, bro.

 

Late on this install but I took off my OEM front recovery and replaced it with the BPF Passenger Side Recovery Tow Hook - Heavy Duty Version plus I used grade 8 bolts:

Install was super easy and it works perfectly with my RCI front skid plate. No mods needed with this skid plate.

 

Front shot?

 

trucks on the rack getting a Vibrant resonator, Spintech 3000xl muffler, and exhaust turn down. hoping it sounds good or I've got yet another headache coming. this last month has been one after another so looking for some good luck today.

 

i ordered the handle on ebay . and then ordered a bunch of different bolts washers and sleeves. hope for the best on the airbag. lol

 

Bed mat and Baja Designs Squadron Fogs

 

That looks great. Anxiously waiting for some Morimoto amber fogs. I like the grill too. Might have to pick one of the up.

 

Looks nice! The Toyota bed mat was one of the best unseen add-ons for me, as the groceries, supplies in the bed would slide around at mach speeds.

What's the reason(s) for the yellow vs regular light? I see this from time to time, and considering switching my bulbs.

Thanks

 

this looks like it will fuck up your face when the airbag propels it out at mach speed

 

Can you post a short video of the spintech 3000xl sound? Whereabouts did you buy from?

 

Installed black SR bezel. 30 mins start to finish. Much easier, but more expensive, than derp. I like it! Now waiting on lamin-x for Morimoto fog install.

 

Here ya go

 

Yep! She's did!


She's got attitude

 

Yeah the bed mat was a must, had one in my 2nd gen and it kept everything in its place.

I went with the "amber" lenses just because I personally feel like the reflect better off of surfaces in inclement weather conditions. Plus with my LED headlight bulbs they throw a nice frame of not as harsh but highly visible light to your surroundings

 

crappy pic but added Caliraised LED Bar and Ditch Lights. Both harnesses worked out great. Some bending and adjusting of the hood brackets as the passenger side was a little off. got the OEM switches as well, they look great but when ordering from them make sure you tell them what size switch you need cause they have 2 sizes. Overall happy with the way they came out. Ill try and get better pics later.

 

I took my truck to Gresham Toyota yesterday because the brakes was making a whistle sound like it no pads left on, and they treated me like shit, the service advisor who supposed know about cars told me he wasn’t a technician and he can’t diagnose the noise and his technicians leaves at 5pm and I was there 3:40pm so and this went for a good 2 minuets ‘till I told my wife and daughter get in to the truck we’re leaving, so I called Tonkin Toyota where I bought my truck and they treated me like a king, so I’m all done with Gresham Toyota

 

Unfortunately, IMHO I see one of three things happening.

1) you get lucky and the airbag can still deploy, however the handle will most likely stag the airbag making it to where it wont inflate, or will not inflate adequately.

2) the airbag deploy's and the handle turns into a projectile "IE: it will fuck up your face when the airbag propels it out at mach speed"

3) the airbag will deploy and the handle will bend back and smash through the windshield sending glass shards in your face.

 

Damn that sucks. i think you get treated better if you get services done at the dealer you bought the truck from. I had a similar situation with my first oil change. I call a dealer that was 8 mins from my job to set up an oil change. the woman was rudeeeee...i basically told her to f off and called the dealer i bought the truck from and got serviced there. way better service. lets see how long that lasts lol

 

Now you only need is the mountain stickers above the Tacoma logo, they make a different look on the truck
