What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’ll almost be your twin this weekend. My falkens should be here tomorrow and I’ve had the pro wheels in the garage for months waiting for me to decide between the falkens and KO2’s. Yours looks good!

 

Finally finished installing some LED strips in the bed under my OEM tonneau and waiting on my meso dome that is out for delivery. Gonna be blazing like the sun over here.

P.S. I went the DIY route on the bed lights, and would highly recommend buying the kit from @mattgecko instead. It's a tedious project, especially if you are a perfectionist and want a clean install. Having a ready made kit, with the right length lights, wiring, all the connections, etc. would have saved me about 6 trips to AutoZone.

 

That's a great idea, thanks!

 

Its almost like Toyota follows Tacomaworld. With all the BHLMs and front camera installs guys are doing on here they figured they would updated the 2020 Pro to follow suit.



I want the new Pro wheels and the new Offroad grille!

 

Yep, there's a reason I had my T100 for 17 years before getting the Tacoma.

 

If they're smart.

So, is the 2020 still considered Gen3?

 

I did the same. I pay to have it changed on the off cycle. 10,000 seems to long. Once the free changes are over i’ll start changing myself.

 

Yes. This is a "refresh" not a new gen. Same truck just a few different/added bells and whistles.

EDT: I do not expect new Gen till 2025 or after.

 

This is good to know. More parts to choose from. I'll have to look one over when the dealers start getting them in.

I WANT LARGER DOOR POCKETS WITHOUT THE BEVERAGE DIVIDERS! DO YOU HEAR ME TOYOTA? IS THIS THING ON? [tap, tap, tap...]

(yeah, I'm still going on about that)

 

Oh Oh, here we go again...
My custom voodoo screen saver.

 

Picked up some new tires

 

Learned how to use the ARB EZ Deflator that I got in the mail, and then used my new-to-me mobile compressor setup to air it back up. From 20 to 30 PSI in ~45 seconds isnt half bad! Should make my trip to Anza Borrego this weekend a breeze.

 

No pictures of the work, but I finished installed my new front and rear speakers today. Friday I installed the fronts, JL C1-690x coax speakers and put some Noico 80ml on the inner and outer door skins. They match the kicker tweeters well and blow away the stock speakers in terms of clarity and range. I think they definitely want more power however, judging by how the bass and mids go flat at higher volumes.

I installed the rears today too, Infinity Reference 6532 6.5's, and also Noico's the rear inner and outer door skins. There is absolutely NO sound deadening on the rear doors from the factory, so I have a feeling that's where a LOT of the road noise I hear on the highway is/was coming from. I used a full sheet on the outer door skins and a half sheet on the inners per door, and just from shutting the doors they sound much more solid and damped. I've got a quick highway trip this afternoon that should tell me if it was worth it or not. Oh, and the speakers are significantly better too!

Edit: yup, it’s a lot quieter. Most of the road noise has moved to the back wall of the cabin instead of just “everything behind me” and it rolls quieter over rough roads. I’ll tackle the back wall in the next couple weeks.

 

Washed my 2016 SR 2wd and installed a DSM cellphone mount. Love the way they both turned out.

 

What’s a cubby hinge cover?

 

What size did we get and what type of wheels they getting mounted on ?

 

They’re 265/70/17 Toyo open country AT2s, I’m mounting them on some brand new 4runner take-offs (I like the factory look and OEM quality)

 

Nice ! Post up some pics when ya get them mounted up.

 

So I did a little thing today...

 

Vinyl'd the stock OR wheels and center caps.
