What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Changing out the upper control arms is the only to add caster to the Tacomas, not sure why Toyota hasn't made the caster adjustable knowing that a lot of their trucks get modified. Maybe the 4th gen......

 

Pretty sure that's nonsense. I could be wrong

That's a 2nd gen, 3rd gen ('16+) is non adjustable.

 

What changed?

 

Toyota's profit margin.

 

nonsense. Caster is adjustable on the 3rd gen. Maybe not as adjustable as some would like, but adjustable nonetheless

 

I did the ICON Stage 5 on mine. Rides great and really performs.

 

The quality is OEM. Really top notch. You will need to go buy a pack of #8 pan-head sheet metal screws for the Toyota emblem. Something like 5/16 in length. I'll take a photo of what I bought when I get home today. The screws it came with are too small. It also wouldn't hurt to apply a dab of epoxy or Gorilla glue to ensure the emblem and garnish are secure. The packaging from Mad Hornets is top notch. You'll be very pleased.

 

Totally agree on the chrome as long as it fits with the other accents on the vehicle. For me the only real chrome that I found objectionable on MY Tacoma was the rear bumper, It just seemed overpowering. I even liked the chrome on the cheese grater but opted for the faux pro grille just because I liked the look, particularly because of the Toyota lettering. The wheels and smaller chrome accents provided a subtle contrast with the MGM paint as well as the graphics that I replaced/added. The only other chrome that looked out of place to me was the V6 emblem on the tailgate. To balance that out I added a Ducks Unlimited emblem opposite the V6 emblem. For me the chrome that I've kept works but from day one I knew that chrome bumper was going to go.
It's all in what you like and I think chrome can be done tastefully as long as it's balanced.

 

Well, I think I already provided a link with a little chrome accent you could add....

 

I had this same issue and had to replace the screws because my emblem almost fell off completely.

 

So this happened...

 

Guess I must have missed it. Not a lot of time lately so both my viewing and participation have been kind of spotty. Just not enough time in the day right now for me to keep up to date.

 

Throw a scoop on it, it'll be aiight.......Seriously that sucks, but should be an easy fix billed to the insurance company.

 

That sucks man but now a perfect excuse to get a scooped good.

Ouch!

 

Ouch!!!!

 

#8 is the right size needed. #10 might work if you use something smaller first. I used Loctite 404 in the holes then a dab of Gorilla Glue over the screw itself. It's not coming off. Lol

 

LOL. Now I remember! Thanks Bud.
Going in my basket now. Maybe I'll lose the V6 emblem, the DU emblem stays because it goes with my theme. It might be another one of those things that end up in my mod pile that I wasted money on and will never use.
I'll have to see how it looks before I know for sure.
