What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Its just a regular oil change. I don’t think there’s anything “hard” about it. Removing the skid plate only takes me about 30 seconds.

People have messed up and taken the transmission drain plug out. The engine oil pan is smaller than the transmission oil pan so I think the throws people off. Just make sure you’re under the engine and not the trans.

0-20 oil is pretty light so it tends to slash when you first start draining.

I’d recommend to buy the oil filter socket from Toyota. Makes life a lot easier. I also drain the filter with the drain tube that comes with the new filter.

Use plenty of rags. I just buy a roll of shop towels from auto zone.

I don’t have the fumoto valve but a lot of guys like them

 

Nice job!!! Do the outline in TRD red! What's next?

(Gas door outline detail same as aforementioned, or perhaps a TRD bed decal "add-on" of the Woody style checkered flag or flame retrograde? , similar/same location placement as the biker in your lifestyle decal this)



"apparent retrograde motion,” because it is an optical illusion"

 

Love it. I had a T3 Tyger Tri Fold which was great. The T5 uses the same pieces that go into into the cargo system. Remove old tonneau , readjust them and clip down the cover. 10 minutes and I'm done . Nice

 

Got them from here .

That sucks.

 

I have the Borlas s type. No offset

 

Wow ! You've got 6 grill lights.

There were some in the 3rd gen BST forum. I think they're still available.

I really like the way they look on my 2019 SR5.

 

I bought these and installed a few months ago. When I shift into reverse, they rapidly flash for a second or two. Then, they stay on without flashing and are very bright. Do yours flash?

 

TRD Skid plate has a little trap door (4 cap screws) that allows access to the oil filter w/o removing the entire skid plate. Oil changes aside, it's nice addition to your truck although a bit spendy.

 

I just put them in last night, I'll pay attention the next few nights and let you know.

Awesome!

 

thanks for your input, much appreciated!

thank you! looks like the trd skid plate is the way to go because of the little trap door for oil changes, i don’t like the thought of removing the skid plate to change oil.

 

I put in a TacoGarage Pro Grill. The TSS sensor light was coming on. It took about two weeks before it stopped coming on. Be patient. Give it a few weeks.

 

Anyone install the caliraisedled tri-color fog light?? Curious on how the installation is with stock housing...

 

Got a LEER 180 shell put on my truck.

You may also want to replace your oil pans drain plug with the Fumoto
F-103N. The N stands for nipple and allows you to attach a drain hose.
Another option worth considering is a billet oil cartridge cover by Jowett Performance with the Fumoto Valve option. @Jowett
Brian is a vendor here and has a thread here showing the cartridge cover. I will be installing one myself when he gets more in stock.
Thought this may be of interest to you.

There is also another option available that you may not be aware of and that's the Baxter Spin-on Oil Filter Adapter. You can find information on that by using the search section of this thread.

 

Because it’s fun?
