What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

PIAA Superior Bass Horns
36.99 on Amazon. They sound really good.

 

Next time start with something easier before you get in over your head lol

 

Installed the Toyota remote tailgate lock kit. I know it cost more than all the other options, but the quality met my standards.

 

doing the exhaust was satisfying. I was on a mission and it took me like 12th shop i called while leaving one that said they were open to get it done... they did a great job and of course I kept The OEM muffler

 

Now this is one BEAUTIFUL truck!

 

Glad you’re happy with the sound. Those welds though..... I hope they gave you a discount. Sheesh.

 

stock height?

 

Yes, I am still on the stock suspension.

 

Looks good planning on 255/80-17s when my stocks wear out

 

I have the same bed cover and have been wanting to do this exact setup! How did you get that to work with the Tacoma rails being lower? Could you post any pics from inside the bed? Thanks!

 

I got decals to cover the red and fill in the TRD stamp on the back. Used black permanent marker to colour the threads.

 

I have a similar setup but installed a custom built set of brackets and rails purchased from a fellow TW member in PA.

 

I started changing the oil. Got as far as draining the engine by the time I realize the dealership sold me the wrong filter. So I filled it and drove back to do an exchange. They did hand me 6qts by way of apology.

 

One more small one today because covid and boredom....put the new grill on

 

Any way to post a sound file?

 

One of the easiest ways is to link a YouTube video with the sound.

There's several on YouTube.
That's what I went by. Deep real truck sound

 

Finally got my Uptop Bravo rack installed.

 

I did a couple things today, but I'll make separate posts in case one of them is helpful to someone else

The first thing I did, I'm very excited about. Last summer, I bought a set of CupHolderHero Cup Liners off Amazon (

Unfortunately after a few months (as I was telling @Rottencotton) the liner that sat over the Qi Wireless Charger started to no longer lie flat. I took the liner out and found the the stock rubber mat had a bubble in it. It didn't really have air trapped, it was just stretched out and my phone would no longer lie flat and it wouldn't charge.

I've been trying on an off to pull up the mat and re-seat it with no luck. I also thought about removing the whole unit and do something, but I was holding off until I'm ready to install @lapoltba's 2LM PnP mod, since I'll probably have to get in there anyway.

Today I got a bright idea while thinking back on an episode of "Bitch'n Rides". I remember where one of their metal fab guys would heat and rapidly cool metal to remove a wave in the hood of a car. I figured that it really couldn't hurt to give it a try with my rubber mat. So I grabbed a cup of ice, a towel, and my trusty heat gun and heated up the stock rubber pad really good. Once I got the pad nice and hot, I rubbed an ice cube on the spot that had bubbled up using the towel to keep any water from getting to the electronics. It seemed to really help. I did this 2 or 3 times and I'm really happy with the results. It's not absolutely flat, but I can't see any bubble and the phone seems to sits nice and flat. The charger works great too



Not sure it will last and I'm certainly not putting the extra liner back, but at least for now - I'm pretty stoked.
