What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

TRD RED tire valve stem caps that just scream “STEAL ME!!” It’s little but I really like em!

 

Ohio finally let us run no front plate

Installed a Garmin mini dashcam using the 12 pin rear view mirror adapter and those desert does it front seat rockers.

 

Thank you. John called me earlier today. Gentleman and good conversation and he sounded very sincere. I will say they do stand behind their product. I am not looking to burn the guy’s business. I do not want to see that happen. I’m just glad my wife wasn’t driving the truck with the kids and it didn’t happen while they were in the road. I don’t want to see that happen to anyone else and neither does John. So outcome is Toyota was able to replace the plug end to the brake booster without replacing the entire wire harness (which was quoted to be over $1500-how true is that, I don’t know). The computer wasn’t fried and the brake system reset without a problem. Got my truck back and it was $600. Thanks for all of the feedback and I am glad some of you were able to avoid a nightmare like this. Hopefully a minor design change for future kits and a solution for anyone else that owns one will be in the works soon.

 

That one was cake walk compared to the off trail ones we went on. Got it on 3 wheels off camber and full articulation a few times.

 

Where

Where did you get it printed at? Do you have a 3d printer?

 

Awesome!!!

 

It's great that they were able to fix it for relatively short money. Still, the company that made that bracket should reimburse you for your out-of-pocket cost. Then, they should redesign that bracket so that it doesn't fry the brake system. It still baffles me how they could not see that happening when they made the brackets. Did they not prototype it into a Tacoma to see how it fit?

Would you be able to print me out a full set and I will pay you for it?

 

Thank you for the kind words! I did consider a spade bit, however I felt the rubber drip piece would be super hard to hold still while drilling with a spade bit. Or, I would have to create something that would hold it down on both sides of the hole just to keep it in place. Just seemed like more work. Spade bits also don't give the cleanest cuts and I would have used a hand drill, don't have a drill press. I also thought about a boring bit as I have a few of them. None of the sizes I needed of course. The punch worked great with a mini sledge. Good luck!

 

Sorry no, don't want to deal with that since I'm in Canada, too complicated.

Anybody with a filament printer can do it, about 8hrs per drawer.

Mud flaps should be here in a few days. The damn road construction around my neighborhood leaves gravel everywhere and it’s already chipping the under side of the fenders

 

That little organizer is the best ten bucks you can spend on your truck

 

Wait whaaaaaaaaaat...... where is that posted. I want to rip it off

*EDIT* Never-mind I forgot I could use the Google machine

 

Those stem caps look good. Be careful though... I was looking into those, but came across a lot of information about that aluminum corrodes and can fuse, ruining the valve/tpms.
Though I believe there are preventative measures. Just in case ya didn't know!!
