What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i actually really like that OR grille, I feel it’s a bit underrated. If my truck came with that one I’d definitely keep it.

 

Yeah I love it, I just don’t like the grey color it is from factory. I’ve had 4 grilles now and as soon as I put it on I knew this is the one I was keeping.

 

ive taken it off before, took less than 5 minutes. it is just as easy as in that video.

 

No pics, but I got a pair of Philips H9 bulbs and a couple of extensions to mod. I swapped the H9s in place of the original H11s. They are noticeably brighter and it's a pretty cheap mod. About $30 for the bits on Amazon.

 

There’s a member that sells them.

Looks great. I’m looking to do the same thing. The pro grille is nice but everyone and their cousin has one.

 

There’s a spray called Bulldog that is an adhesive promoter. It basically etches what ever plastic you spray it on and helps the paint adhere. You spray it with that and then do the color. Last but not least I would recommend a coat or 2 of clear. Hope it helps!

 

No, it's not.

This video was a little more realistic. I'm a wussy when it comes to forcing things that don't seem to want to go. As careful as I tried to be, I still broke 2 tabs off the armrest box trying to separate it from the shifter/e-brake part of the center console (grrrrr...). No one else will ever know, but I will.

 

I used the Dupli-Color adhesion promoter figuring there'd be no question whether it was compatible with their paint or not. Something didn't go right, not sure why yet, but thanks...

 

Installed my Meso Puddle Lights, Overhead 6 Switch panel and relocated Auto High Beam Switch. The lights are awesome but the passenger Pod didn't fit. I had to use my rotary tool and cut out an inner support to make it fit.

 

So....somehow they have double sent me the black overlay “Tacoma” x2 and the “V6”. Anybody interested in them is welcome to meet me in the Hood River/White Salmon area and pick them up, no charge.
FTF only.

 

Wow!!!! Looks awesome! What products did you use? Mine could use a good cleaning.

 

No fun giving someone the business when they're having a problem and trying to resolve it.........
But once that problem has been resolved.....

 

I’ve removed my center console several times but always kept the leather boot of the parking brake attached but inside out. You then can easily detach the leather boot from the center console. There’s a metal ring around the base of the leather that snaps into the console.

Fend-X liners by @cnote4l look good , but my template skills are sub par and butchered a few mounting locations
“Good enough for the girls I go out with though!”

Reinstalled the front coil overs that were rebuilt by @desertjunkie760 due to cracked and leaking hoses. Got the new design of hoses, brackets and hardware. If you are in the San Diego area, I’d recommend him.

 

That has to be a first

 

Did you tint the front emblem? 2020 grille looks great painted black. Should have been this way stock

 

I would really like to do this. I am concerned about the TSS sensor though.
