What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yea I was playing around with the brightness when I took that pic. That was about 2 ticks until it was maxed out, I adjusted the brightness back down so it doesn’t look as bright now.

Thanks guys. Those little covers are pretty cool. Simple stuff, a bit more refined. I will give the extra two to my son in law as I have an Access cab. I love how Amazon sellers have clean lists of fitment............not.

 

Raising the rear only makes sense if you're a midget.[/QUOTE]
If you are short legged like me(not a midget, just a little vertically challenged) then raising the rear makes sense. It takes the pressure off of the back of my legs. I just raised the rear of the seats with some 1/2" thick SS nuts and longer SS bolts. This also allows a bit more room underneath so I can install a big capacitor to supply the 4x channel and sub amplifier project I'm working on.

 

I got the adapters from etsy….

And the lights from Amazon...

$31 Seven Sparta 4 PCS Grill Led Lights with Fuse for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO OEM Front Grille, Not for Tacoma Off Road & Sport (Amber Light with Amber Shell)

They took a little force to get it installed correctly. I'm thinking of taking the lights out and trimming the plastic edges but maybe not....I'm the only one that will notice that they are not perfect. Overall I'm pretty happy with them. They just have a little rough edges on the plastic and the instructions were terrible. Just watch youtube videos for the install. I put them in the injector fuse so they are on when the truck is on.

 

Ordered one of these....cant beat free shipping...I hope

Built the bed rack myself so Im ready

Just my luck, not compatible with dual zone climate control.

 

Someone does, but I don’t remember who. They came out one month after I pulled min off, painted them, and put them back on.

when installing our Scheel Mann seats, I asked the installer to raise the passenger seat (where my 5’ 5” wife usually sits) high enough, both front and back just so I could still fit, I’m 6’ 5”. Wouldn’t have needed to if Toyota would sloped the hood. They must think an absolutely flat hood means a tough truck. Give me a break...

 

I find that the computer opens the throttle more for a given gas pedal position too.

Yeah! And the Hilux has a nicely sloped hood, which must mean it’s a lousy truck could used that when off-roading

Where did you wire them into the fuse box?

 

Welcome to TW Bud!

 

OdiN1701, and
OldGregg, thanks for the heads up on the grill difference.

 

Received and installed my KTJO power tailgate lock last night. Man that thing unlocks with the force!

 

Thanks to Tttacodan

 

Next time, just make sure you take a better picture of what you changed. So we can all see

 

Pretty sure he removed the front seats and the armrest off of the center console.
