What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The Tacoma World "Friday Thread" appears to be a phenomenon whereby an OP (Original Poster) asks a question at some point during a Friday (and it has to be on a Friday to be a true Friday Thread) and the question gets answered (sometimes over and over and over...). Whereupon, the thread then tends to digress from the originally asked question and can take some interesting directions. Occasionally, Friday Threads have been known to start earlier in the week, but these are not truly Friday Threads. Friday Threads are usually fun to follow for a day or two.

 

I didn't check if there was an issue. I just went out and checked and both mirrors are still adjusting just fine.

 

how did you get the red d rings to attach? mine only has one recovery hood on front passenger side.

that's a lot of $$$ for headlights. Do you know if the 2020 oem led headlights are direct bolt on plug and play to earlier models?

 

@momoe65
Demon Hooks. The OEM hook is removed and replaced with these using existing bolts and bolt holes. Among the easiest mods that you can do. One bolt per side and shouldn't take more than 15 min to do. A worthwhile mod for those of us with factory front bumpers.
Got mine on Amazon.

 

No, you need a conversion harness or wire them yourself.

 

ordered, thx

 

Before purchasing a used Extang Solid Fold 2.0, I saw plenty of early posts on divots or dimples forming in the panel closest to the cab. The one mine has is exactly where the foam block landed; strangely enough the other side did not have a divot yet.

Ended up taking those off and getting some rubber pipe insulation from HD and placing that through entire length. Should distribute weight more evenly if/when I have the cover open. Used gorilla 55lb all weather tape so hope it holds up.

 

Nope they need a harness that someone makes on TW, I sold my old headlights so I looked at it as only a $200 purchase

 

Welcome to TW Bud!

 

Welcome to TW! And yep, both very popular mods!

 

Another battery hold down tray bracket electrical device. It's never over is it?

Hmmm. I learnt taday! But my smartass cannot be confined to a 24 hour period once a week. I’m not even sure I could go a whole 24 hours without. I’d have to power down to do that.

 

The new 2020 LED headlights only have one connector. The TRD halogen headlights have 5 connectors and SR5 have 4. High, Low, DRL, Marker and Signal.The Alpha Rex headlights have a 4 connectors harness with a TRD DRL adaper for plug and play halogen replacement. Also with the Alpha Rex is a sequential module that can be installed for a cool power up sequence for power on and door lock/unlock features.

 

Nothing today but tomorrow's mail promises a package from @funman1steve, a TW member, which contains the:

Automatic ECT PWR Power Mode Default Always ON Device for a Toyota Tacoma 2016+

which he has available on eBay, all plug and play. https://www.ebay.com/itm/123768419718

 

Wear boots... tennis shoes those sparks will land on your shoes and make you dance... happened to a buddy of mine lol

 

Which headlights are these? Not the LED Projector headlights with the "ice cube" projectors are they??

 

I’m curious about this one, I only have really used the ect power when merging or passing on the highways... acceleration does feel nicer having it on. How does it affect mileage tho?

 

I finally got around to installing the oem bed lights, I also installed the Pop n lock for tailgate. Now I’m ready for a cover!
