What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

 

Latex gloves are your friend. Also remove the bezel before install. Makes it 100x easier.

 

Good advice! Thank you! Just ordered 2 sets to be on the safe side.

 

yeah I’ve used coke before, it works, but the baking soda and water mixture is more effective and washes away easily and doesn’t leave any sugary residue in your engine bay. I don’t like ants.

edit: this new AGM battery has brass terminals so it shouldn’t corrode nearly as bad as a regular battery.

also only put dialectic grease over the connections+terminal once it’s tightened, not before you bolt it down. Keep the electricity in and moisture out.

 

LEDs in the dome light fixture is the icing on the cake. Use the double LED panel(s) instead of a single bulb replacement.

Example of the panels in a kit

here. A slight (and easy) install modification is required. Easy bench work, then install. Have a look see here.

 

Did a cab mount chop today. Goin 285’s soon, and the weather was good and the wife was at work, figured why wait.


Now just have the pinch weld and fender to mess with if I rub.

 

Are those blue leds in your door handle? I was just complaining about not having a light in the handle of my truck. Did it come that way or did you install them?

 

Installed the OEM Power Tailgate Lock PK3B6-35JSO. Great addition to the truck.

 

Wired up the Rigid rear bumper lights today. I wasn’t moving very quickly but it took the better part of the day.
All worked out well, had the football games going in the background. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.


I ordered a new panel for the left driver side from MESO. Will add back my Auto Headlights and Traction Control buttons when it comes in. For now I have them under the dash.

 

I noticed the same thing!

 

I’m searching threads now for them. If you find them let me know and I will do the same.

Sounds good!

 

Nice find!

 

Awesome thanks. Is this the vendor that folks are having trouble with on the drivers side grab handle?

 

I cannot confirm or deny. All I know is this is the kit in question

 

Lest we forget this long and horse-beaten thread...Let the buyer beware here (last page first).

 

Can someone kind please help me find the part number of the OEM lower dash switch panel of a 2018 stock taco OR model which has the tech package? I have the meso one already. Thanks in advance.

 

no, those are the white leds that i purchased from ktjo4x4 and installed. easy install and all plug and play...

Yeah I have spent a lot of time reading as much as I can on this site and I remember reading a shoooooooort posting about them. Even so I really like the look and the actual usefulness of the accessory. Hmm what to do ????
