What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Same with Airplane!

 

Surely you can’t be serious?


Really bad few days at work caused me to get about 20 pages behind on here. Finally able to get back to the thread looking for a pick-me-up just to find out about @Tully-D Very sad I can’t remember how many times his posts helped me out or simply gave me a much needed smile. You and blue will be missed here.

 

Used provided hs ubolts? If you remember my issue, do you recall any gap on the ubolts (just contacts the edges) and did you use factory bumps or install the sumos (I thought you mentioned)?

 

Question about OEM door sill protector...is there a TRD Pro specific one?

I am confused because if I see it as an add on the sticker the price is $79 but if I look up the part itself it seems to be like $40ish...

 

I don't think there is a specific one for "TRD," it's (more or less) universal for all the Tacomas. They just say "Tacoma" on them.

 

Okay thats what I was thinking...so I am assuming the higher cost on the Window Sticker add in comparison to just the part itself is because they add labor cost with it??

 

Probably. It's something you can do yourself in less than an hour.

These were some I bought off Amazon (OEM ones):

$45 Genuine Toyota Parts - Door Sill Dcab Taco (PT747-35201-02), Black

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082XHQFKZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I had it installed while I was working. I’ll take a look at it in the morning and let you know. I left the stock bumps in vs. sumos.

 

I use that line at work all the time!

 

My 2017 TRD OR access cab came with the door sill protectors. Is this not standard?

 

Got my sema wheels delivered today.
Such a beautiful wheel.
I actually bought these in June 2020 for my 2016 taco.... then my truck was totaled at the end of July 2020.
Been slowly getting back to normal and feel like I got a part of myself back by getting these wheels for my 2019 taco.
Now, I'm on the hunt for wildpeaks for the best price possible, as they've gone up quite a bit since I bought a set for the 2016 back in June.
So far, best price delivered I've found is $620...
Either way.. super stoked to have these, can't wait to get on the truck and restore some normalcy to my life.

Wear your seatbelt yall

 

I don't believe it is standard. Check your Window Sticker. It should be listed there as an option. Unless it was different back in 2017

 

Actually, I identify as male, oh wait......

 

This is absolutely not true. When bored read up on this.
"The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act prohibits product manufacturers from conditioning consumer warranties on the use of any original equipment part or service. Furthermore, a manufacturer can only deny warranty coverage if it can demonstrate that a non-original equipment part or related service caused a defect to occur in the original product. In the case of motor vehicles, new car manufacturers have ignored these conditions outlined in Magnuson-Moss and have misled consumers to believe that they must have dealer service shops install only original equipment replacement parts or fear having their new car warranty voided."
Basically they have to prove that your mod caused the problem that you are seeking warranty service for. My truck is modded and I've had no issues receiving warranty coverage.

 

There is a new and old version, the difference being that the new is longer/bigger covering more real estate (maybe not by a huge amount but bigger nonetheless)
New-top
Old-bottom

 

Good sir, thank you for this!
Going to save me a lot of money.
There was so much confusion on my end when i saw all these 20-21 models with upgraded wheels/tires, suspension, etc.
Got jealous but was worrisome of my warranties!
Will further my research !

 

Check with Tufskinz. They have an Etsy listing (I can't get to here) that shows them as customizable. They have a mountain scene linked below.

Sometimes it takes a little arm-twisting but it's the law.

 

I hear that! I’m currently in the process of having their finance department fix my paperwork.
A buddy of mine has the SAME truck except his is not 4x4 or M/T. Same amount down, both had a co-signer, same finance duration however his payments are about $250 less than mine...
Both my co-signer and myself have better credit than my buddy and his co-signer...
