What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hello TacomaWorld - just joined, and am on my third Tacoma (one of each gen) and figured this is a good thread to share.

I installed the Waterport 8gal tank yesterday and am LOVING IT. I live in Texas and it’s hot as fuck - having this bad boy on the bed rack to wet your hair after a friendly baseball game made this thing immediately worth it. Hopefully the pictures show up, I haven’t been in a message board since tumyeto skateboarding back in the days before blogs.

I’ll try to include some general photos as well!

 

That’s nuts that you’ve never used it and it bubbled. Does it affect all 3rd gens? And do they bitch about fixing it?

 

No if they all did it, it might actually be a recall instead of just a TSB. I tried to have them do it when I had the fuel pump recall done but they didn't have the part. That was a few months ago and I have not heard anything from them. I have not called to see if they ever actually got the part in though. I figured I would try again at my last Toyota care service in a few months.

 

Nice truck neighbor and welcome to TW.

 

Re-ran the air line for the remote chucks. Now you can't see the main line in the bed.

 

Drove it up a hill and did some target practice. My bro made a short clip for some fun. Happy Father’s Day Weekend!

Do you get repeatable groups with the bipod angled that way? Seems like it'll prevent the rifle from recoiling backwards in a consistent direction.

 

Bought two Element P/N 60100 fire extinguisher brackets, JB Welded them to the rail cap, and touched up with a black paint pen:



Plagiarized @Snail81's idea and made a depth checking pole from a Dollarama P/N 22-3055594 heavy duty broomstick. Put two duct tape bands on it, 1st band at the door seal level, 2nd band at the intake level. (With the lift and tires, the 2nd mark is just below my chest height.) Used Power Phase P/N 58656 4/0 AWG heat shrink to bump up the diameter for a tight fit in the brackets:



Clears the folding tonneau:

 

i ditched the prop rod and added some hella supertones because they taunted me from the perpetual projects shelf.

also cleaned up the oil spill that the dealer called 'engine shine' under the hood a little...

 

show us the wiring setup on the hellas......had a set setting on the shelf for 2 years.....just have not got to them.

 

I use my Tacoma's Qi charger regularly, I have a iPhone 8 in an Otterbox Defender case. No issues with charging.

 

Putting this here, because later today I’ll post my OD at 16K on my 2016.

 

Had a little fun on Pucker Pass in Moab coming back from Canyonlands.

 

I love how these trucks look....after they have been upgraded with suspension tires rims etc.
Sad if they never get any of that and have to stay slumped nose down and plain.

 

I thought the same thing but after the last time (has to have been 20 +/-) I noticed the 3 red clips near the console box fell off and the plastic it attaches torn up
This part of the console literally just goes straight up.

My “fix” in the picture didn’t hold but it’s still secure and doesn’t rattle (but bothers my when I’m reminded)

 

Bam. Like this. In regards to my last post.

 

Love this truck. Love the vinyl on the topper.

 

I think it’s more of a Bedliner accent that’s is used on that model cap… I forget the name

 

apologize if asked already, any connectivity issues?
