What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Wouldn't some GooGone and isopropyl alcohol clear that right up?

 

I'd think, unless its paint discoloration due to the sticker protecting it from the elements

 

Thanks! I thought the same thing after I pulled the vinyl off. I didn't really mind it that much, but after removing it I l think I like this look better for my truck.

 

If you're interested I have an extra set of reflective black vinyl letters for this grille. you can see them here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/toyota-pro-grill-reflective-vinyl.634491/page-20#post-25838847

 

The bed side is metal. I’m going to actually drill a couple small holes in the corner gussets to allow for water drainage. I was concerned about a rust issue as well.
I’ll finish buttoning it up this weekend. I need to install the reverse sensors, light pods, and clean up the wire harness.
Taking it Monday to test out on a trail called Eldorado Canyon here in Northern Nevada. It’ll be nice to not tear off the factory bumper for once. I replaced bumper caps and bumper supports 4 times this year on the factory bumper.

 

Nice, I'm the same (stock). A lift and some rubber would be nice, but, can't justify the cost considering it would make getting dirtbikes in the back harder than it already is.

 

That may be why they broke out the 2nd window. Hoping for an alarm for excitement and effect and didn't get it from the first window.

 

Got new rubber put on the new wheels, 16” SCS ray 10s in gunmetal and 285 75 cooper ST MAXX tires, and gave them a home next to the deaver springs. Just waiting on shocks

 

Looks great without the b-pillar vinyl! One of those mods that is super easy and adds a ton of benefit to the overall look IMO.

 

Installed the hondo garage unholey mounts with their tablet and phone holders. About to go see how they do on some rough roads.

 

The short answer is “no”; the long answer is “kinda.” Toyota added CarPlay retroactively for some models, but the Tacoma wasn’t one of them. However, BeatSonic makes an interface that is plug and play, but the resolution isn’t great. The one they sent me also had no sound, so I sent it back and got refunded.

You can also add an Entune 3 system (I.e., swap your unit for a 2020 and up unit) with a special wiring harness. This is $$$. I’ve only ever seen this done on here with non-JBL units, but I assume if you swapped a JBL for a JBL, it would work, but that’s just an assumption.

 

At the Tire Shop looking at new Tires

 

You gonna go with the furthest on the right, that’s partially out of the frame?

 

Looks like a good choice.

Just messing around. Actually I’m at our fleet maintenance yard getting a new tire on my work truck. F250


They put a Kevlar Wrangler on.

 

Back on Topic, put a Lowmax Tri fold cover on.
Had to MacGyver the Top of the back clamps so they worked with the Total Chaos Bed Supports.

 

Thank you, my system is the non JBL, premium infotainment head unit.. I like the sound of the swap, but thinking it would have to come from a totaled newer taco to be within grasp..
Then outsource the adapters from the dealer..
Not sure of the pricing for any of it, but you have planted the seed

 

Roadmaster active suspension installed. Overall pleased with the ride - its not as "bouncy" and rear feels planted - granted only about 15miles test drive. I have them set at the lower setting and haven't towed anything.

 

Watch the buy, sell, trade on here. People who put in aftermarket stuff sell them for cheaper. If you use the search bar, you can probably find the harness maker. I can’t think of it off of the top of my head, but it’s not through the dealer. It’s aftermarket but still plug and play.

 

Thanks! Yes I agree with you, and best of all, it didn't cost anything haha

 

Just a suggestion. After I adjusted mine I covered the threads in a bit of grease and then put a length of black split wire loom over them to keep them clean.
