What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I am 1600+ posts behind, so if this has been covered already, apologies.

Getting the state inspection this morning and I was told there is now a recall on the third brake light leak for the 18's.

 

Yessir. They are holding up great, I would recommend them if you get your truck dirty often

 

If they only designed the double cab 3rd brake light like they did the access cab brake light then there would never have been any of these leaking issues. Shame on Toyota for not standardizing things like this.

 

I’m gonna bite the bullet on them eventually. Best looking ones I’ve seen.

 

There is this TSB: https://m.imgur.com/a/COCsLHq but it’s from 2018 and subject to the 3-36,000 warranty. I don’t know if there has been anything else to cover it since.

 

Rough Country Speedometer Calibration unit.

Finally got the flush mounted DMH-WC6600 NEX installed with the Maestro RR to retain steering wheel controls.

 

Not really, RLD is more of an upright cap while RSI got an angle. That's why I chose the RSI (didn't even get it yet) over the RLD!

 

That looks super sleek. 9” screen?

 

Yes, https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/NEX/DMH-WC6600NEX

 

They actually fit quite well for seat covers and don’t move around at all. They are the best seat covers I’ve seen that don’t need to be professionally installed.

 

That's the one!

 

Took her in for her last free oil change and tire rotation.
This morning they call and say my special order parts have come in and I need to make an appointment to get them installed. I said I didn't order any special parts and she says "O, your service advisor didn't tell you? It's for the third brake light recall".
They ran her thru the car wash after servicing so I though, yeah, they found a leak. Just went out and looked at the headliner and there's no sign of a leak so I'm glad they mentioned it.

How long does it take for Toyota to fix a problem anyway?

 

Years... if ever

 

Where did you get the flags?

 

Had to get the rearview reprogrammed after a new garage door and opener were put in a few weeks ago. After some research, the Homelink in the mirror needed a "bridge" in order for it to work. About $30 on Amazon.

The mirror came from Bob's Mirror (@RJP869).

Took me all of about 5 mins to do.

So if you recently got a new garage door and opener and your Homelink isn't working, might need the bridge.

 

Interesting. Is this due to newer technology in newer door openers?

 

Yes.

The new garage opener has wifi built into vs. the 20 year old one that was there previously. The mirror operates on an older technology vs. new garage opener. You can download an app and open the garage door that way. However, signal in garage is pretty weak. Could be remedied with a signal booster. But I'm satisfied with the bridge.

For now.

Installed the JLT Catch Can today, super easy too! 30 minute install tops.

 

Post up what you get in it. I've had JLT catch cans before other other vehicles. Curious how much "stuff" it collects in 30 days.

 

That reminds me, I need to check mine to see if there's anything in it.
