What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm glad I got mine with a MATD installed. (Manual)

 

Millennial Anti Theft Device

 

Wheels clubs arent very affective but will keep thieves away as its an "obstacle". My dad had a club on his 1995 Ford Escort, the thief broke into his car and took the steering wheel airbag without removing the club hahaha it was very impressive.
Usually they will take a hacksaw and cut the wheel so the can take the club off. This thief was very clean with his break in, in and out.

 

I have the Mini 2 and love it. I've been using it for almost a year now. No issues at all. Garmin does not have a front & rear combo dash cam kit. If you want one for the rear of your car, you'll have to:

1) Choose another brand.
2) Do what others have done and put another Garmin Mini 2 on your rear window. It will still record and work properly.

 

I got the Garmin mini as well, a great little cam that stays out of the way. Some buy another as the interface can accept it and place it in the back window. The deal is you got to run the cable though to it.

 

Good brewery

 

I upgraded my forward cam and moved the old one to the rear. Plugged it into the port in the center console and sometimes it would come on and sometimes it wouldn't. Unplugged it from the center console and plugged it into the dash and it's been rock solid ever since. Toyota electricals are wonky.

 

Sometimes old school methods work the best...

 

Nothing yet, because it hasn’t come in…

But I’ve already purchased new wheels (17” TRD Black Alloy for 4Runner) so that my Tacoma has a two-tone look! Black and red.

 

Yes, very effective! But who would want to risk jail time or worse for a Ridgeline?

 

my RRW is arriving today. I noticed they don’t have any install instructions for the bumper. Any guidance on cutting ? Cant seem to find any guides or measurements for the cut.

what did you do?

 

He got the R4T bumper caps, so no cutting: https://runnin4tacos.com/products/bumper-caps-2016-2020-toyota-tacoma?_pos=1&_sid=718c73530&_ss=r

 

yeah, I saw these. Nice Idea, I just can’t justify the 350$ pricetag. And honestly I hate the idea of having an OEM bumper laying around my yard until days end . So I say, cut the bitch

 

Whats funny is its actually cheaper to buy a whole new aftermarket front bumper than it is to buy those. Aftermarket front bumpers range from $90-$180...

*before anyone says "thats aftermarket, OEM is super expensive" yes, but the bumper cap things from r4t are also aftermarket.

 

I also found a TW source!

Tacos4cheap has a variety of colors available and ships out quick.

Vroom.
No experience with them directly, but some other post or article made me take a look at customer experiences...
When you look at the reviews, sorting by most recent, and there is nothing but 1 star reviews, detailing all sorts of comm and transaction issues, going back months.... stay away!

 

When they came out the paint matched ones were only $225. I bought a set but then decided to go with SSO full plate, that requires cutting them anyways.

 

Hahaha. Nah, not a quarter as dangerous as me and my friends when we were not much old that my kids tying truck innertubes to a go-kart with studded tires and racing around a neighborhood on snow-covered streets..... There's only one section of the drive where we could get going at a decent pace and there was no chance they'd hit the truck or anything else.

 

Next time, find a spot where you can get the truck to do some four wheel drive donuts and give the kids a science lesson in centrifugal force. Absolutely no chance you run them over, but a slight chance you could send them into Low Earth Orbit.
