What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Brought the truck inside. Ian's coming. Be safe everyone.

 

This week I put in the Toyota OEM led headlights. I like the light spread better than the halogens. Next up is getting them aimed, i put them what i think is a bit low so I don't blind traffic until I have them setup correctly.

 

You be safe as well!

 

want to throw my 2c here..

Unless you really like the form factor of Blackvue products, buy something else. For that price point, you can buy a StreetGuardian or VIOFO brand for a 1/3 of the price with better quality video quality and support.

 

Found on fb marketplace $50 shipped
The collar got delivered after I took the picture. Much better shifter

 

I got one too. I love it.

 

Let me know if you need any help. @caribe makaira has been trying to get me to do something like this for a while

 

Did a weight addition mod


The increase in weight is definitely worth it, in my opinion. The RigRunner I have in the back has a low-voltage cut-off (LVCO) of 11.5v and it no longer resets or alarms upon starting the truck. It's truly a wonderful thing when the radio or radar detector stays on when you start the truck from the accessory position.

For reasons as to why I chose this battery, see crashnburn80's thread here.

EDIT: For future reference, the J-bolt hold down torque spec is 48 in-lb (5.4 nm)

 

No problem. I have some other posts in this thread about the PITA it was and some recommendations for the install. You can also check my build thread linked in my signature below. If you have questions, just let me know.

 

Added a TruXedo TruXsport Tonneau cover and gas cap holder to my new 2022 Tacoma! I have a Pop-N-Lock tailgate lock that arrived today and needs to ne installed. Still need to order mudflats and eventually sime side steps. Getting there1

 

This spooky little dude will have a unique vantage point for the next month.

 

Thanks to a deer I hit recently, the truck had to go into the shop. Part of the replacement list was headlights, grille, and fogs - so I did what any good 3rd Gen owner would do and asked to upgrade the parts while they were at it.

‘22 LED headlights (plus the @daveeasa FBC headlight conversion harness)
TRD Pro grille
TRD Pro Rigid Industries LED fog lights

 

A very Tron feeling about it

 

Do you have the power seat option?

 

Kicker’s make a noticeable difference, especially the tweeters. Did the same, just trying to decide on an amp now so that they can show their full potential/output.

 

Pics?

 

Installed the Daystar cradle kit for my Firestone airbags. Lift ready!

 

Did my pre-winter underbody inspection and have all scratches fixed on protective coating (no bad surprises, just routine scratches)
and body detailing- cleaning, wax, ceramic spray. Even tire dressing (doing that very rare ly). Love the result!

 

Looking good!

 

Thanks, man!
