What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The panel holding the cupholders? Easy. less than 5 minutes. Lower shift collar (base of knob), unscrew knob, pull ebrake, open lid to center console. Use plastic pry tools to lift panel, but only slightly. Reach in, unplug shift illumination cable. Lift rest of way out, working the leather off of ebrake handle. Done, console top is liberated.

 

This was in Sante Fe.. There weren't any where I live but iirc, the sign said the lowest point was 8'8"

 

We got the wife into a yota today!

 

Meso lights - clear

 

Installed these new radio knobs. They should've been like this from the factory:

That's cool!

I tried 3 different caps before getting the Stant--all produced error codes.

I still have my OEM cap with tether. The Stant has not given off any error codes.

 

I've never used anything like that before; what do they do? Just curious and wanting to learn. Thanks.

 

I know you didn't ask me, but this is the one I used; it's aluminum (not that there is anything wrong w/ plastic):

Sorry about that; you'll have another chance when the kids get big. I just got my first truck exactly because I'm not driving carpool or doing stuff like that. Different toys for different stages. Maybe your next Tacoma will have a flux capacitor.

 

Not sure about aluminum in Wisconsin in winter for a gas cap holder. My luck the cap would freeze to it, but thanks!

 

Tacoma’s are great. They’re the perfect size truck, just not for hauling kids and all the crap they bring with them.

 

TC bed stiffeners, easy install…

 

Crap that's high. I'm worried about getting a roof rack and Yakima kayak mounts for it and still being able to park in my garage.

 

Front driver side wheel bearing started making a groaning noise at just 26,000 miles. No wobble yet but decided to replace it while temps are still above freezing.

Around here I believe it says 6’6 if I’m not mistaken which makes me nervous even in a stock truck lol looks so close

 

Where did you order yours from? I was about to order some. Thinking of painting the bolts also

 

Ordered from TC(total chaos)directly, might be easier to hit up ACE hardware for black bolts if you want to black out the mounting points.

 

Look is great, but I wouldn't want to have the gas mileage that comes with 37's.

 

Just be aware of what the black finish is… black oxide bolts are not corrosion resistant. This was a mistake that a colleague of mine made for exterior hardware a couple months ago.

Fortunately, it was caught before final installation. Unfortunately I had 1000 - 3/8” x 1” bolts that went to the steel recycler.

 

So about to do some clay bar action.. anyone have a recommendation or best wax to go with after clay bar is done. Had used zymol in the past l,but would like some fellow TW owners input.
