What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

could you take a picture of the backside of that switch panel, specifically where the cubby hole light is located? would like to change that light out with something else but not sure what all needs removed to get that light out and a new one in... thanks!

 

That looks just like the 2022 Hot Wheels version! Nice!

 

Tacoma Lifestyle ....... no sealant

 

Haven't had much of a chance to use it, but it sits nicely within the grill

 

Sharp pics!!

 

Sweet!

 

Mike’s Custom Toys for an easy to deal with transaction, and great knowledge to boot.

I’m looking forward to installing the 6112/5100 set up. Keeping it stock height, and pretty much stock overall except for the Harrop rear e-locker and the Bilstein stuff. Thasit. Under the radar SR5 4x4 work truck.

 

Any issues with the cat shield?

 

Installed a Tuffy security box in the rear cubby. Not For Knox, but I like it. ...I also added the scratch...like an idiot!

No issues, just make sure you have at least 1/4” clearance between the shield and the front driveshaft. Unknowingly, mine was touching at first, and then I readjusted it to increase the gap. I’d still like more clearance But all in all, all good.

 

Thank You!

 

You are exactly right. I left the hood up after install and had a few cold ones while checking it out. So every 3500 miles when I change the oil and filter (I know Toyota says every 10k miles, but that is messed up) I can admire it again with several cold ones.

 

I love mine... light up the world, you can see the deer before they dart out in front of you..

 

Thank you!
I’m paying to get it done. Didn’t want to deal with all that crap.

JAKE!!!

 

Changed out back door speakers. Cursed a lot. Broke a lot of plastic clips. Why can’t we just use screws folks

 

Got my Snugtop Rebel installed last week. As I suspected it made the rear leafs sag. I intend to carry weight, will be adding a ladder rack, so needed a solution.
Installed RAS helper springs, lifted the rear slightly, which I’m happy with because of the issues that’ll occur if the rear sags further with added weight. I already get high-beamed quite a bit with an empty bed and stock, factory aimed LED headlights. As I jacked up the rear of the truck, the leaf springs, with less than 1500 miles, were pretty much flat. Not real happy with that. Installed Total Chaos bed stiffeners, adds some tie off points. Often have large items I need to secure, the lack of stock tie-off points similar to earlier model Toyota trucks is pretty lame. Installed Pop & Lock rear electric tailgate lock. The tailgate being locked with the fob at the same time as the cab should absolutely be standard on every Tacoma.

 

Replaced driver side Lower control arm today bc my bushings and lower ball joint had give out after 148k miles and riding rough.. now the 8112s feel like I’m riding on freaking air New
