What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Is there any testing that you’ve seen to prove this claim? The stock intake with the resonator chamber has a lot of engineering by Toyota behind it.

 

I can only say from personal experience that I can drop the tranny into 3rd coming onto the highway, climb to 4500 rpm before each upshift and the Tacoma actually "hauls ass". It does not seem sluggish anymore when I want to accelerate quickly.

 

Sounds like a supercharger. I’m guessing most of what you are experiencing is the noise which makes it seem faster.

 

Initially I got a "tune" from yotatune.com
Then I added the HPS silicone tube about 6 months later. Then a few weeks after that I added the TRD air flow accelerator. Each mod was an improvement but certainly the "tune" made the most significant improvement. All of these adding up has improved my overall driving experience. The truck accelerates quicker, pulling capability is better and yes, there is an increase in sound which is noticeable but not loud.

 

Installed a new CPS pigtail after getting chewed by rodents…. No more CEL! Wasn’t too bad of a job. Solder, heat shrink, tesa tape.

 

what do you use the second battery for?

 

think you’ll be pleased my truck feels more like a truck now.

 

Lost a few clips after the speaker mod. went ahead and just ordered these to keep handy….

 

That’s what’s up me too

 

Did the wide angle mirror from AliExpress. I transferred the OE BSM light. I decided not to wire the turn signal.
For now it’s only on the passenger side.

 

Installed a Banks Pedal Monster to replace an EBay 9 drive. The track mode is ridiculous, I've settled on Sport mode at the 6th level out of 10.

 

Nice upgrades!

 

Quick wash, been a busy day but it desperately needed a scrub...

 

Tufskinz mud flaps work great on an SR without flares.

 

Got a pair of MOLLE panels from Extreme Terrain. Driver’s side is still on back order but figured I would install the passenger to see how it fits. All in all, I like it. I may look for some thicker bushings for the other side. I used longer bolts with lock nuts where the kit came with screws, and the clearance between the panel and console is a little snug.

 

Hiline bumper. Deciding if I want to do a high clearance cut.

 

Just drove it. Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of ownership

 

Giving the frontmost skid plate some love.
