What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My plan is to strap the cans down through their handles to my bed platform. I have L tracks on the platform and just wanted a box to help support the cans. I have the front tabs on the box so I can run some rope through it to help pull it from the back of the bed.

I'm going on a trip later this June and will post some pics of my bed load out when everything is installed.

 

Proud to say that the truck I’ve borrowed for the past 33 months is now the truck I’ve bought! Was a dipstick with the fact that I put so many modifications on a lease at the time, despite the fact I knew I intended to buy it out. Lesson learned. No letting dealerships talk me into leases when I intend to buy. Lol

 

Now she’s officially mine and I can start offloading the oem parts!

 

Hello awesome Tacoma people!!! My first post. Not certain if this is the best place to post my issue.

I have the dreaded rodent chewed the knock sensor harness issue. I have unplugged the harness from Knock sensors and main harness. The final step to remove harness is releasing it from its mounting location.

It appears to slide on the mount but but have no clue where to push to release the connector. I have ordered new harness but won’t arrive until tomorrow. Studying the new connector may provide a clue but was hoping to take old harness to match with new.

Any tips most appreciated. TIA.

 

Is that one of those where you need to take the clamp off too? My reverse switch is like that on the transmission. Thought I could just reach in and pop it off. My mechanic had to pull apart my shifter column and loosen the transmission mounts to get to it. He ended up just taking the whole bracket off that it was attached to. Almost looked like it wasn't designed to be taken off.

 

Relocated the rear diff breather then got bored and chopped the exhaust while I was down there

 

Todays expenditure: new tail lamps.

 

I went into the living room to grab a phillips and realized that's exactly what I did, lol. Tools are never where you need them to be, huh

 

Tools have legs.

 

Nice. Which ones are these?

 

Installed a 12v outlet in the bed for my fridge on road trips.
Bought this kit: https://www.genesisoffroad.com/12v-power-outlet

It was about the same price as buying all the components individually and it was just the right length (barely.) I could have used an extra foot of wires to make it neatly tucked away in the engine bay. As you can see the wires are running right over the top of my fuse box but it's good enough for me.
I removed the cubby and bolted a bracket I made from aluminum to hold the outlet.

Since I stay in hotels/airbnb on road trips I figured my factory battery is good enough for running the fridge since I would bring it inside at night.

 

I don’t think that’s where that goes. Not an expert though.

 

I saw them on Amazon, I think they were from CPW. A few sellers have them on eBay too, there are different choices of lens and lamp color. These are black with smoked lenses.

 

10mm sockets have Olympic Runners' legs!

 

That's why I have duplicates of everything.

 

Tossed on the RCI's. I didn't have black paint, so I had to settle for blue.
you can see the garbage speakers in the background

 

Sometimes it's worth paying someone to do a deep clean of the inside of your vehicle. That way you have more time for more mods. Kudos to a local auto detailing startup in St. Thomas Ont. They did an exceptional job.

 

Added some BAMF sliders thanks to @heybronicetacoma
A fresh powder coating and they are brand new sliders!

 

10mm sockets and wrenches don't just have legs. They are possessed of a preternatural ability to teleport out of this material realm entirely, on nothing more than a whim.
