What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Knocked out the high clearance/“viper” cut in time for wheelin’ next weekend!

 

Added a little retro 80’s throw back to the black Tacoma for Fathers Day. Compliments well with my time circuits start up screen.

 

Removed the factory bump stops and installed some sumo springs to help with the bro lean I was getting with our camping gear and kayaks loaded.

I’m sure I’ll eventually be upgrading the leaf pack, but these work well for now.

 

Likewise!

 

A few things

 

MESO dual color map and dome lights put in.

 

Nice just did those too

 

huge upgrade, especially since I do a lot of night driving. The white light is 100x brighter than the factory and not to mention the LED bulbs I had in before.

 

Have you considered adding the VLeds footwell lighting? It pairs well with the map and dome lights.
Footwell Lights That Don’t Suck | Tacoma World

 

Ordered them last week haha.

 

I've fixed a few tires with large pieces like you had. It's tricky, I've used 2 plugs in the same hole before but I would not be crazy about doing that on my daily driver. The one I did was a shop truck that didn't leave the site. You may want to consider a new tire just for peace of mind.

 

I have the aqua blue footwell lights from Vleds. I love them but wish the wire leads were a little longer. I got the lights stuck in place and found out I should have maybe mounted them off center of the footwells closer to the center console. The wires on mine connecting the two are a little tight which makes it harder to route the wires where I have them. As for the red map lights I swapped out the drivers side with a sylvannia red bulb, I like having a red option for me while driving and still the bright white option on the passenger side, looks odd when all the lights are on at the same time

 

I’ll probably end up installing my VLEDs at night so hopefully I’ll be able to avoid placing them where I don’t like them, assuming the wiring is long enough.I ordered the red ones too.

your last point is exactly why I went with the Meso dual colored ones, give ‘em a click and they’re all super bright white or if you know you’re driving at night and will need em on, click em to red. Really is a great design.

 

Yeah I went this route to see if I liked the red light more than anything, eventually I’ll switch to the MESO dual color mod.

 

I added the Fumoto valve, but I really like the redundancy of this design. Will switch it out next oil change thanks for the post.

 

Spent 275 on 4000k mi trip a couple weeks ago to Utah, most of it was going 70 mph except for in the mountains which was slower and then 75+ once we got back into friendly territory of Texas lol.

 

Welcome to TW. Great location for your truck mods...

 

It's a bit odd for me some days between my two trucks, the Tundra version maps are more like having two more domes in front due to so much bigger ~ more LED's. Probably 3X+ bigger than the Tacoma maps.

 

Finally fixed my bubbled Qi charger!

Tested it to confirm it's still useless (lost 1% of battery after 15 min with my Pixel 7 Pro), and then disabled the pad. At least it should stay flat now with no power going to it. Wish the pnp aftermarket one was still available.
Anyways, pic of my center console finally looking proper for the first time ever, since when I picked the truck up with 4 miles on it, it already had the bubble.

 

My '21 was assembled in San Antonio.
