What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've always ran 91 octane so can't vouch for it being better because I don't use the others.
These last posts are right, though. It's a truck. Didn't exactly purchase it for fuel economy.
I travel a whole 10mi/day so a tank lasts me forever.
The only reason I'm monitoring it now is, for 1 this site made me more conscious about it. and 2 I'm watching to see if changes I've made affect it.
The "scoop" I'm referring to is the intake accelerator that sticks into your fender.

 

Thank you sir!

 

etsy has the steering wheel black out emblem for like 15.00 and don't forget the sticker for the glove box key hole

 

If somebody does something to their truck and they notice an increase or decrease of gas mileage they're getting, isn't that basically what they did to their truck today.? Isn't that the point of this thread?

And because of the name of the thread, isn't this post off topic?



This is just an observation, nothing more.

 

did you notice any difference cutting the scoop off? I installed a gutter rain guard to prevent chipmunks from crawling in my airbox.

 

How do you reset your ecu, especially if i am not using a pedal commander?

 

Not sure about the Leer, but the BakFlip folds all the way up against the back window so you have access to the entire bed in a few seconds. Also like the look of the flush-mount.

 

That is good thinking. Great awareness. Too many install them for "appearances" and not functionality. Keep them where you have them and don't hit any critters!

Might have to change their name away from ditch lights though.

 

Question,
Im asking here as I searched the site and can't find the answer.
So , Please explain in easy to understand terms. Thanks.

If i want to change my wheel and tire size, and have Tire pressure monitors installed, How do i get the Tacoma to see the new tpm sensors working with the vehicle and what do i do with the old sensors so the vehicle stops seeing them? I am going to order a set of wheels and tires from Custom offsets. or tail built offroad.

 

Yeah the install was easy, straight forward, I did have a problem with the driver side back hood hinge bolt but finally got that in. If I didn't have to mess with that bolt it would have taken about an hour, that's including all the zip ties and replacing the switch in the cab. Just take out the front hinge bolt, put the bucket in place, hand tighten it, then take out the rear hinge bolt and slide it in to place then tighten everything up.

 

When you take your new setup to your shop for install, they will remove your existing TPMS sensors from your current setup and then move them to the new set. At least that is what Discount Tire did for mine. Not sure what everyone else is seeing.

 

You are correct, They were point more forward when I took the picture, since then I have angled them more out to the sides, took awhile to get the angles right but looks and works like it's supposed to now.

 

It's the top pic in my post. DISCONNECT BOTH! battery terminals and hold them together for about 15min.
I don't see many comments on resetting ecu. Everyone jumps into testing voltage and scanning 1st.
When cable goes out 1st thing you do is reset the modem.
When your phone/pc do an update it asks to do a restart.
Whenever you call any tech support, 1st thing they ask, Did you restart your computer?
Todays vehicles are no different.

Installed some black and red sr5 taillights. Bye-bye chrome!

 

Me too! Twinsees.

Have the black TRD 4x4 bed decals ready to install next.

 

Removing the intake accelerator, alone, didn't notice much change.
I can't remember the formula but for every bend in a pipe you can add x-amount of feet in piping. example. 1 90deg bend is equivalent to having an extra 10ft of pipe.
I'll be moving to my exhaust next. Try and open it up a little.
Good flow in, Good flow out.
The less restrictions the better

 

NO MORE CHROME!

 

WICKED COOL

 

In pool plumbing for every elbow in 1 1/2" pipe is equal to 10" of pipe due to cavitation, so less elbows makes the water flow well.....

How can you make the truck sound louder without changing the whole exhaust out ? like giving it a little growl ?
