What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think it's supposed to trapped the fuel vapors so the smell doesn't bleed out. If I remember correctly, the TRD version doesn't have the mesh filter.

 

I removed mine when installing my K&N JR setup.

Thanks y0! The lights at full blast are a little overly sky blue, but dimmed down it matches and covers pretty well.

Here's another shot of the lighting:

 

Why does that sound familiar???

Nevermind

 

Just got an entune 3.0 from a Sienna up and running on my 2018

 

Yes it came with the chrome cover attached to the knob. It’s pricey but I really like it. However the damn thing gets HOT sitting in the sun. Lol. https://tinkererdesign.com/collections/ranger-series-shift-knobs/products/tacoma-3rd-gen-automatic

 

There is a cover for the automatic somewhere on Etsy.. I run a carbon fiber ball with mine. Didn’t notice any hp gains

 

What’s the advantage of this?

 

The 2016-2019 3rd gen headunits don’t support Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and swapping to an aftermarket head unit you lose some of the OEM features on the instrument cluster info display. Swapping to this essentially retains all the OEM features plus adds carplay functionality

 

Where'd you pick yours up from and what cost?

 

55k miles.

 

Plug and play, or did you need an adapter harness?
I’m guessing you have the non JBL system. I wonder if it would work swapping JBL for JBL also.

 

I got pretty lucky, I found this one on eBay from a reputable recycled parts seller that had the headunit w/ the navigation unit still attached for under 300 bucks.

 

Yep non JBL, I had to get an adapter harness to make this work. I got mine from AutoHarnessHouse. I believe you can swap a JBL for JBL as long as it’s the 2020+ Tacoma JBL headunit, I recall reading the Sienna JBL headunit would not work with the Tacoma amp. If you email AutoHarnessHouse Brian is super helpful if you tell him what system you have and what will work with it

 

By any chance do you have a part number of that harness so I can keep that in mind so when I swap mine in the near future. Thanks in advance

 

I cut down / out the "son" of a forsaken pine three that grew up from a stump / root system that was removed 15 years ago. So I used my truck as a truck. Loaded the bed with the fragments, and hauled it up the hill to my burn pile. Put it in 4-Lo to stretch its legs...

Bonus was that a bird must have nested in it some time ago. Growing inside this thing is a beautiful maple tree, maybe 8 ft tall. Now that the ugly pine won't be competing with it for water, this think should take off...

 

Soooo... dumb question regarding the OE QI charger. I've seen them dissed repeatedly but ours seems to work fine. It's slooooow and gets pretty warm, but does seem to work on our iPhones. So why do the cool kids hate on them so much? TIA!

 

Love the look. I too, went with aqua, to match the dash lighting.

My first ride was a '78 Buick powder blue in and out. For that old dog, I tapped into the instrument cluster lights, and connected a string of 4 Christmas lights (in blue, of course) to light the foot-wells. I was so psyched when these were put on the street that I could do it again...

 

Hey Folks!

I got this AutoSky Wireless CarPlay today. It works great, no lag or startup time. I used Velcro to stick it under the dash and keep it out of the way. Give it a shot. It’s totally worth the $60 to get the wires out of the way.

Oh man that sound sketchy lol.

I've had footwell lights on my last 2 cars (cold cathodes on my Mazda6 and then led strips on my tC2 daily driver). It's so much nicer to use these VLEDS that just plug into each other. I don't like tapping into factory wiring, but I was okay with it in this case seeing as how I'll never use the OEM Qi charger again.

 

Since the BAKflip lets you use your bed rails and the full bed I think it got a lot of attention. Now I think others are adding and/or have those features.
I really do like my MX4.

Wait....King BAKflip? I thought the play was King Leer...
