What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

splitting hairs here, but I don't like how the rav4 knobs go out past the radio slightly. I like these ones much better, but hope the hard plastic insert hold up.

 

My first set cracked early, I'm running my second set and the volume knob is already getting sloppy. I just ordered a different style and will see how they do.

 

that's disappointing, maybe I can stuff the OEM insert into the aluminum ones

 

Getting ready for my 3 & 2 lift next week with 33’s.So installed the factory tie downs to the rails to get ready to taco net the take offs.Hope all 5 tires fit in the bed so I get them home and then will list them locally for sale. So if anyone is in my area let me know if interested for a deal of a price with only 1100 miles on them like new. Anyway sure enjoying my Flip-Bak bed cover it’s very well made looks very nice and let me clear off my back seat and turn my bed into one big Bugout bag lol.

 

That’s them!

 

3 weeks since I've installed mine & very satisfied with their performance;

Try the AJT Radio knobs. I really like mine.

 

if/when these fail I will try those, thank you

 

The Etsy/Tacomods stick out quite a bit as well. That’s why I thought I’d like them. Provide more of a grip surface than the little ‘pancake’ OEM knobs.

 

Those are the ones I just ordered/received. I'm hoping for a better long lasting solution.

 

I have had the AJT Knobs for about a year and they have been really good so far.

 

I noticed that about my Tacomods too. I thought it was the volume stalk on the head unit. I wonder if it’s cracked already?

 

hahah. I was half joking but also knowing I am super OCD myself I couldn’t not joke. Hahah.

 

Finally got around to finalizing my rear fogs.
Here is everything, turned off.

Here is reverse (with the SSC1Rs turned off)

Here is the rear DRLs

And here is the rear fogs

What isn’t lit up here (yet) is the sidemarkers that will be parking lights and turn signals combined, as well as the puddle lights.

 

Dope

 

With the weather around 95-101 and 80%+ humidity in Tennessee lately I decided to install a transmission cooler to replace my stock. Very simple install and I plan on installing a push fan for it as well and the fan will be switched by a thermostat most likely but I’m still researching whether to do that.
The cooler alone I’ve noticed an average of transmission fluid temps about 8 degrees lower than with stock one. My temps up hill pulling nothing at times we’re getting close to 212 and while towing a 16ft tandem axle box trailer It was reaching 220-230. I’ve also got a OTT tune and have had a KD Maxx tune for the last 80k miles so I drain and fill my fluids regularly with Amsoil ATF and Amsoil severe gear 75-90w.
This is a Mishimoto product that’s listed for a 2nd gen but it fit my 2017 TRD Sport nearly perfectly with no modifications. It’s about twice the size of stock. I had to add about .4 quart of ATF fluid with new cooler. May install a bypass at some point

 

Which Kicker speakers did you get? I just got the Kicker CS series. I'm planning to install them after I get my truck back from the body shop.

 

Hello Tacoma Owners Today I Installed some new KMC wheels wrapped in Ko2 285/70r17 on my 3rd gen. I also added the cali raised catalytic converter shields.

 

Another mod I did last weekend was a J and L “Oil Separator”. I’m happy with the extra peace of mind with it and I went ahead and changed out my pcv valve as well

 

Since they’re not coming from Crutchfield and Amazon instead, will they come with the right adapters and harnesses ?

Or does Crutchfield include them for free?
