What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Super easy. 20 minutes total. Plug and play.

 

It’s the little things. This was a 15 min mod. And the kind you can’t tell you did after, which is a good thing imho if you catch my drift.

I know others have done it too and thanks for those posting. Made it easy for me to pull trigger and know it works with my bumper. SSO hybrid - which I also love.

 

Tires do have codes on them to identify them. Even though you may have RH it will still cost you when one is replaced. Also if the tire shop wants to be tough to deal with they can deny your RH claim for many reasons. This is food for thought.

 

Glad to hear it! It's crazy how many people think they're snake oil or placebo effect. If you have any issues with them let me know!

 

Looks like it was a winner!

Not perfect, but the manufacturing was good at least.
I think I might now know why so many have had issues with these beyond manufacturing problems.

KTJO has now changed the way the l lower faster attaches; from a blind nut clip to a fairly wimpy Jack nut.
I drilled out the body mount where the plastic clip for the OEM a-pillar sat with a 3/8" bit and used a stainless steel 1/4-20 nutsert. The 3/8" bit is just a tiny bit bigger than the OEM opening so it doesn't take much.

The issue I think folks run onto is that no matter how they attach the lower screw the angle of attack you need for a socket head (or in my case and Allen wrench) to get in there is NOT the same angle that the handle base it at.
The screw(s) have to be started at a much steeper angle than you would think looking at the handle.

 

Finally got some new wheels!
Konig Countersteer Type X from FN Wheels. Shout out to Dustin!
Love the stance.

 

2” Lift Billstein 5100s with Dobinsons Coils up front 5100s with Icon 1.5” Add A Leaf out back handled by Flat Out Auto in Buford GA.

 

icon stage 10 kit installed. pulled cam bolts out to put anti sieze on them. a couple were already stuck super tight after only 6 months and 7000km and the truck being fluid filmed from new. there was actually water inside the bushing sleeve. youd think toyota would redesign this better after all these years

 

I did the button swap. Got annoyed

 

It took some patience with the laminx but I was able to get it done to my satisfaction. Just kinda freehand cut the shed to a rough oversized elongated triangle and the after getting it where I wanted it I used an exacto to trim.

 

Call "Tacoma World Anonymous". Stricter privacy rules because of the utter shame and humiliation the recovering TW members feel.

 

Have my Tscosha inspected and undercoating re-sprayed by the company it was done 4 years ago. Good , it just before white fly's season!

 

I still have all my camera views.

 

Do you also have the "overhead" 360 degree view for parking? Any chance of posting pics of the interface for the cameras?

 

tires do have serial #'s

 

tire is branded like cattle

 

Picked up my new truck from the dealer and got straight to mods. TRD button, shift knob, Pro lights, Tint, Vled full brake converson kit, front air dam removal, vinyl strip removal between doors.

 

This is what I’ve got besides the forward camera and reverse…

 

Awesome! Thanks for doing that!

 

Thanks. Ya, they changed out the tire under the RH warranty that I bought the original tire with. I think it would have been $310+tax etc. w/o the warranty. I went ahead and bought another RH warranty for the new tire. Too much debris on the roads where I live, man. More likely to get non repairable damage going mall crawling than trail crawling.
