What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey man sent you a dm on those headlights!

 

I don't mean to like this as I feel your pain. Glad you're ok, the weather last night was a perfect storm for them along with hunting season, harvest, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a full moon either. Looks like your worse off then me so I wish you luck in the repair process!

 

I grew up in upstate NY and throughout my teens and early 20s drove all the back roads of CNY hills, forests, snow, never once hit a deer. Move to corn country where you can see for miles because of how flat it is around here and come up over the smallest of hills and BAM....so aggravating but State Farm is the best. Zero deductible, full coverage and a rental for 20-30 days or up to $600. Gonna go through the last shop that did body work on the tacoma and hope it comes out just as good. The part deal is gonna drive me nuts though coming from a repair shop and knowing the process of getting things these days.

 

The airbags didn’t deploy, but she’s rough. Can’t open the passenger door.

 

The good thing about the airbags not deploying is you shouldn’t have an issue getting repairs done. I’ve heard from others on here that it can be difficult to find a shop to do repairs if it involves airbags due to liability issues. Hope you’re back in business soon.

 

My pleasure. It was a good time.

 

Not sure if it will help but I used anti seize compound on the O Ring. Guess I will find out next oil change

They do suggest use on o-rings.

 

It also helps in the Midwest to put a little on the back of your rims, so your wheels don’t seize to your truck and you won’t need a sledgehammer or baseball bat to get it off in the middle of a blizzard. Don’t put it on the lugs though.
I’ve always put a drop of oil and ran it along the gasket and just a quarter turn after lightly hand tightening. If you changed it cold and the next time changed it hot, everything will be swollen and more difficult.

 

Removed the last chrome from the Taco. Installed these OEM lights with the black out instead of the chrome.

 

Had to rep Harley ….. and added the Toyota letter overlays from tacos4cheap. I’m quite impressed by the quality of the overlays. Highly recommend

 

Small things that matter. Finally got to install my driver side grab handle. My wife can easily access this lifted truck now.

 

I bought directly from TacoMods. I explained why they didn’t work for me and he gave me a refund no problem. I’d call that a reputable vendor.

 

I can't remember if I got them off Etsy or Amazon (one of the two) but I used some painters tape to mark the end edges of the original decals before removing them. I laid the tape about a 1/4 inch from the edges in case there was adhesive reaidue I had to remove. On one side I used heat, on the other I just peeled it off. Honestly, the side I used heat on left more residue. Then I used the wet method to apply the new decals (it's a water, baby shampoo, alcohol mix). Highly recommend applying them wet.

Also, depending on how long your original decals have been on the truck, and your paint color, there may be "ghosting" left from the sun that will help align the new ones.

 

There’s good and bad when it comes to Ohio Whitetails. You harvest one during hunting season and you have venison for a while. But if you hit one with your vehicle, you’re SOL. Sorry dude, been there done that.

 

is there no trimming on a 23 pro with 285/75/16

 

Sometimes you have to live on the edge.
A trip to Walmart


You know you love your Taco when you take the time to turn around and take a picture as your walking to the store of excitement and adventures

 

@TheFactor impressive wheels, Decent look!
