What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Has any one installed this rear bumper?
Curious to the difficulty of installation for one person and if you like it or not.
Seems to be a really good Black Friday deal in it right now.

 

I just bought 20 Original Toyota oil filters for 3.10 a piece…. Good for a while! and I got full synthetic oil Amazon basics 0w20 for 17 per 5qts on Friday (bought 5 jugs) making my oil changes cost 20 bux.

last year with the same deal I got my OEM bed mat for 60 bux delivered if I remember correctly…. But there’s no guarantee I remember anything correctly these days….

 

I just saw this this morning too! I'm tempted to get an OE exhaust system. I want to get rid of the Borla S and I sold my stock.
No Tax and maybe free ship to me...

 

How stupid is this idea? Be honest.

I'm thinking about installing a hinged license plate holder to front/top of my faux TRD skid plate. When driving at highway speeds it should flip back but fall down when going slow or stopped (like when pulled over by the police). I'm going to scope it out when I get out of work but on the surface (without looking at it) it seems like a decent idea for those of us in states that require a front plate but don't want to drill into the bumper.

It’s one of the few times OEM stuff is on sale….so now maybe the time….

 

Victory 4x4. The recovery points are for real. For real, for real

 

Do you have that p/n?

 

There is less wind noise after installing them + adding weather stripping between the doors, at least on my truck.

 

Small QoL change, but I got tired of being blinded by the reflection on sunny days. Ordered it from Tacoma Lifestyle.

 

Part Number:

$55 90915-YZZD1 Oil Filter 1 Case (QTY 10)

90915-YZZD1 But that’s for a 2.7l not a 6cylinder……and different dealers may cost different amounts. Maybe even less.

 

3.5L p/n:

$28 04152-YZZA1 1/2 case (QTY5) Oil Filters

04152-YZZA1

Placed my order as well. Thanks!

 

oops sorry .....the "positive" post.......hope the op isn't offended

 

Saw others remarking about the plate. My turn:

"Laughing at the Devil"

To say the number five in Lao or Thai, it is pronounced as "Ha".
Thus, your plate is saying "HaHaHa" to 666 = laughing at the devil! Gotta be brave to do that.

(I think that is a cool plate to run with.)

 

I did the one on my bride's truck. Accomplished it through the rear window, standing in the bed. Piece of cake!
Dropped the rear portion of the headliner (two clips, just pulled down firmly) from the inside of cab. After that it was all outside.
Reached thru window between headliner and roof. Don't drop your tools or you may have to drop full headliner!
Scrapped knuckles, but that's SOP. Took 15 minutes max.

 

Co-worker had that one on a 17, install wasn't bad but he had a time getting it to sit right with even spacing under the tail lights. Looks great in person though.

 

Thanks, I haven't seen many side angle shots of it. Was curious if it ran even with the fender too.

 

JUST what I wanted to hear! Thanks.

You know the strange thing about this is I just drove around and my radio Sirius XM works just fine. And my phone connected to the system. So I really don't understand what this antenna is all about and why it's needed.

 

I had the same thoughts. Everything worked as if the antenna was enact and whole. Sirius XM was the biggest surprise to function normally.
But I never attempted FM reception way out in the boonies either.

 

Does it have to be front mounted, or forward facing? I remember back in the days in California we would use a couple of hair ties and put it on our passenger front facing sun visor. Cops never argued against it..

 

I did the wheel overlays too; an hour per wheel. And the interior door handles. Then I did my taillights with light smoke film at another hour each, and then my mirror turn signals. Then my headlights with clear film. Yesterday I put PPF in the exterior door cups (promo product so I had to test it). I keep saying I need to either stop buying vinyl or open a shop. Even now that I have some practice, with how long it takes me I'd go out of business in no time.
