What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How do you like the stock mattress?

 

Started a 2000 mile trip

 

Very nice setup but looks like you need a more robust suspension setup.
Are you sitting on the rear bumpstops?

Also the wires running up to your roof rack most people tuck them into the windshield trim, depending on how thick they are.

 

Hi all. Where could I buy one of the removable rear headrest for our tacos? My nephews decided to play with them, and I lost the rear passenger and middle headrests (no recovery possible). Kids!! Sometimes you love them too much to murder them. Any suggestions where I could buy/get atleast the rear passenger side one a cheaper way?

I checked Toyota prices and they are wayy too expensive to buy from dealership. $579.82 for one. For both $1132.95

 

lots of wires in it, and almost on bumps. I plan to change suspension when I get back since not everything was going to be in in time.

 

I have a middle one laying around in my garage, DM me and I'm sure we can figure out something for that one at least. Never used it and never will. Those prices are crazy.

 

Any idea on what you plan on doing? or are you waiting to dive down that rabbit hole?

For my roof lights, a front light bar and side flood lights, I split my wires. Running 1 set on each side of the windshield.
I've seen people with wires that are too thick that silicone them to the gap in the windshield trim.
Or you could use these, I used them on my roof rack itself to keep the wires tucked away.

I only mention it because you will eventually get paint damage from the loom rubbing.

 

I ordered a matching spare for underneath the truck, should have just bought all five the first time

 

Yikes. I plan on just getting a steelie with matching tire size next time I order new ones.

 

i usually just have the tire shop mount the best looking tire they're replacing as the spare and hope for the best.
i've only bought 5 tires once that way.

 

I tried it out for one night and then swapped to my Exped, ha. It was not good. I still can't believe the cost of these tents and the mattress's are always the worst part.

 

That's ridiculous pricing. Any pick and pulls near you?

 

i have the cable sleeve on order that most use, just didnt come in before my trip date. Fedex ruining it as always.

 

New alternator, Belt tensioner, and an idler pulley on the Turd gen. Was pretty straight forward. Gunna miss my reliable 2gen.

 

Finally got around and installed my other pair of ss3. Didn’t wire them up though. Can’t ever have enough lights. Am I wright or am I wright.

 

Maybe check eBay or one of those copart places.

I'm debating the alto or waiting for cvt to come out with their new product

 

I am guessing that is a junk yard? I live in SD too, but I have not been to them. Do you suggest and I go search for one at one of those?

 

I bought a complete set on ebay(used) for $250 i believe. All 3 were in great shape and seller had multiple colors to choose from.

 

Are you looking for a steel rear bumper for your 3rd Gen Tacoma that's compatible with blind spot monitors and factory backup sensors? Fishbone Offroad developed a one of a kind steel bumper that combines the best of both worlds.
I been waiting for a bumper like this that wouldn't cost and arm and a leg. Check out my install and review video below!
