What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Went from the stock headlights on my 2023 trd sport to the oem tacoma led headlights with Dave Easa wiring harness, super simple and looks great compared to my stock headlights imo, super happy.

 

New wheels and tires today. BFG Ko2 LT265/70R17's on 17" trd pro wheels and black lugs.

 

Greased my U-Joints...only 2 zerks on the front end of my 18.

 

Now that’s funny, lol.

But I would never let one of those quickly lube places touch my truck in a million years.

 

Oh my fantastic work! Did you reinstall the OEM plastic liner on top of the sound deadener? I'm just wondering if it's necessary.

 

I agree. i had a valvoline do an oil change cause i was taking a road trip and was not in the mood to do it. REGRET REGRET ! they cracked the oil filter housing drain plug. so ill never let them or any other place do that again. also... WHERE can you get an oil change for 25.95??

 

soundskin is sooooo overpriced and over rated. with that being said do you notice any difference in ambient noise coming in? did you do the cab (floor and roof)?

 

What speakers?

 

Looks great. Best headlights made for the tacoma.

 

Hope you don’t run out of checks!

 

I need to do this. Looks great

 

No, didn't think it was needed.

 

Solid sounding doors when closed, somewhat quieter, not done any other part of the cab yet.

 

Trail Grid Pro Kicker speaker kit.

 

I used Amazon Basics on all doors and the back of the cab and am happy with the results. I didn't do complete coverage on the inside door panel, just patches in spots. The butyl rubber doesn't really block much sound, its main purpose is to eliminate vibrations. I just kept thumping spots on the inside panel and placing patches in various locations until the thumping resulted in a dull thud and I didn't hear any vibrations. I did do full coverage on all outside panels, though. Other panels I just thumped and placed patches.

It's certainly quieter, and doors have a nice solid sound when closing them. I should have done some measurements before and after, but oh well. I have not done under the headliner, probably never will, but have plenty left over. I highly recommend Amazon Basics, others just cost way too much for what they are. I just found this web site that has some numbers, not sure how reputable they are -- they are trying to sell their product, but do have some good comparisons. https://resonixsoundsolutions.com/r...-deadening-material-independent-testing-data/

 

TRD Pro Intake.

 

New shoes. Time to get them camping! 33in (255/85r16) BFG KM3

 

Parked next to another Off Road while filling up with gas.

 

How much weight you have in the back? I usually have around 500 and pulling out 2" blocks if i install new leaf springs. Trying to decide between the ironman medium vs heavy duty.

 

I have a LRA 33 gallon tank which with the tank and additional gas can add up to 124 pounds over the stock tank, Super Pacific X1 is 355 pounds, sliders add some weight on rear and I have about 80 pounds of other gear so up to 559 pounds. I should probably get the medium springs out of the bed of my truck as they are probably helping the heavy duty's ride better.
