What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sir, it appears two vehicles are having a pissing match, and one of them is... a Tacoma.

 

Yes, I got a belt sander. So that only leaves the pad material as the remaining significant difference. Who knows if the AZ020 pads would make noise after the chamfering...

 

Welcome aboard! Lots of good information here. Lots of other stuff, too.

Next up - you gotta post some pictures of your truck.

 

Good luck on your list of mods-to-do, looks like you are on the right track.

 

Yes, we will be glad to help you spend your money!!!!






When I bought my Taco back in late August, I was ONLY going to add drop steps, mainly for the wifey and grand kids....
Yeah that didn't last long...

 

I wasn’t gonna add a lift and was gonna keep all the lights halogen….

so you are lighting up all your neighbors windows at night because another dude made you mad? are you the reason they moved?

 

i knew a guy that would drive around to get his odometer to "the mile" to get his oil changed

 

there must be something about that plastic that gets tighter or o-rings stick after it gets hot because of all the stories

 

I'm surprised how much light those throw for their size.

 

Are the O-rings being lubed with fresh oil before being installed??

Website is currently down as I am very limited in stock for the 2018+ model and doing some modifications to the grille so one grille will work for both all years of the 3rd gen tacoma.

Looking to doing some modifications to the grilles and will have the website back up in the near future.

If anyone does want a grille please feel free to shoot me a PM.

 

Grille looks amazing thanks for sharing.

 

The Housing Unit expands...not as much on the aluminum as the composite plastic...at least, that's what has been mentioned.

As for lubing the o-rings, I can confirm this is done during my oil changes.

 

That is correct. The skid is a TRD style knockoff from Amazon. Fits great. Sent my oil sample off yesterday

Front Skid Plate for 2016-2023...

 

Yes .. he had a garnish and had it available with TSS, however that's kind of the time that it fizzled out.

This is still my favorite grille although I never pulled the trigger on it and just stuck with my poverty SR grille

 

appreciate it!

 

I’ve got that exact same one sitting in my basement right now. Planning on installing after I get the suspension taken care of.
