What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Dropped it off for the White paint recall. Was told work would take 9 days, 21 TRD Sport.

Did not get a toyota loaner, they got me a rental through Hertz.

 

Nice wheels. What are they?

 

Thanks! Wheels are Volk Racing TE37X Progressives -20 (sadly, discontinued) with model 37 center caps.

 

Added Eibach 1" lift blocks to the rear. Please disregard my exhaust tips. Had them powder coated black chrome to match the spare tire "rack" and some other hardware I had done. It melted shortly after install. Then a black plastic bag got caught on the exhaust and did the same thing. So yeah, if I can find black chrome ceramic coating, I'll redo them someday. I also got all my stuff together to do the extended brake lines and speed bleeders, diff drop kit, and some lift blocks for the front. Replaced all the block and some of the DD hardware with titanium because race car.

 

Did my first oil change since installing the Fumoto. Soooooo much less mess, especially with the skid plate. The few drops there are only because of the skid access hole and having no great way to open it without your hands getting in the way, but it beats getting oil all over the inside of the wheels and under the skid itself that takes forever to clean out. Also threw in my spare K&N while the other is out for cleaning. I got one free when a coworker changed vehicles, so I swap them out every oil change. Cleaned my cabin filter the other day too.

 

Wait what is this? I have a 23 white

 

Some 10/60K maintenance done so far

Oil changed
Engine/cabin air filters changed
Front diff oil changed
Rear diff oil changed
Serp belt replaced (good bye chirp)
Wiper fluid reservoir refilled

Still need to do:

Power steering flush
Brake fluid flush
Spark plugs
Blinker fluid flush

 

Consolidated Super White 040 Paint Issue/Failure Thread - With Toyota Corp. Update | Tacoma World

 

Feeble attempt at installing the popular front camera mod. Sr trim level 2019.
I tried it without red wire power and with. Same results. On demand rear camera, but that’s it. No front camera operational. Now. I have a “brake override light “ see dealer message on the cluster. I am just so lucky.

 

Clean.

 

The peeling/flaking problem is official, but it is also not universal or guaranteed to occur. Some go years with no issues. Some claim it depends on which factory sprayed the body panels.

One local dealership told me they were not required to honor the recall either. I had to visit 3 before the 4th one helped me out. 1 refused 3 didnt have available slots for getting the work done.

 

Why was it a PITA?

 

Ordered my new 6112 and 5125, changed cabin filter, oil change.

 

How do you like those compared. That’s my big wonder if I messed up going bilstein over those.

 

nice!! i also have the same cat guards, dopeee

 

Not OP, but replaced my 3rd brake light with something similar. You have to drop the headliner tor reach 2 holes where you need an extended ratchet and a prayer to line up/thread the bolts that hold the third brake light to the frame.

 

does the new icecap white peel as well? or too soon to tell?

 

I was also going to go Dobinsons ims/mrr but after watching Shock Value by Overland Outfitters on YouTube I went Bilstein 6112/8100. For the price you can't go wrong with 6112. MRR is more comparing to 8112.
He is also a member on this forum, I can't recall his name but he is pretty active in the Long Travel thread.
