What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks big dawg.

What settings are you running and do you still have your sway bar?

 

Did some projects under the hood…and in the front quarter panel.

Noco battery charger and under-hood lighting switch (3D-printed mount and switch sold by @switch):


Noco charger port on the driver’s side front quarter panel. Nothing says “I’m owning this truck for the long-haul” like a 2” hole saw!


Under hood LED lighting strip:


…which, sadly, doesn’t like to stick very well:


I’ll probably re-apply it with 3M two-sided automotive trim adhesive strips, unless anyone here has a better recommendation.

Goin’ all in!

 

It's a hybrid now.

 

Kermit turned to the dark side. Just threw the Wranglers back on the new wheels as they only have 7000 miles on them. Gotta love the Toyota 4th of July sale. $1000.00 all in.

 

I got the “Black-1” faux carbon fiber. Not a bad cover. Initially, I got the gray but it’s too light gray. If anyone wants it, it’s FREE!

 

Cleaned the MAF sensor and Throttle body. Not too dirty for 58K miles. I’ve done the throttle body at 30K before.
Spark plugs coming up soon…along with the rest of 60K maint.

 

You're in the AV? Im in Lancaster. Ever looking for a hand to wrench or wheel hit me up

 

Did some more first time (for me) maintanance since purchasing her last August with 41k, just hit 51k. Due for oil change so did that and others, with the usual favorable tools/add-ons/swaps.

-Engine oil change with motivx kit. Added

$42 F103SX : New Generation Fumoto® Valve with 12mm-1.25 Thread Size

F103SX Fumoto valve with brass drain hose adapter kit (made sure to check torque value on this, only 15 ft lb). Oem metal oil filter housing swap.

-Front/Rear diff fluid change. Swapped front diff drain/fill plugs with hex head plugs.

-T-case fluid change

-greased front driveshaft. Only 2 zerks. None on rear!



Got my anytime locker in mail. Gotta install that still.

Also discovered i have (what looks like) a cv boot leaking. Ugh.

 

I have not done nearly as much as this guy driving his Tacoma around the damn planet. lol

 

No photo , but washing it every day this week because of a wildfire in Washington.
Black trucks......

 

Had the door panels and dash piece reupholstered because I just never liked the texture vinyl Toyota originally used. Also had the center console, shift boot, and e-brake done "while I was in there." I think it turned out pretty nice.

 

Trying to sell my setup that’s all i’ve done haha. Otherwise camp and use it.

 

Did you do the work yourself? That looks like the interior of a Lexus now.

 

Check out Landcaster Toyota in California website as it is showing the spark plugs MSRP $19.94, and is selling them for $16.95... Free shipping over $75.00

That's really nice. Dayum.

 

No, this was all done by a shop. Upholstery is definitely a skill I don't have.

 

If you’re in SoCal, I shop at longo Toyotas pars website. Parts.longotoyota.com believe spark plugs were 92 for the set last I checked.

 

Longo and Olathe are bae, depending on where you are located.
