What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

There’s specific changes to the tune with an S&B intake?

 

I can’t take my sidearm into work with me so I wanted a secure place to keep it in my truck.

 

Took my time, probably about 3 hours of just wet sanding. Sanded up to the bend. Masked off at the outer spring mount line after sealing. 320,400,600,800,1000,1500,2000,3000 grit 2 passes in that order. Probably overkill.. Then a polishing compound, a polish, then a sealant. Probably would’ve took 20 minutes if you do it with a machine. Lots of time and nothing to do; very happy with the outcome. Don’t have enough ambition to do the muffler, but believe it can can done!

 

On some trucks with that specific CAI, yes. It moves the MAF sensor to the top and towards the manifold.

 

If you know…

 

For anyone on the fence... get the tune and enjoy yourself. Even my gf could notice the difference from the passenger seat and she's not much for automotive stuff. Great time in Louisiana and had fun.

 

This is 100% something I realized after the fact. Only need to learn this lesson once!!

 

Hmmm... I guess nobody told you about these cool add-on's for your off-roading through the dead brush fun. They come in both left and right side versions.

 

This an OE part? Nice.

 

Installed ss3 max fogs

 

Sheeesh. one of the only few members with these. I think my pros are bright but damn

 

All chrome finally gone. Painted the mirror dial as well.

 

Any idea what this stuff is? I have the same thing going on and idk how to get it off. I detail cars which is kinda ironic. looks like it has dandruff

 

I wish my brother still had his with the pros , I’d be nice to do a side by side

 

I'm pretty sure it's from my wife's rings chewing up the plastic. That's where the door hold is. She's messed up the outer handle hold as well

 

AC water leak inside cab resolved...mostly

So the Dealership had my truck for 10 days this last time but I did have a Tacoma 2021 loaner truck so I endured. The head mechanic and I seemed to agree the area that was leaking needed more insulation to prevent the massive condensation that was happening. He placed some insulating felt on the case where the condensation was forming. When I got home after a 20-minute drive there was a spot of dripped water on the carpet, but like only one or two drops, not 100! Since the pickup, I have done many 45 minute and hour-long trips in it around the DFW area. Yes, it isn't as hot as it is in the summer time but it is still humid. I had always kept a microfiber towel under the spot where it dripped and before the towel would be soaked about half of it. Now it hardly feels damp at all. So to catch the remaining few drops that do come down to the carpet I have installed a black sponge to soak up the drops. The black color blends in with the black carpet better than any other color sponge I can think of. It is hardly noticeable at all. What few drops hit it should evaporate and it is an easy removal if need be as it is just wedged in there real good between the carpet and the dash plastic. This all took about 3 months to get this much resolution but I can live with the issue now. My floorboard will still be there 10 years from now!

 

You let your wife drive your truck?!?

 

It ain't 1952

 

I guess your wife may be a better driver than mine. And mine can’t drive a manual so it’s a non starter.

 

Got it from The Taco Garage. Their on sale now
