What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Son of a… Dealership sent me the wrong bed mat. Double checked my order and did order the right one -

$192 PT58035050SB Genuine Toyota Accessories PT580-35050-SB Bed Mat for Short Bed Tacoma Models Black, 59 1/2" L X 52 1/2" W X 3/8" H

Sorry for the non-MOD question. I'm getting an airbag system malfunction alert. Wants me to take the truck to this stealership. I have installed the aftermarket pro Grill With aftermarket garnish. Do you guys think they're going to give me shit or tell me some kind of junk story that that's causing the problem with the airbag system. Is TSS even part of the airbag system? Thanks for the advice Taco friends.

 

Welcome to the forum Nice looking ride

 

No idea what they might say, those guys spew lies from 9-5 so you’ll just have to wait and see

 

Comparably priced at my dealer parts department.

 

I think I'd try to find out more about the alert before taking it in. Maybe an OBDII code reader would give you a better idea of what the problem actually is so you can be ready with the Bullshit Card like a gunslinger in one of those old west movies.

 

I had my TSS malfunction because something got stuck to the front of my grill and it didn't say anything about the airbag system. So I wouldn't think it is dependant on that. I would take off the garnish if its easy enough. They might not notice the pro grill immediately.

Did you do any other mods? Like removing the dash or a seat that might have unplugged an airbag or sensor? Maybe it checks for connectivity.

 

These trucks (all modern vehicles) have very sensitive electrical systems, a small spark can equal big money unfortunately.

Remember: "negative first - negative last"

First step - open hood and disconnect the negative
do your work
Last step - reconnect negative and close hood

I realize it seems like a pain - read this forum for awhile and you will see people ending up with big problems from a small spark during a 10 minute job.

 

Tinted front windows today.

Got my 2nd Gen running boards installed today. Really happy with the look - and yes - they fit fine. As others have said, make sure you leave all the bolts loose until the end, then go and tighten everything up to spec as the last step.

 

One of my favorite mods.

 

these are nice. what brand and where did you get them?

 

Genuine OEM Toyota -

$528 PT212-35055 Running Board

PT212-35055. Got them from Treasure Coast Toyota down in Stuart, FL through their ebay store. Ordered Monday and delivered today (Sunday).

 

I like them. Somewhat of a "minimalists" running board that looks good... and on a budget.

 

Nice. Loved my CR250. Enjoy

 

Yeah for something as simple as they are they look pretty good. I'll spend the money on quality sliders once I need them.

 

Grill upgrade for the rig

 

Just got my Method 703s wrapped with 265/70R17 Cooper Rugged Treks on yesterday!

 

Nice. Loved my CR500.

That looks clean. I love it. It’s definitely on my wish list. Do you have any issues with the exhaust pipe being so close to your spare tire?
