What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Spark plugs and plug wires tight? Anything binding in the driveline? U joint's good?

 

Nope. Got to the bottom of it when I got home, lifted the truck up and took a peak underneath. I’ve changed the oil myself about 6 times now and today I must’ve been spaced out because my dumbass drained the transmission fluid not the oil. So guess who will be towing their truck to the dealership tomorrow REALLY REALLY upset right now. At 65k I guess it was about time anyway? Not the way I planned it.

 

Finally got my V5 installed. It waited few days for the V5/puddle pods pigtails (thanks Austin S. for the pigtails)…broke couple of puddle pods cover tabs during removal. One of the V5 power connector wires had to be de-pinned and re-soldered. Glad it’s all done. I hope to not mess with the puddle pods cover ever again. I should have done the puddles and V5 the same time…lesson learned. Hope I can get some puddle pods cover replacement from @MESO.

 

Those tail lights look great! Can we get a close up?

 

Sorry to hear this…

 

Those links are great and full of info. Thanks! As I said before I’m doing this for my Harley as my Tacoma has the home link mirror.

I am finding the Genie isn’t as easy as there are no solder points like on other remote boards. I took my chamberlain security gate remote apart and it was obvious where to solder. The genie not at all obvious. Here is discussion about problems with the genie.

 

Yeah I always seem to learn lessons the hard way lol we will see what happens

 

Wrapped the roof rack wind deflector

 

I couldn't figure out a way to get the v5 puddle pod connectors into where the v5s were. I have the 360 camera so its quite tight. The connect is too big to run into the turn signal area. So i just left it how i had it installed previously, tapped into the window switch harness for dim/drl.

 

i got the positive 10 offset and it doesn’t make any difference if it does, it is super small. Here’s the after.

 

Thank you, appreciate it.

 

Did you end up just using the factory bolts? Or the ones that came in the kit? Or a mix of both? Thank you for taking the time to explain.

 

Sorry to hear this. I hope everything works out for you at the dealership.

 

Looking good pre!

 

Do you now have an additional 6 qts of oil in the crankcase now?

 

Damn. I just paid $1.19 each at my local dealer Saturday for those. Most expensive seal was front diff drain copper seal at $2.13.

 

Damn, sorry to hear this. How far did you drive it before realizing what happened? Please keep us up to date.

 

im flying to Edinburgh today. No tacoma but will be around the country for a couple days. Ireland later on this week then Geneva

 

I can this evening

 

Added some fog lights
