What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Trucks need gifts too

 

Yes. Several years ago I bought my wife a diesel station wagon. I thought it was the best driving car we ever had; she hated it and accidentally ran over large debris on the highway with it. After a rather large hit with half a tire I removed the front bumper and took it to the Mercedes body shop to paint. In my head this would also give them incentive to do it properly and bake the part in the booth versus a quick spray by a new tech in the lot. Also, no charge for removal/installation and no issues with marring up surrounding parts by someone that did not care.

For unrelated reasons, about a year and a half later I traded it in on a new 4Runner. I stand by the diesel torque making it one of the best driving cars that we owned...

 

Angle of picture. Its not short, but it is a few inches shorter than a trd pro skid i think. Im not sure. The greenlane skid has bends in it unlike the trd pro slid so it looks alot smaller but it actually isnt much. The greenlane is wider so thats part of why it appears smaller.
I love mine- its pretty light and offers just the amount of protection i need. I basically just need it to deflect racoons and Berkeley hippies from damaging my truck components when i drive over them, and it does a great job.

Finally got my on/off/on switches for my auxiliary high beams/off road lights and reverse lights/rear flood lights installed in a new switch panel.

 

I think that they were referring to how much it covers underneath the truck. The pro skid plate looks like it is longer on the bottom of the truck and protects the engine more.
Don't get me wrong I do like the greenlane one a lot. The logo is a lot better than the other brands that just stamp their names into the front of it.

 

I’m curious, why did you switch? I’m not sure which camping option I should go with yet.

 

Yeah it doesnt cover as far back as the trd pro which is a full skid. This one covers 3/4 of what the trd pro does, just less in the back. i am probably going to order their full skid

 

I agree that the diesel was a great performer! Ours was the Jetta SportVagen and my wife loved it.
When VW bought it back in 2016, I replaced it with my '17 Tacoma. Was able to buy the Taco outright. Paid-in-full. Thank you VW.

 

I will have an entire front bumper assembly (crash bar, bumper surround, black cover lower grille insert, fog lights ect..) shortly if you are looking to stay stock. It is cement but you could paint it black or have a shop paint it to match your truck.

 

You get a recall notice on the fuel pump for your 2017? I have never received a notice. Does it matter where it was built?

 

I appreciate the offer and I’ll let you know if I change my mind. I have decided to get a stealth bumper so hopefully I don’t see this kind of damage next time. I wasn’t planning on it but heck most of the disassembly and removal was done for me. LOL

 

Does anyone know the Toyota Part # for the piece that the grille piece fits into on the newer 2021-2022 Tacoma TRD Off road the Painted piece that matches your vehicles color.?

 

You're referring to this piece, correct?



If so, I'm pretty sure it's this:

Where did you get the switches?

I just wish Green Lanes logo cutout wasn't so big or I'd buy one. Not really a fan of what is essentially a giant hole in front of the skid plate.

 

I’d cut your marked line. Lol

 

Just put these on today . Stealth custom series ray 10 . 16x8 -12 offset . With BFG a/t 265/75 r 16. Stock suspension. I think it’s drives better

 

Can you show the poke from the front/back? This is exactly what I’m saving for.. TIA
