What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed the Amazon pro knob and some TRD OR taillights.

 

mmmm idk about that. My scan gauge 3 picks up five TPMS

 

First post I've ever seen that someone saw 5. Is your spare a take-off from another truck? Also from what I've gathered the TPMS computer in the Tacoma's only supports 4 sensors. I wanted to add one when I put a bigger spare but it was not an option. My truck only had 4 with the spare steelie - I was standing right next to the tire guy when he checked.

 

My spare wheel is the factory but I just had a new larger tire put on it. I believe I had a fifth sensor added from my last set of tires. I’ll check the scan gauge again, I was surprised to see it picked up a fifth when it scanned the truck. I know the Tacoma ECU itself only supports four.

 

Must be a feature of the Scangauge itself. That's pretty cool if it does see additional ones.

 

Sooooo what don’t you know about then? Oem spares don’t have sensors because the ecu only holds 4 ids

 

Damn you would think oem trd pro tail light will cost more than that. I wanted to know the price I might sell my oem trd pro tail light that came off my pro with meso total stage 1.

 

I was surprised too, not that expensive.

 

Gave the Taco a bubble bath today...scrub-a-dub-dub!

 

One could call it a 'bubble bath'

 

this warms my soul

 

Let's go!!!

 

Welded up some fresh spindle gussets last night and slapped them on this morning.

 

So satisfying! Where I'm at, just trying to wait until it stops raining.

 

Added the OEM bed mat.

Just curious, anyone with the OEM bed mat notice any small, embedded light-brown fibers in their mat? I circled them (in red) in the pic. Doesn't affect the functionality at all, so I won't return it for this, but just wondering if anyone seen the same in their mat. Other than this, the mat is hefty and seems to work well.

 

Did the Wife's Mazda as well...

 

I really like that kit. The amber turn signals are awesome and somewhat retro.

 

Save yourself some future aggravation and pick up a wide mouth foam cannon...I switched mine out...much easier to fill.

 

I'm curious if you found a solution. I found that there used to be many plastic overlays available but it seems Toyota is cracking down on people copying/earning money from their logo (well within Toyota's rights to do this) so they are getting hard to find. Found one on ebay and impulsively ordered it for too much money.

Then I wondered if it's a good idea to put a thin hard plastic overlay on. If the airbag deploys would that throw bits of broken plastic at my face and chest? I'm never had an airbag deploy on me but stuff happens. One post said the original emblem is fairly flexible.

I'm not obsessive about killing my interior chrome, but that steering wheel emblem really stands out now that I've covered the vent rings.
