What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Haha same bro! 31 all around!

 

Used discount code mumfy, I have a different brand on 2nd gen and they work really good with the bright headlights and wide angle

 

You get the turn signal version?

 

@chuam

I've read that aluminum housing is not for the Tacoma but for other similar Toyota model engines.

The center piece does stand higher than the one on my Tacoma.

I was hesitant in installing it because I bought the wrong paper filter insert.

From what I'm told (From a Toyota Parts Dept Rep) that it wasn't designed for the Tacoma...even if you swap the center piece.

Photo to describe the center piece length.

 

I did, but probably not gonna wire that. Just want the heat and bsm.

 

I may have to drain my filter and pull it tonight to double check it.

 

I had my mechanic install the aluminum replacement last oil change. He never mentioned at issue with the insert

 

Pretty awesome picture!

 

I ordered them online from sparksparts.com. Depending on the model Tacoma you have, you may need a separate harness for each headlight. I ordered through one of the Tacoma World members:

I get that.

I will suggest you do. Easy two wire tap while you’re there. They are pretty bright. I love mine and had them for almost 4 years.

but your truck all the way. Just my 0.0001

 

Removed my winter wheels and installed my stock summers.

My winters are FN fx Pro wheels and what I'd like to do is sell or trade them for '22/23 TRD Pro wheels just to match my summers.

 

I originally got my first set from taco clout but i hated the piss color bsm light. So I took the oem ones out of the old mirrors but when I went to take the bsm out of the taco clout one it messed up the mirror behind the bsm spot. I kind of knew where he got it from and eventually I found it on aliexpress and ordered a new set for $60. Originally taco clout was the only place i saw it available.

 

Installed oem splash guards

 

Suma performance came out with them in 2019 which is what taco clout is actually selling. It’s suma performance mirrors

 

I had suma performance mirrors on my 2015 wrx.

 

Yeah they’ve been out for a while but when they made turn signal+ bsm+ versions for the 3rd gen models. That was 2019

 

Nice. I run a rack, tent, etc about 6 months of the year so I went with “option 2” and it’s been fantastic. Had some squeaking initially but lubed them up and haven’t had any issues since.

 

Yeah i saw suma had it too but didnt like the big arrow turn signals

 

@chuam

I don't mean to worry you...not sure how the length affects the inner workings of oil flow in the engine.

It seems the body and internal elements look the same as the Plastic OEM.

The internal clips/spring that keep the centerpiece in-place look identical.

Why the filter needs to stand taller than the center piece is unknown to me.

Maybe pointing a flashlight inside the crevice area can reveal what type of clearance there is for the higher center piece?

If you've been driving without any issues, maybe we are over-thinking this...but the fact that part number for the OEM aluminum is for other than Tacomas keeps the hesitation alive.

 

Ive been running mine for over 20k miles, no issues.
