What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

love it

 

Florida is known for oranges but also grow lemons. Here we are considered the peach state.

 

Just ordered one of these. How are you liking it? Looks like the combo?

 

Swapped my kicker key 500 out for an Alpine S A60M. Waiting for it to smoke my sub now as the dyno sheet said 851watts lol. not bad for a 600w amp!

Gave her a pretty decent bath too gotta take a road trip to Connecticut for a couple weeks……

 

Sad to see them go. Hopefully someday they will come back

 

Where did you locate the sub?

 

just have to say "thank you" to you too! this was the first mod i did to my truck when i bought it over 3 years ago...

 

Ditto.

 

Rice

Lol I was driving with my ditch lights and lightbar on then they started flickering and now they won’t turn on. The ditch lights are wired separately from the lightbar. The backlighting for both switches were flickering too. Gotta figure this out in the morning lol.

I have both the relays mounted on a relay holder under the hood. That’s the only thing I can think of that might be causing this issue

everything else works fine

 

Here's the link the the flush mount bracket. A guy here on TW makes them. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-replace-big-ugly-stock-bracket-20-23.555133/

Regarding your grille, you probably are better off spraying it. I think you'd get a better tone of black. I found mine on ebay. It's cool, I like it, but the tone of the matte black is not as dark as I thought it'd be. I would like it to be a deeper black.

 

Installed the puddle switch kit and after I put the KTJO a pillar back on and started the truck, I got a PCS error with flashing light and a constant loud alert tone and an email for the error. Had a bit of a moment of pure dread. But then I dug in to find the error. Removed the a pillar cover and found that one of the harnesses was a bit loose. Odd, but fixed so did some zip ties to secure everything as quite a bit of additional wiring in there now. Didn’t get a chance to button everything down and take photos.

 

Changed out the coolant, Toyota made this easy.

Remove the passenger wheel, pop the top plastic clip out and gently fold the splash shield down.



And find this handy block drain.



A long extension and a 10MM socket.



And some 5/16" ID hose, it fits the radiator drain too. If you leave the radiator cap on when you drain the radiator (before draining the block) it will siphon the fluid out of the recovery bottle too.



Didn't spill a drop.

 

That looks pretty sweet. Where did you pick that up? Thanks!

 

Nice job and some great tips. You make it look easy.

 

Same at the 2nd gen Tacoma.

 

I installed mine last weekend and wired it up to a auxbeam 8 gang switch yesterday evening. Its definitely nice. I love it
