What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Welcome to TW.

 

Do you remember what tools are required? Again, thanks.

 

Its definitely an antenna issue.

 

Bed the motor and it will last you an eternity, it tells you what to do in the owners manual.

 

New boots in the Tacoma does that count ? lol

 

Welcome to TW, hope you enjoy the new truck. Now, get ready to lighten your wallet and bank account!!

 

I don't remember exactly. I think I used only a ratcheting boxend 10mm and a pair of long needle nose pliers (to pinch the plastic wire-gromet).
Went with the boxend because I didn't want to risk a socket popping off the ratchet and disappearing. But a socket would work just as well.

 

I have that bumper on my truck. Installation is pretty straightforward and I did it by myself. You will need to figure out license plate lights as it does not come cut out for them. Here's what I used.

Dropped off new wheels and tires to be mounted up

 

Yea after I did more reading I realized this.
Now I am considering this one.

Or this one

I want to use the factory harness and license plate lights.

@SomeTacoDude thanks for the heads up!

 

Damn. And an F150 to boot? Ugh. That might sting a little more even.

 

I looked at the replacement bumpers like that but if you're not gaining any real advantage (higher clearance) it didn't seem like it was worth the extra money.

 

"You can't see a Caesar and not want a Caesar"

 

That is a great looking bumper and priced really good

 

Upgraded my FOB to the Meso minimalist FOB V2, nice so far and no more rattle from my key.

 

Wish I could find seat DEjackers. At 6'6" and driving a manual, I get a little hunched. Although it's nice never needing sunglasses as the top of the window does me just fine.

 

What topper is that?

 

My '23 requires a key as it's manual.

 

I hear you! I’m only 5’11 but have a sunroof that eats up a ton of headspace. I’ve jacked the front and added a steering wheel extension which makes my seating position much more comfortable, but still leaves a bit to be desired.
Near as I can tell the only way to lower the seating position is having an upholsterer remove foam from the oem seat bottom or a complete after market replacement (which means losing the seat airbag and a much lighter wallet).
