What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I've driven in gail force rain and wind and the safety sensor on my tacoma when i switched to the pro grill would say sensor block warning would come up, so I'm trying to figure out how to protect the sensor better.

 

I could use some RCI sliders ... DCSB, no top plate. I will PM you the address.

 

Yessir

Mine worked great until i realized i forgot to glue the transponder to the new meso fob, so i took it apart and now its experiancing some issues with the key-flip mechanism. I believe the issue is directly related to the fact that the fob mold itself isn't flush when aligning the pieces together, its like the housing was warped somehow where the middle portions touch but the top and bottom have a gap, which takes tension off of the spring mechanism. Now my key over torques when pressing the release button, and i have to push it back into the upright position to get the release key to unstick.

Meso is amazing though and they are sending me a full replacement soon. But even as is, it's way better than having a thick key stabbing my leg in my slim-fit jeans lol

 

I just installed my RCI rack last week. Had to cut it in half to fit in front of my tent though, so that hurt a little haha.

 

Got a new to me Softopper

 

Welcome to the forum, Great looking truck. Glad you had the proper supervision to complete the job.

 

Well Rough Country has some quick shipping! My bumper came this morning. I figured it would be next week before I got it. Ordered it Saturday and received it 3 working days later. I wish I had time to install it this weekend but it will have to wait got tickets to Rock the Country concert this weekend.

 

That is a beautiful setup!. Exactly the way I would like my QS.

 

Very cool, do you have a link to this one by chance? TIA!

Never mind, I found it.

 

Thanks man. I appreciate that. Lots of time and money into it but it was worth it. Now I’m thinking of going long travel. Need to convince the wife that it’s “needed.”

 

Yeah, sounds like she needs "a talking to". Lol

 

Love new Tire Day!!! Got a screaming deal on Wildpeak MT's. 255/85R16 on stock wheels. Old Man Emu heavy front springs with 2 inch blocks in the rear. Old man emu shocks all around. Sits perfectly!

 

I think anything you can do to prevent wind-driven water infiltration to either the wire harness or in-between the sensor and garnish will help to reduce sensor warnings.

Last time I took my Taco in for a sensor TSB, I think part of their fix was to weatherize the tss sensor with a large piece of rubberized foam - basically to prevent water infiltration.

Sometimes driving through icy-rain conditions this pass winter, my sensor warning went off due to ice accumulation on the garnish surface - not much you can do about that besides wiping it off at the next chance you get…

 

A little off topic, but what tires are you running?

 

Is your topper water resistant?

More along the lines of how well it keeps water out during a rainstorm.

 

It fits!

 

Those are yokahama geolandar mud terrains. G003 I believe, in 315/75/16

 

What am I looking at?!

Is that a dinosaur bone?! farm implement?

 

It's a pond! Going to build a water feature in my backyard. Glad I have the 6' box.
