What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Excellent for sure!! 10+ on the photography; professional grade.

How do those stickers work, is it one big connected sticker, or individual per spoke?

 

look good, mind posting where you got these?

 

Thank you! There are actually six decals per wheel. The attached image shows what one of the decals looks like. The whole kit comes with 24. They're very easy to install using the wet application technique. It involves spraying the wheel and decal with a little bit of water mixed with a drop of dish soap. This delays the adhesive setting and is more forgiving during the install, allowing you to get perfect alignment. Once the moisture evaporates the adhesive will bond securely.

I create these decals myself so I made a couple listings on Etsy. One for the wheels themself. And one where the wheels come in a kit along with tailgate inserts and visor warning label covers. Promo code TACOMAWORLD for 10% off.

I lurk a lot, post a little bit. It's time to post. Just got new wheels and a level. Happy Friday.

 

Don't mind at all...

I was going to order these form another user on here that makes them but was advised that they don't make them for the later model wheels due to the geometry of them for some reason. Just ordered a set of these- excited to pop them on when they arrive.

 

Installed a Tackform TRAXX Slim Track and added a USB port on the drivers side center console panel.

 

Made an appointment to have a
Pioneer DMH-W3050NEX and a
Hertz Mille PRO MPBX 250 S2 installed to go with the RF amp and all hertz cento speakers i already had put in.

 

Anyone know those two bolt sizes?

 

I did those vinyl overlays also. I was really impressed how well they held up. I had them on for almost a year, through a New England winter, and not a single blemish. They take a little time and patience to put on, but were well worth it.

 

Last piece , In-House Fabrication snorkel .

It’s not an adventure unless your mall crawling at Mavericks .

 

I really like the USB port. Nice.

 

What kind of lifespan short of an impact do these have?

 

Yo @EGBTER thanks for the files! Lots of embedded settings in the 3MF that don't translate over to other printers, but cleaned it up and trying it now.

 

You have any lift on that?

 

Awesome! I just dropped your set in the mail so they should arrive early next week. Thank you for trusting me with your order. Please let me know how they turn out.

I also want to add that I can sell replacements for one wheel at a time if anything should happen to one anybody's wheels that has made this upgrade at a later date. That way you don't have to buy a full set if you're just replacing one wheel. You'll just need to reach out to me here since I don't have a listing for that.

The set I make is good for any 2020-2023 OEM TRDOR 16" wheels, but I would like to make more for other years and trims. If there are any Tacoma drivers in the SF Bay Area that want to let me take photos and measurements of their vehicles, I can make some custom stuff for you in exchange. I'd really like to check out a 4th Gen up close. My neighbor has one, but I never see him outside. I'm afraid the one time I bump into him, I'll be crouched down at his tire looking like I'm up to no good.

 

Oil Change
Rear Differential Fluid Change
Spark Plug Change

Attempted the Front Differential change but could NOT get the bolt out… that’ll be a dealership visit.. I’ll have them do the transfer case as well, so all will be fresh.

Passenger side plugs were a breeze! Driver’s side, not so much. Next time I’ll start with the harder driver’s side, lol

Here’s some pics of the plugs at 59K. How do they look?

 

Me on the right.

 

Typically this grade of vinyl is rated for 5-6 years outdoors. I don't have enough data to really know if they'll last that long applied to a wheel traveling at high speeds, but there are reports from other users saying they've gone through tough winters with them and they're still like new. And I mentioned this a bit earlier, but I would sell a kit to replace one wheel if anything ever happened that required one to be replaced.

The main reason I hesitated to install these in the first place was my concern for their longevity. I actually created the cut profile and the decals in 2022 when I bought my truck. I just never went through with the install. But now that I did, I wish I would have done it a long time ago. They are very solid. I didn't want to upgrade perfectly fine wheels and tires on a brand new truck, so this is the perfect balance for me. I can't say this enough. Just this small upgrade, the plasti-dipped badges, and the TACOMA letter inserts for the tailgate made me fall in love with this truck all over again. It's how this truck should have shipped from Toyota.

 

No, all original although when I install a winch I will probably have to upgrade front suspension
