What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got my truck back from the shop with some new goodies installed. These are the only 2 mods on my truck that I didn't install myself because they were a bit out of my skill range.
I got an Eaton E Locker installed in my rear diff and had the Marlin Crawler LCA braces welded on.

Tomorrow it gets an oil change and an alignment.

 

Yup

 

My $12 dollar iPhone stand... complete with mag charger

 

Got the truck back from my buddy's shop. Tires on and alignment completed.

Cooper Discoverer Road & Trail in factory size.

 

You have.... The color

 

Almost 93k on my 2017. Oil and filter changed, tires rotated and smog test completed this morning. Also, complete detail inside and out.

 

When I pull the trigger on the R&T I’m going up a size from 70 to 75 aspect ratio. Truck is otherwise stock. Hope I’m not f’ing up.

 

Nope, no CEL. Have to check fuel MPH on a longer trip, as after battery diconnect it starts at 25l/100km, as 11-13 is normal for my drive. Thanks for your help so far!

 

Truck finally got towed yesterday and to by a friend's shop. Got the dash torn down (now being put back together), and it turns out the N2 remote start was the issue. He removed the remote start, and the truck fired right up. The wording he used was the N2 was "shorting out" and causing the truck to not turn on. I'll pick it up Wed or Thurs (days off from work).

On reflection, I probably could have done that myself. But with the steering wheel locked into place, I had no readable access to the 2 screws behind the steering wheel (which was locked). But it's done.

 

I would have thought that a 2019 Sport would already have the OEM remote start system. I guess not.

 

Maybe on the higher end versions, but not this one. It might not have been an option 2019. I have no clue.

 

How far did he pull the dash down?? and why??
It sounds like a very east install, not sure why you need access to the 2 screws behind the steering wheel??

As a retired master tech, when you have a no crank no start with anything aftermarket that could affect the no start, you remove it or by pass it 1st, you don't start disassembling the vehicle (dash) looking for an answer, unless maybe if their is a known issue in that area... This is called KISS it (Keep It Simple Stupid)...

Not trying to disrespect anyone, but if you really meant he disassembled part/all the dash checking for your no start issue, I'd question him/her doing any diagnostics...

I sure hope you were not charged for all that time... just saying...

But this sucks, I was thinking about getting one, but now I don't know... lol

 

Annual rustproofing done.

Not the OP.
The N2 has to be connected to 2x plugs, if I remember correctly, underneath the steering wheel.

 

I am sure the lower drivers side dash panel has to be removed...

 

I have eaten black popcorn, I will just let that sink in a minute... lol

 

Just thought I'd share some pix of the plastic parts restored with the Cerakote Trim Coating.

 

I believe that if your Taco has a SOS button or an H-key there are some additional steps. I found this vid on YouTube where the guy takes the steering cover off for the H-key: N2 Designs 2016+ Toyota Tacoma HKEY AUTO & MAN Remote Start Install + Smart Module for any N2-EO kit - YouTube
I'm push to start, no SOS button so install was only one or two bolts by the drivers left foot and plugging in three wire harnesses. I spent more time trying to mount the N2 and hide wires than I did on the install.
About 20 months using the N2 with key takeover and so far, all is good.

 

I go to the same place. Need to get mine in before winter.

 

Good afternoon.
Late week I got my Vecel-usa cabinets installed and my first impression is that I'm really liking it.
Everything i had in my storage bins have been put away (cooking gear, recovery gear, etc) with more storage space available.
Little expensive but I've learned that I have no talent to make stuff like this.

Also added pics of my Starlink mount. With a couple of clamps off Amazon and 3 (2 ft each) pieces of 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe, it makes it real quick to put up, take down, and adjust the direction.
