Factor 55 Pro Link install is up on the channel

 

Thanks for the info on the running boards...I'll look forward to some pics once you have your new wheels. Cheers

 

Got a pic of the lego so we can get an idea of the size of the toy truck?

 

666, the number of the beast. If you're 555, then I'm 666.

 

The bronze stands out more. I'd go bronze, especially if you add a few other accessories of the same color. My taco is cavalry blue, but i had my bed rack, front grill insert (aftermarket), coils, and a few other accessories powder coated gunmetal gray to add some color to my rig! Being unique is awesome.

 

That trail damage adds character to your truck! I have a dent on the rear quarter panel above gas cap because I was offloading a kayak from my roof and it slipped and put a slight dent in the panel, also scuffed the fender. I also have other trail damage.

 

To me, nothing beats a plain round ball.

 

That’s one of the first things I noticed when I got mine. I had about 4 pins that were bent to one side. Good catch.

 

Think you can also use a 5/8" rubber grommet that keeps it from moving around. Here is a post with an example: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/new-shift-knob.609782/

 

Heads up on the fuel pump recall. It appears Toyota has expanded the recall. My 19 wasn't on it originally but after reading about the expansion I checked again and it now is. Here's a link to check if anyone is interested.

Edit: 2017 -2020 Tacoma's with a build date between Early September 2017 - Mid-September 2019.

 

Took off my RCI plates for the winter season as i don't plan to wheel until the spring. worst case i re-install them in the snow
But they took a decent beating in the one year i had em


money well spent, thanks @RCI-Offroad


but any idea the best way to punch out the dent in the filter door?
I'd smack it with a sledge, but figured to ask before going at it

I also ended up punching out the two m6 (i think it's m6) bolts that held the skids down in the OEM placement behind the trans, the ones that hold the front and the mid plates where the OEM nuts are located inside the LCA mount.

shattered the spacer and bent the supplied bolts.

for the last month, i ended up tossing on some grade 5 stuff as a replacement and ended up using wing nuts to tighten it down in the LCA mount since it's basically impossible for me to get any wrench in that location

any idea of any alternative way to keep things in place?

 

Found these in the garage. They're from my 1999 Taco. Back then it seems Toyota was proud to associate their name with the Taco.

 

I have one of those from my black 2001 Taco Access Cab TRD OR. Was going to install on the tailgate but ended up trading it in sadly. Cant see any reason to discard it though.

 

still got to get mine done for my 18. I've had the notice for a few months now and i keep forgetting about it lol

But surprising to see that the recall had expanded to other years now. thanks for the heads up

 

Thank you kind sir!

The only thing my son lives more than Toyota’s is LEGO!

 

I had my fuel pump replaced yesterday took about 4 hours

 

I think one of those would look great painted body color and mounted on the driver’s side of a prinsu wind deflector.

 

that would look cool on the 3rd gen
