What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Let me know if you have any questions I might be able to help out with.

Couldn't for the life of me get the glove box section out all the way, but make it work.

There's a tiny lip on the bottom of the lower panel insert that fits into the groove on the lower panel.

Get everything fixed in place (see my clamping system) before you start epoxying. I used the plastic bond (tan is all HD had in stock) from jbweld. I let it set for almost a day to be sure.

 

Took it to the dealer and had TSB-0092-20 done today. Will see if it made a real difference in a couple weeks when I get it on open road heading out to Indiana.

 

did you have to pay to have this done? Mine is a 2016 and def out of waranty.

 

Mine's a 2019 and was covered under the emissions warranty. This TSB currently only lists 2019-2020 as applicable. Discussion on it here.. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/tsb-0092-20-is-awesome.696230/

I had hit him up on the 14th as to where have you been? He came back with snow removal, Xmas stuff, work schedule as excuses for not being here. We all get busy sometimes and yes I hate to miss a day on here too, takes a while to get caught up.

 

This TSB doesn’t apply to your truck but others do. If you have less than 80,000 miles it’s free if you can get your dealership to do it. Some of them are real a$$holes about it and some do it with no questions asked.

 

Add FedEx to the list

 

FedEx has decided to deliver to my garage door instead of my front door which is bright yellow and visible from the street.

 

I’m not surprised. The FedEx Reddit page is full of horror stories. I’m glad you’re able to get your packages though. I’m waiting to receive wheels that they marked delivered last week but never showed up. I already filed a claim and let Method Wheels know already. Hopefully they send me another set soon.

 

My fuse block came with a circuit breaker. My compressor already has fuses inline on the power cables. Only thing needing a fuse is maybe my winch but it has a breaker now too. I was just wanting to clean up my positive battery terminal. Maybe this isn't the right part for the job...

 

Thanks. Good to know. I was absent for a while and know it seems to take days to get caught up.

 

Where did they put that sticker?

 

Going in soon for my recall. going to have them do the ECU update as well.

 

Alright, maybe I’m just being too gentle, but I’m having a heck of a time getting my tail lights out to do the Meso stage 1 update.. I know I’ve removed the correct bolts, but the tails seem to be stuck in there and I hear plastic creeking so I’m being a bit of a baby about pulling any harder.


Any tips for those that did this recently? Do I need to pull from a certain place first? Or just pull until it pops loose? Please feel free to point and laugh along with your responses.

 

They usually put them on the underside of the hood.

 

Is it cold there? Just make sure you pull straight back. It definitely takes some oomph but be careful if it’s cold. Plastic gets brittle in the cold

 

It’s probably just because it’s cold.

 

Funny you should mention that. I've been wondering the same thing. Hope he is alright. @RivetNutBob where are you?

 

Thats right....haven't seen @Tullie either. Maybe they're on an adventure together

 

Just did mine yesterday.

Grab the bottom with one hand and the top with the other and pull straight back rather hard. Stop as soon as you hear the loud pop, so you don't yank the wires. Probably put a foot behind you, get a good stance,m you're going to have to pull hard enough that if you aren't ready for it you could lose your balance.

Also if you pull out the little plastic inserts that the two pins snap into, pull them off the pins and put them back in the holes before you put the light back in.

Back in is just line it up (make sure the new harnessing isn't in the way and is tucked back into the void) and give it a good pop with the palm of your hand to seat the pins back in their spots. Then put the two bolts back in (one of the videos I watched had you take out a completely unnecessary third bolt ‍♂️).
