What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I added the lights when I added m switch panel, so the battery was disconnected.

 

Love that switch panel! Very clean

This might be a stupid question, but after you disconnect the battery, does it reset vehicle settings back to factory? For example - MDS preferences, head unit settings etc..

 

Who did you order the grill from? What was the “lead time”? Truck looks really nice!

 

It keeps all the head unit settings - trip computer and trip odometer clear. Also, if you have an auto, the “learning” part of the transmission resets. I’m sure there is a list so where on here outlying what exactly is impacted, but those are the most obvious to me.

 

Thanks! I ordered mine from Empyre Offroad a few months ago. It shipped out within a few days

 

Do you have a forward facing camera? Was that an option?

 

Plus the catch can can easily be removed if you ever feel you have an issue and need to take it to the dealer for any kind of warranty work.

 

Added a little power to the bed for camping. Charges the iPhone and controls bed lighting, exterior rear lights.

 

I traded mine in for this. Won’t be my last Tacoma though, but with a 9 year old hockey player and a newborn baby girl, the Tacoma wasn’t big enough. Still have my wife’s 4Runner too.
At least fuel is cheap to run through the tundra!

 

Curt 2inch front receiver 31075 3500lb tow and 9500lb straight pull.

 

Did you use Prinsu mounts or the ARB quick mounts?

 

Nice - now drop a light in there so you can see where your backing up, when you’re not towing a trailer.

 

Totally didn’t realize that was a front mount when I responded.

 

lol def need a mud plug.

 

No and no, I don’t believe there was an option for the forward facing camera.

 

I honestly never noticed the glare from the license plate lights until it was pointed out here....then it was all in saw on the screen at night. Haha. Anyway I figured I'd DIY my own covers from the leftover plastic from when I cut down the 3 foot OEM mud flaps. Time will tell how they hold up but they look like they're supposed to be there I guess.

 

Nice - I wonder if MA would take issue during state inspection? I put the plate light disable kit in mine.

 

Looks nice. Where exactly is this located? Tennessee somewhere? My last name is spray painted on the rocks (not that I would do that) and I've never been there before so just curious.

 

Hmm...I dunno. We're fortunate in Oregon (or unfortunate depending on your perspective) that our state doesn't fine tooth comb vehicle inspections. Really, other than an emissions exam/test to renew registration, there are no vehicle inspections.

While I like being able to modify my vehicle without worrying about some inspector picking it apart, we could use a bit more thorough inspections IMO. Some of the vehicles on the road out here...it's like fucking Mad Max and not in a cool way.

 

I’m trying to complete the rear diff breather mod and can’t for the life of me remove the original diff breather. I tried hitting it with my purse and rounded out the corners of the bolt pretty good.

Anybody else had trouble with this before?

Looking for any advise before I get out the vise grips
