3rd Gen Accessory Thread

I wouldn’t even of known about this cool little extra if not for this site:

 

TRD Suspension lift installed today! Need a wash but here it goes. Drives great!!! Gotta get used to a lift again though

 

I can buy an 80k truck on impulse but I’m having a hard time buying a $40 key fob cover

 

LMAO I had the same feeling! Took me 2 weeks to finally click "place order" haha.

 

Look at it this way, it’s only $40 and you can take turns using the stock key fob and the AJT one (you should have 2 stock ones). That way you have one of each…..

 

Installed the bed step today. Fuck anyone who says that’s easy and bolts right on.

had to undo the strap and bumper panel

 

Where in Dallas did you get the lift installed if you don't mind me asking? How much did the dealership charge for the install? TIA

 

Actually, I did the install with a little tilting and twisting... Didn't remove any strap or bumper panel... I also mounted the bottom bolt up from the bottom, not down through the bracket that goes inside the hitch square tube. That's is a key difference.

 

I need pics on that last part. Did you take the bolt out ?

 

Hmmm.... Not installed to spec?

 

Took bold out, insert step, snugged everything then started tightening down with this bolt here first.

 

Toyota of Dallas. They charged me $2900

 

GOOD LAWD AL'MIGHTY!

 

Didn't come with instructions, didn't download or review them on this forum, just figured this shit out. Been working for 5k miles/6 months... No worries.

 

Yep, the original dealer was trying to charge me 4K.

 

Damn that would have been easier lol. I installed the consoles safe first and had a false sense of ease on the step

 

Installed the Burger Motorsports BOV. Had it on for 24 hours before I removed them. I did install them with zero out of the 4 set screws to get the full BOV effect. BMS recommends installing 2 set screws and adjusting. To get an OEM feel they say install all 4 set screws, or run zero set screws to get the loudest BOV sound. But with zero set screws the truck just drove terrible so I ended up removing them completely. On the first test drive the truck stalled with any sudden braking and I got the error message below. Stalled 3 times on the first test drive with hard braking. The truck would also stall when acceleration uphill with steady stop and go acceleration. With regular driving the truck drove fine, but was still slightly jerky. The BOV wssshhh sound was also very faint even with zero set screws. I confirmed I installed it properly and triple checked my intake hoses were not loose. In summary I'm not a fan and would not recommend. The faint BOV sound was not worth the safety concern.

 

I had a similar experience with the prototypes. Truck stalled maybe once or twice in 1,000 miles. No jerkyness at WOT but did had a very noticeable upshift when I'd let off. I ended up taking off one of the plates and running one side with it and one without...problem solved but woosh sound was greatly reduced.

 

Man I just got the new ones in and was waiting to install this weekend but now between the last two posts may not. First product from Burger that I know of with any issues. Dang……

 

I think installing 2 or even 4 set screws may not cause driving issues. The BOV sound just won't be as noticeable is all.

 

So are you just not going to use yours?

 

Pretty much. May throw them on Facebook marketplace for the first 50 bucks.. but yea it was a $200 gamble. Having the engine stall multiple times in traffic was a nogo for me. I admit I was abruptly braking and accelerating to really test out any drive issues.. but still too unsafe for me and not worth it.

 

That almost sounds like the problems fixed by the recall out there, have you looked into that?

 

Yup. Had that recall taken care of a month back. Never had any drive issues or engine stalling until after the BOV install. Could be a coincidence. However I drive up the same hill everyday after work and engine never stalled. But after the BOV it died multiple times. Almost as if it was having a hard time regulating air at slow speeds. My intake hoses were tight and secured so it's most likely the BOV addition.

 

I had this recall done while testing the plates and it helped but didn't get rid of the off throttle surge

 

Man that stinks, I was hoping it would be something simple for you all to fix.

 

I have a brand new Westcott Lift kit for TRD PRO if anyone is interested

 

How do you like it so far? Is the price worth it compared to the rough country or wescott designs lifts?
