• Welcome to Tacoma3G.com, a free resource for 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma owners!

    This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums.

The Start button…the light?

L

Lava road

possibly a ghost :(
Did you know the light for the Start button is very bright as you enter the truck….I just install the MESO Red Start/Stop button (large).
Once you start your truck..the light goes DIM… That is very smart of Toyota….

Note when removing the outer ring…mark top and maybe bottom….as you are re-install the ring…it goes on a certain away…I had to keep turning to find the right slots , before pushing it back in…

The RED makes it so much easier to see and press the right buttons…. Note I added a diamond ring (Amazon) on the ring of the start button..…”Stands out”…lol
Aloha

The top section with the yellow does NOT show up on my I pad? How do I attach pictures from my I-pad-to this page on the forums? I don’t even know how to paste or copy…never needed too..
Yes I am a dinosaur…. and pictures do speak a thousand words…. Will sign language work? Lol

I search Google…got lost on the first instructions…paste? I know how to use glue? Lol.
I am a old dog…and teaching old dogs to change ? .um…
Thank you for sharing…sorry slow learner…

If you ask about, How to fish for “Ulua’s” from a cliff or shoreline using live baits, or how to hook and slide live eels as baits…I can tell you… Most our reels are conventional 4-0. - 6-0 ,80 lb mainline, 200 lb leaders…casting leads 9 oz…with wire anchors….kinda unique to Hawaii shoreline fishing…when it comes to computers….I am in the left field? Or on the bench…lol
