Canadian 3rd Gen Thread

Variable rate.

I can't even remember my rate and I did it 6 months ago

I think I was around 2.54% over 5 years and I did things up before the last interest drop... plus I got back a few points on my other borrowing costs and no fee banking.

Just a private thing but what killed me on my mortgage was my wifes insurance. She had a health scare that turned out to be nothing in some screening tests but because of the way our system works that makes her a high risk to insure. So basically even to have her life insured against the mortgage was a major PITA and cost. I looked at private insurance but it was even worse.

 

Insurance, aka loan sharks.

Once you use it they jack up your rates to get their money back. Never mind the 50 years you paid your premiums without a single claim!

 

It was life insurance .

 

I know what you meant, was talking more general.

In your case they use any excuse to charge you more

 

Absolutely.

 

That is one nice shop my friend.

 

Thank you.
It was a lot of work for the two of us, but satisfying in the end.

2016 taco inside would finish it off.

 

No kidding.

 

Hello Everyone. Just as a precaution, if you decide to show up at Mayfield you need to contact me in advance if you want the type of discount that Jason is talking about. If you are dealing directly with another Sales Person or Manager you will not be able to get the pricing that I can offer. I know this is borderline advertising but I have just had a few customers complain recently about not getting the same pricing.

Keeping this thread going…

Need opinion from my fellow Canadians. Its REALLY unfortunate we have no options for grills up here, hence we are getting thoroughly robbed buying aftermarket things below the border. I'm torn on these two grills Was thinking of just plasti-dipping, but want something long-term. Both grills below are roughly $400…US! Pricy I know…opinions anyone??

Ps…my truck will be an inferno…After I chose, I have the headache of deciding how to black out the grill trim chrome…ugh!

 

It`s a truck! Why would you spend $400 on a bloody grill that you can`t see when you are driving anyway and has no function.

I think because he wants his truck to look bad ass. Same reason some guys put on aftermarket rims.

 

Perfect, I knew there had to be a logical reason.

Take Care

ps It still is just a mid size bad ass wannabee Tacoma truck with a grill nobody will notice even after he replaces it.

 

I think the grill looks horendous. I will probably replace mine too. Different strokes for different folks as they say.

 

yeah, thanks for the much needed insightful advice. Wannabee, ha!

 

If you think the only reason to put on aftermarket rims is to look badass you're not doing it right. Backspacing, rim width, weight, and durability are all good reasons to change rims. When people buy rims they should think about what they want to do with the truck and buy the rims for that.

For me the stock grill was nice but when I S/C'd I wanted a little more airflow for my hidden Volant airscoop. The "looks" are just a bonus. I like the throwback to the Toyota truck days too. History and all that, I always wanted Marty McFly's truck as a kid.

Thanks for your contribution as stated. I bet your coworkers, friends, and sexual partners find your brunt unnecessary comments extremely helpful in their day to day lives.

 

Back on topic I'd look at grill option number 2. I think that company also offers a grill that can house LED lights. Then you could throw some DOT approved versions of the Rigid pod lights in there for better visibility should you ever need it. Not only would it look great but it would be very functional.

 

I like the first grille -logo looks more authentic and if you paint the letters body colour like the second one, it'd be all good.

 

I'm going the other way though…getting rid of anything that is chrome and flashy to offset the inferno colour…much prefer flat black accents…instead of more bling, looking for more subtle looks….so actually still considering the $18 can of plastidip for the grill…though not as durable.

 

Hey fellow Canucks and Albertans..

Anyone here running Old Man Emu or other aftermarket suspension? Where are you getting it done in Alberta?
