What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No worries! I still have trouble understanding how complex tire sizes can get and how they can affect other things...

 

Awesome pic man , I saved the picture . Helps me understand better haha !

 

I've got 20/10 vision and can see great at night... and I've had 15% on my old 2006 Tacoma for years. Haven't had any problems except for going down dark roads and needing to take a sharp right or left in the dark, can't see much in those situations and I sometimes roll the window down a little to make sure there's nobody there walking their dog or a ditch or something in the road or something like that.
My wife just did 35% up front on her SUV and there are no problems at night.
I'm getting my 2016 done all the way around with 15% in a couple weeks. I'm used to it and I like the total privacy but I've learned how to deal with occasional issues at night.
Just think about how good you can see and what you're expecting from the tint and you'll make a good decision.

 

You know... that actually looks pretty good. I was considering getting that grill off eBay since it's only $315 after taxes and shipping. I think this just pushed me over the edge to get it. Good job!

 

That's a great price. Mine was $370.

 

How rigid are the strips of aluminum on there? Can you flex them with gentle pressure, or do they seem pretty solid?

 

They are very, very solid. No flex at all. I estimate the grille is about 8 pounds, if not more.

 

Picked her up from the dealership and brought her home. TRD SPORT 6 speed

 

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa........Now did you remove the STUPID visor warning stickers? So many people post that they are difficult to remove or make the material look horrible once done. Please give me details.

 

He said he used his wifes steamer I believe, and it left a little residue behind which sucks because dirt will stick to it over time.

 

I'd love to get those stupid ugly stickers off
Might have to try this

 

First Tacoma, and I love it! Switched from a 3rd gen 4runner due to the lack of options offered in the newest 4runners. It may have been posted somewhere in the previous 400+ pages+ pages but has anyone successfully upgraded their stock 6 speaker stereo?

 

Yes, there are many threads about this.

 

I found this video on youtube:

It's for a Mustang so removal / installation of the visors will be different on a Taco. However, skip to ~ 2:30 and watch how he does it with a hair dryer, alcohol and Goo-Gone.

 

Yeah, used this little gem made by sunbeam. i think it was like $10 and its lasted a couple years now.

I heated them up with a hair dryer, pealed up a corner then used the steamer underneath as i pealed the rest of the sticker off.

I guess I shouldn't have said residue. It is not sticky at all, i don't know if its a little leftover glue (if it is, its super minute) or if its just a fade mark, but I can tell where they were. I'll post a picture tomorrow in the daylight. It's definitely a ton better than the stickers being on there though, IMO.

 

Just got 2 words for your Startup screen.... Daa Yum!!!

 

I took that badass truck back to the dealership last night.

They called me yesterday saying they couldn't get the interest rate we already signed for, they wanted to raise my payments... After we signed the contracts.... And then when I get to the lot, over an hour away, they wanna talk about new deals we can make or other trucks we can look at.

I handed him the keys and told him I wouldn't trust anything he says now and walked out.


So I'm back shopping for a truck. Although I also looked at a couple jeeps.... But I'm pissed about the truck... It was sweet. The payments they wanted weren't though.

 

Damn dude! That takes balls! Sorry to hear this, I hope you find a good deal. Maybe at a different dealership.

Out of curiosity, what interest rate did you sign for and what did they raise it to? If you don't mind me asking...

 

Sorry to hear that. That's BS even have to deal with that after everything you've been through

 

Maybe you should wait until your previous Tacoma loan shows paid in full. It should raise your credit score, and you'll have less debt on paper.
