What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

We hauled our 14ft Trailer with the zero-turn lawn mowers to to have tune-ups done on'em. We forgot to grab a pic after we loaded them since the rain started. But the Taco hauled it like a champ. Looking forward for longer trips to the mudparks with the atv's later this year.
Trailer weight: 1980 LBS
Toys weight: 2x700 LBS (roughly, weight of each and we had two)
Total haul weight: 3380 LBS (roughly)

 

Where? Oh the dreaded pillar decals? Ya still undecided about those. I kinda like that it blacks out the cab. But it might give a cleaner appearance without. Seen any pics for a BBP with those removed?

 

Do the Go Rhino boards go past the widest part of the doors?

 

Talking to a guy on CL for oem mud flaps and he wants $50. Good deal or should I lower it?

 

If hes askin $50, offer $30 and plan to pay $40.

 

I'm look for pictures of trucks with mud flaps

 

Did you do UCA's?

 

Major low ball. I ask for $35 And he says $40.

 

There is an ongoing group buy...

No, no instructions but was pretty straight forward. Just slides on over the existing pipe with the bolts to tighten to get in secure. If the bolts aren't tightening enough then you likely have the tip too far out from the existing line. The existing pipe won't be too far from the outer edge of the new "tip" when properly placed.

 

Agreed, really bothers me when people low ball like that. Usually when that happens, I just ignore any other offers from them. I'd honestly just pay the $50 if they're new/new like condition.

 

Mpg?

 

Same setup I want to go with. Any chance you can get a measurement from the top of the cab to the ground? We are moving to a older home on some land and I'm wondering about it fitting in the garage. I know it will fit in the current house, but not sure about the next one. Trying to figure it out before I pull the trigger and it has to sit outside! Thanks

 

sent him a small rundown on what happened with me. Truck is running great now. No problems at all since getting it back. Put about 4k hard miles on it and it is averaging 19.6mpg. Highway I can get about 18.8 to 19.6 and around town averaging 22mpg.

 

Check the thread about checking your UBolts not being torqued correctly. I think it has solved this issue with some.

 

After the weekend trip to Big Bear with the wife, I think I finally managed to get her excited about the truck and the fun we can have with it.



Just ordered a Softopper and Husky x-act floor liners.

 

Attempting to install weather tech mud flaps.... But the screw that goes in the back doesn't tighten, it just falls out the hole??

Am I doing something wrong? Or are people just using the front 3 fasteners?

 

You are not doing anything wrong. Toyota put a square hole in the body, but did not install a fastener. WT has a source for the fasteners and sent me a couple free of charge. Check the Mud Flap thread here somewhere.

I met a guy yesterday with an early-built '16 TRD OR, and he merely mentioned it to his service department and they did some spring magic (fix and/or replace). Apparently it's actually a thing on some early builds. I suggest you make the call.

 

Wheelers specifically told me that their black lugs do not play nicely with the TRD Pro wheels. I'm hoping to find an alternative, especially with locking capabilities.
