What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah I plan on getting my skids from rci. Hopefully getting my sliders next month. I've seen people mounting aluminum skids to the gas tank so that there's no chance of spark. Maybe a little too paranoid, but still.

 

I played around with the camera today. I'm still trying to learn my way around it and shoot in manual instead of automatic. what do you guys think?

 

^ You're on a good track. I think you're being let down by your post-processing though. I'd bump up your contrast if you know how to. Maybe your color saturation as well a smidgeon. And the camera isn't the greatest thing, but you have the important part: the eye. Good luck on your photography journey.

 

I don't edit any of my photos, and I don't know a lot about a camera lol. just reading little things here and there. thanks for the input!

 

What seat cover is that? It's funky but I kinda like it...

 

Well then my friend, get yourself a basic free editor. Do you have an apple computer? The iPhoto program has basic functions like contrast and saturation editing already built in. You'll be amazed how much better your work will look.

 

ZroadZ.com makes the pods/brackets, lightbar, brackets etc. T-Rex makes the grille, however it's a special, probably not released to public grille.

 

If it came with the truck, they wont take it back. I tried with my oval step bars. however, if you decide to sell... Let me know. Im looking for one. Im in the bay area as well.

 

my parents do, I'll check it out next time I'm over there! thank you!

 

BFG KO2's

 

There's that damn truck again!

 

sorry! just trying to work with this camera haha

 

Don't sell yourself short.

These things are pretty easy to do with some basic hand tools. You can find all of the instructions on how to do them on the forum if you do a little searching. It feels pretty good to know things are definitely in-spec, rather than just hope that the dudes at the dealership decided to actually do the work that they say they did. I called the service department today and asked them if they'd heard that 2016 Tacomas were being sent out with low transmission fluid, and I suggested that they actually check the level rather than just blow off the pre-delivery check. He replied with "We do check the level, and we test drive them." I guess they just missed my truck. Or 0.8 qt of ATF was consumed in 2500 miles. Oh well. I like learning about my vehicles. With the internet at your fingertips, it makes researching the jobs really straightforward.

 

Looking good man, you get ya a new fancy camera your trying out?

 

267/75r16 kO2's put on today. So far no rubbing.

 

using mommys Nikon 3100 that she never uses. probably gonna buy it off of her.

 

I recommend you start by just changing the oil. Many threads here to show you how, and videos on YouTube. If you do this, you'll know whether you want to try the other things.

 

@Quicksand_TuRD Are you using Manual or AP? Manual is too much work for me unless I am doing a single long exposure.

I prefer settings like AP that give me control over the focus point but let the camera adjust the F stop.

 

I'm using manual.
