What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Didn't really do anything but it hauled my dirt bike from northern az back down to the valley

 

Put the chrome glove box decal on, ordered the sill protector ones but they don't fit my (clearly) non OEM door sill protectors (purchased as oem, also came with fitting instructions from Toyota).

Also put some 3/8" Spear fishing tube in the factory Tonneau to see if it stops the slight leak at the back

Picked her up today. Getting wheels and tires mounted as we speak.

 

Nice Enduro R. I've had 2 690 SMCs.

 

Are the TACOMA letters raised and a different font on your sill protectors? If so, then those are the 2nd gen version.

 

That'll be why then

 

You can return them for a refund, if you want.

 

Put my door sill protector and glove box vinyls on. Not perfectly placed due to my caffeine intake. But, really pleased with them!

 

Not sure if this counts as something I did TO my Taco, but it's FOR my Taco... Mr Marv speaker adapters that I'm eventually going to install with my stereo upgrade...

 

Cool. Happy Trails.

Didn't know if you realized or not, but the custom decal I had made and you used incorporated 2 of the ultra marathon running groups I belong to.
TAUR - Trail and Ultra Running (Cairn logo)
Yeti Trail Runners (Yeti carrying water bottle).

 

Those look like mechanic's Christmas tree ornaments...

 

ee

I remember that place up the road from Sultan and Gold Bar

 

OK so today I went to the dealer Rockingham Toyota in NH with my laundry list (short) for my 5K check up. When I bought my truck the leak was already out about the automatic transmissions being low on fluid. So 5 months ago before I picked up my truck I told the saleswoman (who was great) that I wanted them to check the tranny fluid before I would take the truck. She showed me the checklist at pick up and it showed tranny level good. So I felt good taking possession. Well since I have had it for 5k miles I always felt the gears were all over the place and my MPG was never better than 18 highway and 14 city. I had called the dealer a few times was told it takes time to break in blah, blah, blah. Well today I had them shut off the seat belt dinger, change the oil, they didnt want to they were going to charge me $50. Check the u joints and grease and CHECK THE TRANNY FLUID! After 2 hours they called me and said I am all set the service writer went through what they did and ended with they did not check the tranny fluid and were not going to because that will take another 4-5 hours because the truck is too hot. To which I said my truck has been sitting outside the bay doors for 45 mkinutes and you are just now coming to get me now. What have you been doing what have you checked. He said he has been looking for me I said I have been sitting right ther you walked by mt twice never called me on my phone or over the P.A. I stopped there and said please get the manager. To which I told the manager if I leave here today w/o getting transmission fluid checked I will never be back. The 5K check up states you will check all fluids, I said what does that mean you check windshield washer fluid? He finally agreed and they brought the truck back in to the bay after the service writer tried to sandbag me like I was an idiot I opened my phone with a PDF file on how to properly check the tranny fluid on a 16 Tacoma and said please stop talking to me like I am a fool. Low and behold I watched as my truck was on the lift with 4 mechanics under the truck they took the level indicator plug out and no fluid came out, none. They hooked up the pump and pumped and pumped until finally some fluid came back out. Then the manager comes out and tells me it was a little light almost unmeasurable. I said of course it is measurable there are lines on the side of the container you are pumping from. He said maybe 8 ounces. My guess is over 1.5 qts. I told him they were supposed to have checked this when I bought the truck and apparently they didn't....Well in the end, 5 hrs later, I left with everything I wanted they even changed the oil and waived the bill. Thanks again Sean. And low and behold I drive home it felt different, better and guess what first time I have seen 20 MPG after a drive! The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

 

This happened today

 

Added stickers. +5 recovery points and +1911.45 defense points.

 

You let someone drive your truck?!? (I rarely let my husband back it out of the garage!)

 

The JBL upgrade they didn't want you to have

 

Can you post the info on these? How much lift? Cost etc.. I really like them
