What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

to account for the inherent "taco lean"

 

What if there's a head wind?

 

That's pretty helpful. I looked at KO2's and it's about a grand just for the rubber (I want 285's). So I'm looking at alternatives. I had Falkens on my 350Z and they were very solid tires. Wheels and tires for less than $1200 is solid.

 

My truck is the 4x4 TRD Off-Road package, I was planning on selling the stuff I take out (spring/bilsteins front and back); what about you, do you plan to keep them just in case or sell them too?

 

I ripped all that stuff off the first week I had my truck, but do plan on keeping it around.

 

I've found that just adding additional vinyls over the in dash touch screen does a good job of mitigating the power draw from the nav arrow, although to get + 20hp you're gonna have to go with something like a "these colors don't run" vinyl.

Honestly, I tend to prefer fixing all mechanical issues by adding stickers and vinyls. Vibrating hood? Put a sticker on it. ATF fluid low? No problem, wrap that bitch in a vinyl.

I feel like not enough people have really considered adhesives when trying to get everything possible out of your vehicle.

Hello everyone,
First post, New member and finally got a Tacoma! This thread has been awesome . So many great ideas and good looking trucks! My add-ons are minimal due to my a limited budget. Good things will come in time though. I've installed CCG Grill, Plasticolor flaps (4WD & MTN Scene), Yeti bottle opener, KB Voodoo XRXS, stainless chrome tailgate letters with a matte black overlay, Subdued flags also matte black, and my G4 Elite just shipped today . Debating on plastidip for the emblems. KCCO

 

Just got my truck a Stant locking gas cap. Don't know why Toyota decided against a locking door but oh well . Problem solved

 

I added 1/3qt to my transmission today

TT

 

Confused by the pic...do explain please?!

 

VERY nice looking truck ! for a limited budget you have some nice add ons, that grill ROCKS and I like that bottle opener in the bed i was going to plasti dip my badges to but then decided to just remove all the badges and i really like the look .. just an idea

 

Let me know how that G4 works out for you please. Looking at ordering one in the next couple of weeks as well. Curious to know how it stands up to the other covers out there and how much water it lets in. Thanks.

 

perhaps there already is a vehicle in the garage..... perhaps my truck will not be at my house when it hails.... I actually drive the truck from time to time and the most accurate weather data seems to indicate hail does not just occur at my house.

 

I'm changing my blinker fluid when I get home from work.

 

Welcome to the pit of melted plastic and empty pockets! Is that a beer commercial?

 

wow....I did not notice that garage there. Thanks for pointing that out.....

 

Will do. I'll be posting pics of the install and fit.
