What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The bumpers and grille is dupli-color charcoal metallic paint. The badges are Rustolum charcoal metallic peel away (like plasti dip) figure paint would hold up better in those places..

 

Tailgate letters

 

I changed out differential and transfer case fluids at 5,100 miles.
I used 6 quarts of Redline 75W85 GL-5 in the differentials and 1 quart of Toyota 75W LF in the transfer case.

 

I too cannot lie. I have owned several Toyota and several Ford F150 trucks. My 2014 F150 and my 2008 Taco that I sold to buy this 2016 Tacoma were both problem free low mileage excellent vehicles. I wish I could say that about my new truck. I do love my truck (size, ride, appearance, interior, features, mpg). I have 5011 miles on it today and cannot wait to drop it at the dealer this week. If they check, and fill, the fluid in my slipping transmission and fix that, and they remove the driver door panel and fix the grease smear that occurs inside my glass every time it goes down and up from the 10th mile, and they fix the choked turkey squealing from my right front suspension and, last for now, replace the broken from the factory tpms sensors, that were rolling around inside 3 stock wheels and then properly balance my new wheels and tires that I already paid to have mounted and balanced I might be able to classify this with my previous Toyota trucks. Otherwise the only trouble I ever had with my 8 F150 trucks was poor gas mileage. Quality of my 1987-2015 Toyotas (4 Pickups, 1 4runner, 1 Highlander, 1 Rav4, 1 Corolla, 2 Avalons) and 1983-2014 F150 trucks (1 '83, 1 '87, 3 '96, 1 '94, 1 '98, 1 '14 plus 4 Escapes '01-'16 and a sweet 1985 Bronco) were pretty darn even IMO. Ford and Toyota vehicles are getting 300k miles if they are maintained now. It just bothers me that I have more issues in 5 months with this 2016 than I had with my previous 8-10 vehicles. I do blame myself some for buying the first of a redesigned truck. I know the first year is always the guinea pig year for any new model. I only hope Toyota can restore my faith. To me the new Taco is the best looking truck I ever had. I hope it will be the longest lasting one.

 

I'd slap a hoe

 

Somebody be walking home

 

Pics of said tundra built by said founder of Camburg?

 

Where did u get them from?

 

@rrentrop

 

See my sig below.

 

You actually found a dealer that sells the 75w LF?! I hit a couple in my area and the parts guys looked at me like I was crazy. They told my they just fill/Replace it with bulk gear oil. I ended up putting in Royal Purple Synchromax. Got me 5 more HP. (Kidding).

 

Long gone now. No pictures on this phone. Nothing special. Jerry added a basic lift for me about 9 years ago. Loved how it looked. Wasn't done for a normal Camburg build. Matched his Seqoa at the time. I'll try and dig up some pictures.

Going from a tundra to a taco is a shock with size.

 

I would have totally left this card on this dudes windshield today...took up 4 spots with his stupid h3

 

Just bought my first Tacoma a couple of days ago. So far, only mods are "derping" the TRD Grille, removed the TRD Stickers and slapped on some BFG All Terrain KO2s (265/70r17). Got to take it up to the West Maui mountains yesterday to put the 4x4 to the test. LOVE THIS TRUCK!

I have some Interior LEDs on the way and getting the windows tinted this week.

Any recommendations for what I should do next that wont break the bank would always be appreciated!



Cheers!

 

Washed my black truck today and figured out that it's not something I want to do too often haha. Truck looks amazing when clean but it's such a pain in the ass! Also found a small scuff that the dirt was hiding pretty well and it made me sad, first recognized blemish on my new truck. Seemed pretty light though so it may be buffable.

 

Nice truck and welcome to tw!!

 

Just curious, was the change in size not expected?

 

It was expected and I did want a smaller vehicle. Just was basically the stock ride OEM. I was just used to the old ride.

 

I would only leave that card after smashing the F'n F out of it will a baseball bat!

 

NICE, happy fathers day back at ya!

Nothing as beautiful in the world as Ole Glory flying in the wind!
