What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thank you for your service

 

im possibly getting a new truck..... dealer thinks my trucks a lemon. im in a 16 4x2 TRD OR DCSB and i really want a 4x4 but i cant afford the 4x4 SPORT OR THE OR in 4x4. should i step down to a loaded sr5 4x4 DCSB?

 

My parents wanted me focused on my studies. Granted I still worked and still put in the money when I could. But working part time as a busboy to pay for a car among other things isn't really feasible. I don't consider myself spoiled but rather very much fortunate that I was raised in a family that both could afford nice things for ourselves as well as teach me that you have to earn everything, not just have it all handed to you.

Also, thank you for your service. I wanted to join up in our Armed Forces but sadly being diabetic doesn't look to appealing on a physical.

 

Yeah, I'm a toyota tech. I get to do all the fun stuff like ECU reflashes and Airbag, frame, and piston replacements under warranty all day. Haha

 

When I priced Access Cabs I found that the TRD Sport was basically $1000 more than the similarly equipped SR5. If you are going to lift and throw mods at it then you might be ok with the SR5 without the appearance package. But with that package and the tow pkg you might as well spend it on a Sport. So far it appears the Sport hood is holding glue better than the flat hoods. But with wheels and seat covers and grille changes you can change a lot on an SR5. Really you can get an SR double cab V6 much cheaper and mod it out a ton for far less than a Sport price. Go with YOUR budget and not others opinions. It just depends on the options you want from the factory.

 

You forgot oil changes and tire rotations

 

im getting mine done tomorrow... I haven't had these major issues everyone else is having so I hope by getting it done it'll just improve verses making it worse

 

Sitting in the parking lot and look what pulls in right across from me. Gotta love taco tueaday

 

That's a $280K education right there and not just given away.
It's called hard work!

 

Took my girl for her last ride. Had to put her down. Boy am I going to mis her ridding with me.

 

I do not know of these things you speak of.

 

If I ever when the lottery I'll help you out.......

 

mine wasnt doing anything crazy either (at 386 miles on the ODO), but i have noticed a slightly smoother 1-2 shift.

i flashed a co-workers early-production truck as well, which was slipping out of gear in first and felt real sloppy into Drive/Reverse... it had a significant improvement after the flash. its worth getting done, plus it pays the tech 24 whole minutes of work!

i also went ahead and switched my turn signal auto-flash to 4 flashes instead of 3, and disabling the seatbelt chimes.

 

That breaks my heart. Hang in there and I am confident she had a good life having you as an owner. Rest in peace in doggy heaven

 

WTF ARB has a bumper out for 2016!?!

 

Yeah man that,s a tuff one. Sorry for your loss.

 

Damn.. Got me right in the feels bro. RIP

 

Poor puppy, so sorry for your loss. Nothin' like a best doggie friend.

 

My truck is heading in for 10k maintenance. I plan to have:

- Tranny level
- Grease zerks
- TSB flash
- Oil change
- Rotation

Anything I'm missin that I should ask for?

Thx guys.
