What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have ignored about 10 posters. It has eliminated about 99% of the negative bullshit on this forum.

True story.

 

Couple of additions came in the mail today.

Diode Dynamics HP5 LED tag lights and Rubbermade 1172 Actionpacker storage box.

24 gallon ActionPacker:

 

I am sorry you had a bad Tacoma. You certainly are not alone. Yes I am ornery. Yes I am old. And on occasion I am an azz. I count my blessings mine has been a good truck. Not excellent but a good truck. Even though mine is good I know the engine and transmission are not up to the standards of Toyota. If I had some of the major issues that others had I would have moved on. Fortunately the updates have resolved my minor transmission issues. I have, perhaps blind, faith that they will eventually fix this once and for all. The power band is way too narrow for the displacement which I blame on the Atkinson cycle. Then again that is the reason my mpg range is so high. Everything is a trade off. I sold 2 great trucks to buy my 3rd gen. Had a 2008 Prerunner and a 2014 F150. Neither were good on gas. Both had plenty of torque and horsepower. The V8 Ford sucked fuel like a demon. I had my periods of doubt and actually started pricing a 2017 F150 3.5 liter. Then most of my issues were resolved. Been a happy camper the past year. Good luck with the GMC. Nothing wrong with being happy with what you are paying for. At the moment I am happy with my Tacoma.

 

All good, brother!

 

I prefer the front end looks and wheel wells of the Sierra over the Silverado; a little more rounded vs. the square angles of the silverado. Also, the GMC dealer was giving me a much better trade value and deal on the SLT than what I could get from the Chevy store. Wanted the All Terrain, but settled for the gaudy chrome-clad premium plus package.

Oh, and we all know the ridgeline is a chopped minivan with a tub for a bed, not a truck.

 

I love the lights but they cast a weird green glow on your tag! What's up with that?!

 

Thanks!

You win man! Coolest 3rd gen I've seen on TW. And don't even like quicksand!!!

 

Thank you sir! I try to execute tasteful yet functional mods.

 

Just like the one I posted on here that was at the dealer. Except for the bumper. Wheels look great with that color.

 

And a few inches more of rubber

 

But ya, that post swayed me. Thanks a lot!!

 

Interesting though, is your screen name. I take it turd is a positive term?

 

Reminds me too much of deployment and humvee/mrab wheels in desert sand color. Not for me, but unique.

 

With a little bigger tires and some armor would look the way mesojdm"s looks great. I like the military look.

 

Been surrounded by it for the last 8 years, (23 months left but who's counting), would rather not bring it home. But everyone is different.

 

I completely understand that and thank you!!

 

No thanks needed and thank you as well

 

Didn't see much military vehicles. Lucky I guess. I mostly just saw ships and our jets..and all those bombs we had to load...lol
