What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Owners manual only calls for oil changes every 10k. That said, I change it every 5k for peace of mind. You should be fine doing it every 10k but it’s up to you.

 

Not bad for it. Just a waste of money since you need to use synthetic which lasts much longer.

 

I changed my Ford 14 F150 5.0 every 7.5k with Motorcraft synthetic blend which is great oil. Change wifes 16 Escape at 7.5k with same oil. It is freakin clean when I change it. I will go 7.5k with full syntheic on the Taco without thinking about it. Not sold on 10k oil changes. I don't tow yet. Thinking hard about a 24'-26' travel trailer. If towing I might go to 5k depending on tow weight. For strictly non towing on the road driving 7.5k will be fine.

 

Does anybody know how to re-calibrate the GPS on our trucks head unit?
The damn weather app is always wrong.
It gives me the temperature of Coronado when I'm in Sorrento Valley at-least 20miles up north.
And it won't let me manually enter location to let it correct either.

 

Ditto on 5k. Depends on how much you love your Taco I guess. Piece of mind alone makes it worth it to me. Plus the more I'm under there the quicker I'll notice if I'm developing a problem.

 

Back in the 80's I worked at NAS Norfolk. One of my good friends there ended up in Texas too. Think it was Morton Thiokol somewhere near Marshall. My best friend from my youth ended up running his own sports travel company in Coppell outside Dallas for Cowboys tours. Got rich too. Then he passed around 4 years ago. Actually know of at least 10 locals that ended up there. My cousins got rich as glass workers when Houston was booming.

 

Finished the method bolts

 

That quicksand and black look really good together

 

Can you verify the part numbers for my 16 Taco Sport. 550013 amber sport fogs and 447110 mounts.

 

If you want to save a little enter part #557813 instead of QTY: 2 #550013. Other then that the 447110 Fog Pocket Kit is correct!

Tinted the windows much darker and added some Method NV's and K02's. I have a sport so originally it came with 17's. Opted to go with 16's and go up to 265/75/R16 No rubbing issues and the rims fit great.

 

@flinky looks great! Strongly considering doing the same with bronze NVs. Nice to see no rubbing. Are you running a lift?

Found an almost new Leer 100xq for $700...

 

That's a steal. Suites the truck too.

 

That looks really good. What notch setting did you go with? I am trying to hold out for the 6112/5160 kit until some black Friday sales start. But I’m chomping at the bit to get one for mine!

 

finished the flatbed fabrication!

No lift yet. Im going to wait a bit to lift it.

 

Installed my old bike rack on the new Taco.

 

Sweet rack. Are those rear-facing D2 Duallys?
