What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Durped the grille and replaced my screen. Also received my @Mr.PowerTrays Bussmann power tray to tidy up my wiring under the hood. Will have to wait a little to install it though but the tray looks great!

 

These little Weber chimneys really speed up the process.

Doesn't take coals long to get to inferno status.









Nothing more relaxing than kicking back with some good tunes on and something tasty cooking on the grill.

Damn now supernova !!!!



Super looking results.


Hellsyes !!!!!

 

Here's the only picture I have for now. The passenger side sits 3/4" higher at the rear.

 

What Roof rack and light is this. It’s exactly what I’m looking for.

 

Direct bolt on ? No chopping of sheet metal? Source? I love it!

 

Got rid of my crappy flexible under tailgate led brake strip and installed a triple row redline solid aluminum strip with sequential turn signals...such an upgrade sorry for the day pic...just the running light...way brighter when you hit the brakes/signals/backup

 

With my last charcoal grill, I made a chimney like that out of a big coffee can. They do get things going without lighter fluid, which is a huge bonus.

I keep thinking about a Weber kettle though.

 

What he said! That bumper looks real nice!

 

Thanks. Looks good, it will look great when you get the fronts installed.

 

That sounds interesting.


Would really like to see nighttime pics or vids of it in action.

I've got a couple of the Weber chimneys....a big 'un and a smaller version, which I use way more often.


Big'un:




Little Guy (way more useful):










Basic grill, smoker and etc. It's the American kamado grill. Every household should have one. Lightweight & portable and highly versatile for grilling, searing or slow rolling a smoke.

Local Walmarts discount them like crazy in the off-season which I find odd......every day off is grilling season around my house.

 

Got out of the swamp the week and was lucky enough to get some snow in CT.

 

Didn't do much to the Taco today besides admire how little chrome I have left on it (headlights/foglights), and measure the lift 3 weeks after getting it lifted to check for settling. So far so good- I am rocking a little over 2" up front and 2" in the rear on top of the stock lift. I'm sure going from 265's to 285's helped. The coil/strut combo was suppose to give me 2" and it has stayed true to that so I'm a happy camper! We will see how much the front drops after adding an aluminum skid plate. Ironically my truck didn't lower after adding sliders. These suckers weigh about 65lbs each! Love my F'n truck!! This thing delivers on the road and in the mountains!

 

265 70 17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W Standard Load 115T. 4Runner TRD Pro 17" wheels. Stock Suspension (for now). Got a 17" steel wheel off Amazon and a matching full size spare tire.

 

Im actually looking at getting something bigger. Like the ease of propane but most everyone recommends charcoal.

Impressive.

Ill look at some Webers. Thanks.

Ill check them out, thanks!

 

And the 2nd and 3rd gen "Tacoma" formed from where?

There's always one person who doesn't get the joke. Yesterday was April Fools Day. But if you wanna open a can of worms, here's the facts:

Width
1st Gen Tacoma : 70.3″
1st Gen T100 : 75.2"
2nd Gen "Tacoma" : 74.7"
3rd Gen "Tacoma" : 75.2"
1st Gen Tundra : 79.3"

Length
1st Gen Tacoma AC/DC : 202.9″
1st Gen T100 RCLB/AC : 209.1"
2nd Gen "Tacoma" AC/DCSB : 208.1"
3rd Gen "Tacoma" AC/DCSB : 212.3"
1st Gen Tundra : 218.3 to 230.1″

Curb Weight
1st Gen Tacoma : 2,750 to 3,705 lbs
1st gen T100 : 3,320 to 4,040 lbs
2nd Gen "Tacoma" : 3,550 to 4,220 lbs
3rd Gen "Tacoma" : 3,980 to 4,480 lbs
1st Gen Tundra : 3,935 to 5,020 lbs



Now you can be a sheeple and listen to what Wikipedia has to say, which is a source that isn't always correct (you can't even cite it in an essay) or you can review the data to see the obvious. Which is the 2nd gen and 3rd gen are in reality T100s, Toyota only used the Tacoma name plate for marketing.

 

Sounds like a RecTec pellet grill is exactly what you want, then.



The ease of a gas grill.....truly set it and forget it on long smokes like ribs and brisket. Hardwood smoke flavor that can’t be improved upon.

 

Will look into it, thanks Dub!

Anyone know where I can get some trd wheel center caps? Toyota website is of course overpriced

 

Props to you for spotting that
I'm OCD About cable management so when I fabricated my rack I welded in 1/2"X 1/2" square tube for all the wires to get routed down. Helps hide them, but more important they can't get easily snagged when loading/removing stuff from the roof. Here's a better angle
