What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Has any of you had any issues with your gas door hinge acting like it’s been bent and now rubbing when you open it?

 

Needed to buy new tires for wife’s 4Runner so decided to transfer the 1-yr old KO2 on Tacoma to 4Runner and use this “Opportunity” to upgrade the Tacoma to 285.

 

No problem here. I guess the obvious question is does anyone other than yourself do the refueling?
I guess a station attendant could have either backed into or rested their arm on it with the door open. I can't think of another situation where this would occur.

 

Ahaa!!! That's using your head for more than a hat rack!

 

My o5 did this, my09 did it, and 2016 all had the same problem. And I don't think I have ever had some else pump my gas! ever! and I'm 50?????
And no, I don’t believe it is anything that I’m doing

 

Being 50yrs old, there had to be a few full service gas stations around when you started driving? I always avoided them. The one time, about 20yrs ago, that a self serve station hired some cute ladies to pump gas for tips, I tried to wave her off. She already opened filler door when I walked into it. Thankfully, she just quietly sulked away.

That is an odd problem that you are having. Could it be possible that someone is trying to steal your fuel?

 

You got me. Never had that problem with the '06, '11, or with my current 2017. I've never even heard of that particular issue until now. Maybe someone else can shed some light on the subject. Only explanation that I could think of was the one that I offered. Just a suggestion on my part.
Hope you find a reason as well as a solution to the problem. Wish you luck.
Oh and I hear you on pumping your gas. If I pull into a station with an attendant and they don't allow me to pump my own gas I move on.

 

I don’t see how you guys can stand hauling around 400-600 lbs of extra shit all the time with your loaded trucks. I had 500lbs of mulch in the back of mine for a week and it felt like a slug. I finally got my girlfriend to unload it! Lol With it empty is sooooo much better !

 

50 yrs. Old? You're still a puppy in my book!
Wish I was 50 again!!

 

Who drives around with 500lbs of mulch for a week ?

 

Well, the KO2s has about 80% tread remaining... i see it as a Win Win situation! Haha

 

Oh gawd, not yet. I turned 45 in February.

So yeah, the puppy jokes still apply. Although given the lifespans in my family, I should be moving on to whatever that aging chow is now adays.

 

Rides like a dream though with weight in the back, right? Just slow!

 

Don't go there, nothing that's good for you tastes good. Just eat good tasting food in moderation and avoid looking at Gregs grilling antics. I swear I gain weight just looking at his cooking!

But it looks sooooo good!

 

Too true. I like to eat just about everything. That helps keep the good and bad in balance.

Dub has some tasty food pics. My stomach growls when I see them. Worse is that I've been thinking about a getting back to a charcoal grill for years now. Another TW mod problem.

 

Yupa little less power, not sure if that matters, but it’s the only truly wireless one I’ve seen.

 

nice choice. really liking my Wildpeaks

 

Along with my smoker I also use a "park style" grill. I'm a charcoal starter and grill guy all the way! No charcoal lighter fluid ever and I mean never!! The really neat thing about the park style grill is that Northern Tool makes a pedastal mount that fits the receiver hitch on my Taco. That way I get to use the same grill both at home and on the go.
Works out great when hunting, fishing and camping. Love the thing. A cheaper and in my opinion a more practical solution to the tire carrier grill combo you see on some rigs.

 

Great idea. Thanks!

Those look easy to clean out and keep in good shape.

 

haha, i replaced it with a fabfours offroad bumper looooong time ago my friend. the chrome plastic POS is just collecting dust.
