What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yep, 90% of my heat is from wood. Saves me over

$28 200mo Gator Grip the Original Universal Socket 3PC Kit. Made in the USA. Self-Adjusts for shape and size as well as Standard and Metric application

200mo in the winter. Can't beat $10 cord U-cut wood. Lol

 

new wheels, 16x8 Mickey Thompson Sidebiter II ..

 

Some will claim that you get better performance and MPG with HOT but these trucks only require MILD.
Also, there is no such thing as MEDIUM as it is blended at the pump between HOT and MILD

 

Well, even with a backup camera and sonar sensors I still managed to back into a concrete post leaving work. Rushing out after a 12hr day and didn’t look. So pissed at myself.

 

That sucks, did that to my 1st gen. Self inflicted wounds.

 

A costly mistake for sure but no one was hurt and no frame damage. Much much better than a little one on a tricycle. You can almost always find the bright side in any adversity it's just all in how you look at it.
But yeah, it sucks!
It's all part of being human, we ain't perfect!

 

That sucks, but lesson learned and you’ll be getting a quick education on how to replace the light and fender cap on your own!

 

Yep, better I did it and not my wife haha.

I wish, probably going to cost about a grand to paint the area.

First time in 20+ years of driving ive done this and of course I do it to my brand new truck

Actually the cap will get painted, they don't sell painted bumper caps so its just going to have to be repainted.

 

Mine does the same thing. Haven't used it since I bought the truck but just went in the garage and tried it out. Never owned an automobile that operated like that before. Usually can control all of the windows as the driver even with the window lock activated. Very disappointed it works that way.

 

I do not understand why that would even work that way. I wish that was a setting.

 

Im due for a re-spray of Bed liner too, damn rock chips! Either that or a Chinese pro Grille.

 

That's exactly what I was between. I resprayed it and it looks great but I don't think I'll respray it after this. Next time it'll be ebay pro grill.

Better to chip up the grill than your windshield! That's why I tailgate people. So their rocks dont have a chance of hitting my glass. Lol

 

Funny that you mentioned it. I recently got my windshield replaced due to a 2inch chip. Something came out of nowhere on the highway. I had a ton of little chips here and there, it was $100 at a local shop. New glass didn’t have the go pro attachment, but I took it off the old one. It’s not like if I use it anyway.

 

Wife's prius got destroyed by a rock the other day and cracked immediately as she continued to drive home. I think Toyota got their windshields from a child labor facility. Only explanation that makes sense.

 

Is that basically from one side to the next? It looks like there is some space on both sides. I was about to get a 60” and just cut it down to the exact length

 

There’s some space on each side a couple inches. I’d just get the 48” it’s cheaper and you don’t have to cut it. Don’t forget the mounting hardware which is sold seperately.

 

Me too. May have to ask the dealer about that at my next service visit.
