What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Seriously, has there ever been a Tacoma World calendar? That is an interesting idea.

 

I agree. I need a new one for the garage.

 

yes. there are TRD lugs but they're made by mcgard.

You can get any small spline lugs of your choosing though. just get that type.

 

Yes... bought two this year. Hopefully they’ll do it again next year...

 

The unicorn floatie really makes that first photo. Dog with goggles was pretty cool, too.

edit>

Dogs with goggles AND hearing protection.

"Are we cool or what?... We're going to get ALL the bitches!"

 

holy crap! $173 for lugs!

here are the rims.



you don't think the lugs off my original lugs off my trd OR rims will work?

 

Haha... I know. Great picture. That is @jberry813 BTW...

 

My bad. I am a newb.

 

No worries. Keep an eye out near the end of the year. They usually have a photo contest for people that want to get their trucks featured in the calendar. They should have another one in the fall sometime for the 2019 calendar.

 

nope. You can just eyeball and tell it's a totally different nut.

You can get a cheaper no name or non toyota brand set for much less especially if you don't want the locks.

my old set up...

 

Plenty of options out there without going to a Stealership. Bakflip MX4 is what I went with. Fast, very easy install, numerous vids on YouTube. Explore the possibilities before getting raked over by the dealership. You will save a lot of money for very little effort.

 

Hondo Garage has them for about the same price. They work great. And they are no rust aluminium.

 

So the dealer re flashed the trans, oil change, tire rotation, checked the wiper blades and whatever else the 10k check entails. I told them the wiper blades were starting to come apart from the channel.
They also said everything was great and or replaced..... I don’t think so
So now tomorrow I need to go back and have them replaced.....( I hope)

 

Don't believe wipers are covered under warranty. These are a "wear" item that you are responsible for replacing yourself. There are several aftermarket wipers that are better than OEM anyway.

 

Can’t wait to see how it’ll look with some 285s

 

When I bought my first 3rd gen half the trucks on the lot had the OEM covers..

When I bought my 3rd 3rd gen not a single truck had one. I asked the sales lady and she said they were just too expensive and they couldn't profit off them when they're are other covers, better covers, on the market for much cheaper...


I just picked up a backflip g2 last night for 500. In excellent shape. Really diggin it so far. Just need to see how water tight it is, but I love the look.

Congrats! Bet it will look great!

I'm running 265 75 16 wildpeaks currently... and they are still in excellent shape... but once I wear them down I'm thinking either 285/75/16 OR 255/85/16... just not many options in the 255/85

Just put the 3/1 kit on yesterday and need to do some research... really don't want to have to use those wheel spacers... and don't want to change rims... I'm not sure if either, or which, will work without spacers and not rub at all...

 

Since I’ve been rehabbing some back/hip injuries, my buddy who owns the local 4x4 shop I frequent helped me out by installing my aluminum Pelfreybilt skid plates and my Front Runner Cab Rack. While it was there he got me a proper alignment too. The truck has never driven better.

 

Go to the Home Page And Scroll Down and there’re for sale along with TW Decals.

You may be onto something there...
Ask all the willing ladies on the forum to pose and send the pictures (all dressed and decent, with a taco against a nice background) for a TW calendar.

 

Is that alignment after a lift? Is that still good enough to not cause problems?

I had my lift installed yesterday and had the alignment done... I was concerned about the one out of spec on mine but the guy said after a lift this actually wasn't bad at all... still not sure if that is true or that's just as good as they felt like getting it..
