What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Where did you get these? I plan on getting two just like them. Also, if you are interested in my OEM Front Tow Hook, ill sell it to you for $50 shipped.

 

Seat covers finally came in! Worth the month long wait

 

Thanks! These are are Fia Wranglers, my dad has them in his 2001 prerunner. Who would have thought the nostalgia value Tacoma's can bring. I got them on Amazon (link to back) (link to front covers).

 

I just ordered from Amazon. Prices were the same on the Gator-Jaw website. They also have a couple stronger versions. I'm planning on running the lower cowl thru the winter. I'm sure I'll kick myself for not getting the hook now, but I'm still not sure what I want to do up front. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I checked the manual it's a tow hook like the more traditional version on the Off-Road. The manual doesn't really distinguish between the two. Both are used for emergency towing, which may be different then recovery. Thanks again!

 

I have to be honest, those look really cool.

 

These look great. How is the fit, and we're they a PITA to install?

 

For the most part, I do not disagree with your statements. The point that was being made was that dealerships are in business to make money. A lot of people complaining about “stealerships” on here. Whether it’s for service or trade in values. It’s a business with a lot of overhead and expenses. No gimmicks, just business.

 

It is a bit of a wait but will be well worth our waits. I could have put these to good use 2 weeks ago when we were in Crested Butte, CO.

 

Installed some 4Runner wheels on my SR5. Brand new! people like to put the TRD wheels on their 4Runners so I was able to pick these up for cheap!

 

Busy Week! *WOOHOO*
Monday: OME 2" lift
Tuesday: Front window tint to match back
Wednesday: Bedmat, rolling toolbox and Weathertech front mats.

Next up are some tires (probably KO2s). I'm thinking 265/75R16 or 275/70R16... Any thoughts out there? Width vs. height?

We’re twins!

 

I have the fronts and can’t wait to install

 

How does this philosophy work for Carmax and their one price, no negotiation model? Which by the way, own the used car market. Other dealerships advertise a price and consumers still have the desire negotiate. Much like buying a house. The buyers make offers even though there is an asking price. That is what dictates the market, what people are willing to pay. There are also new cars that bring $30k over MSRP because of limited availability. Again, the point that was originally being made was missed. Dealerships are in the business to make money, like any other business. They can’t accomplish that by paying sentimental for a vehicle and then sell at cost.

 

I like the flags on our Tacos. Been seeing a lot more of them on local 3rd Gens, too.

 

Nothing says TRUCK like those cool covers.

They are very classic looking. I like 'em.

 

Looks good, great choice.

 

What number Fumoto Valve did you use? Thanks.

 

Totally agree! Everyone has to make a buck!

 

Installed Rugged liner hard tri fold bed cover. Gotta say I like the BakFlip locking and unlock design better which I have on my 2011 Ram but got a killer deal on Craigslist so not complaining too much..
