What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I purchased the Yakima Long Arm Truck Bed Load Extender for the same type of setup except this extender also tilts up even with my diamondback Tonneau cover. Enables me to carry wood on the Tonneau when the bed is full. I have probably over loaded on occasions!!

 

this is the SR

 

Premium audio upgrade ... just the tweeters, sound improvement is so good that I will add the door speakers soon.

 

Too rich for my blood.

Thanks, I just left him (Jeff) a message.

 

18k service tomorrow tomorrow.. list of shit I'm going to make them do (i will check myself, already know they're notorious for saying they did something and not doing it or taking short cuts)

-trans/diff fluid (should I just make them change it?)
-Lube prop shaft
-Brakes, oil, etc..

Any other suggestions?

 

Do T-SB update. A/C blower recall. Lane change blinks. Seatbelt chimes.

 

Changed my Startup and Screen Off Images.

I had to get the Carista App to do the lane change blinks and seatbelt chime off myself. Dealer said blinks couldn't be done due to the BSM.

 

Did TSB a few months ago, A/C is scheduled to be done as well (was waiting on parts). Not sure what lane change blinks is?? Can they turn off the seatbelt chime?!



Thanks

 

Lane change blinks are when you light tap the blinker to change lanes vs. locking blinker in place. Default is 3 blinks, it can be set up to 7.
They can turn the seatbelt chime off, however, many will not do it. They state some liability issue, but it is clearly in the manual under customizable features, so Toyota engineers are o.k. with it.
Carista App with a bluetooth OBD II adapter can do all that plus some.

 

I become a member of the Gasshole cult.

 

Flew down here to Melbourne FL for a few days of relaxation at the condo. Seems to be plenty of 3rd gen tacos in this area.

 

Go Irish!

 

Was in Naples/Bonita Springs area Thurs thru Sun and saw quite a few down there myself. Must be popular on both east and west coast of Fl. Not as many as I see on a normal day though in Ga. They are everywhere here.

 

This will be my first winter driving a Tacoma. Has anyone come up with creative ways to add weight to the back when driving in the snow?

Juzt ordered a. Set of matte black wheels . They go on this Friday. What sort of problems do you have?

 

Get sand bags/cat litter/quickcrete.

 

Shovel the bed full of snow.

 

Tube sand, comes in 60 and 70 lb tubes at the hardware store. Pretty cheap, I usually buy 3-4 bags. Stored in the garage, they will last 2 years, then the bag dries out and starts tearing. I even used it once to sand the road going up an icy hill.
