What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Found that my brakes like to freeze on....

 

DAAAMMNNN!!!

 

Before:


After:


Switched out stock wheels for matte black TRD Pro Wheels (

$279 PTR2035110BK Toyota 2010-2024 4runner TRD 17" Matte Black Wheel PTR20-35110-BK

PTR2035110BK)!

 

I had to put it in 4 wheel low just to break it loose. Im guessing that some water from the car wash got into the drums and froze. Ill have to do some more driving around after I wash the car to clear it out.

Also, I put on the parking brake in my driveway, so the pads freeze solid to the drums.

 

I've had this happen to my old Tundra on several occasions, very similar night time parking setup to you. I would have to give it a decent amount of gas and it would break free with a very very loud noise.

Glad to know this happens to 3rd gen Tacoma's as well. Will have to be careful.

 

Well not today, but last Friday I replaced the fog light bulbs with some PIAA yellow H16. So far I think PIAA is over rated nowadays, but anyways so far works good, got some morning fog this weekend and I liked the results, FYI if you want yellow fog lights for looks, better get a yellow housing, because unless the lights are on, theres no way you can tell there is a yellow bulb.

 

Tires?

 

Today I cleaned up the engine bay a bit. Not dirty just dusty. Dont know if it's just mine but the engine bay seems to get quite dusty compared to other vehicles I had.

 

How does your truck handle with the added weight of those beautiful ST Maxx's?

Love those tires.

 

Awesome.


I'm somewhere around 13K in mine and am enjoying the ruck more and more every time I hop in the cab.


Thankfully you didn't take the pic showing 30mph on the speedo.......some self-righteous azzhat would bumrush you on here and scathe you for being wreckless.

Here's to many more fun miles of smiles for all of us !!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just stock until they are ready to be replaced!

 

I took one going 55 and skated past the azzhats. He must have been off duty that day.

 

This truck NEEDS MESO ultimate blinkers

 

Me too! Press voice command on the steering wheel and you're good to go.

 

I hear ya.

I think I just caught the tail end of the drama. Funny stuff.

 

Pop & lock install

 

Today I installed a Tekonsha P3 trailer brake controller in my dash using the mounting kit from ESP Truck Accessories. Haven't tried the controller yet but the installation could not have been any easier. ESP enclosed detailed instructions which made it very easy. Thanks Earl.

 

Probably.

 

Mounted up the 265/75/16 Falken Wildpeak AT3s!

 

Looks like you had a good time! Which black lock lugs did you go with?
