What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Welcome to TW! What’s a TRD- OF?

 

No but his payload capacity went up about 2 pounds!!!!

 

Ahh, chivalry! You been spying on me haven't ya?

 

Old Fart?
Wide white walls, fuzzy dice and a hula girl on the dash.
And a St. Christopher medal on the visor. Guilty on the St. Christopher medal and I make no apologies for it.

 

Gladious.... Sounds a group of cajuns saying glad it's us.

 

lol I couldn’t see you with those camo shorts if I tried.

 

Probably from the kids trying to escape after he abducts them from the playground.
Once that candy runs out they always seem to want to leave?!

 

Welcome to the herd!

Nice. Been debating these or trd pro...

 

Or cut your nails Bob.

 

Thank you! It's been a journey for sure. Can't wait to get the swingout bumper worked out.

 

Where did you get those three color inserts for the grill? Looks rad.

Edit: now that I look at it again i think you just painted them, correct?

 

One thing I use is Meguire’s Cleaner wax to get rid of junk, bug guts, small scratches. If that doesn’t work then I use the Scratch X. I always follow up with McGuire’s carnuba wax. I’m sure there is better stuff, but that’s what works for me.
I know what you mean about kids around vehicles. My sisters kids were the worst about riding bikes by the cars. Of course I had to be the mean uncle and fuss at them to get away when riding a bike. My sister was like, well it’s just a car, truck, etc. Then when she started getting luxury vehicles, that changed everything. Funny how when your stuff is nice you worry more about it.

 

Work with cintered carbide every day, if my nails were any shorter I'd bleed to death!
Only way to keep them clean is to keep them Uber short.

 

I’ve only tried the clay bar once and half way thru doing the hood, I dropped it on the ground. Threw it away. Too much trash in it. We have 4 vehicles at home and 3 of them are kept under a carport or garage most of the time. My truck spends half it’s life at the airport so I try to keep a good wax job on it. I’m sure in the 6 months I’ve owned it, there has been plenty of fallout landing on it. Maybe when it gets a little cooler, I’ll give it a shot again.

 

Ha, ha, ha...Wife and 2 daughters with fancy nails. I guess I could make them where gloves? I try to open the door for the wife every time we go somewhere. I guess you could say I’m being a gentleman, but I am also protecting my investments. I make sure the wife’s new vehicle is taken care of too. The two girls cars are a different story. I’ll wash and maintain it, but it only gets wax once every 6 months.
