What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It’s auto

 

Thanks for the esplination!

There's nothing like the old Gen 1 and Gen 2 steel bumpers!

As far as skids, See my post here. I'm leaning towards M.O.R.E. off road as seen here because I like their alignment tab protection....

 

Just curious, before this truck have you ever had BSM on another vehicle? "IF" not, why bother? Just asking. I bought the FabFours rear bumper that eliminated the BSM and it really doesn't bother me. I always look before changing lanes or backing up, using all the mirrors and turning my head too. I found that if I (and I always do) use my turn single that make me look all over the place. Why F. U. the bumper? Just my opinion.

 

Maybe transfer to, Hickam Air Force Base? 120 degrees warmer! -40/+80?

 

What length is the bar?

 

BSM helps quite a bit when I'm backing out of my fenced-in driveway. The BSM alerts for cross traffic before I can even turn my head to check!

Technology is moving at the slowest pace it will ever move from here on out. IMO, why not use all the safety features of a $40k truck? Someone is already trying to build the BSM into the Tacoma tail lights like the Jeeps have. I like Innovation! Just like Big Mike's RCLT!

 

That's all good but you did not answer my question "Just curious, before this truck have you ever had BSM on another vehicle?"

 

I tried to avoid that! No, but I almost got into an accident in a mall parking lot. Since then, I thought, why not try it out? Front Airbags have helped save the lives of over 50k people since 1987. I'm sure BSM will save some too...

 

Unless you have Tacata air bags! Ha. LoL. Also, you mentioned that tech is moving slow? So who is to say that they got it right?

 

Added vent rings from ajtdesigns

 

Got my @CaliRaisedLed bumper light bar and ditch lights installed this past weekend!

Also took the opportunity to throw on my @MESO customs stage 2 taillights

 

As soon as you said those temps, I knew you had to be in Fairbanks. It's beautiful, but the winters are beyond harsh and it will take some time getting used to 3-4 hours of moderate sunlight during winters. But to offset that, the summers are very warm (80s) with nearly 24 hours of sun. Take the good with the bad.

 

They have a manual just like it and it is 2WD and 43,000 miles. Knee is shot. Can no longer drive a manual.

For what it’s worth.... I think the technology is dumbing us down; BSM, Parking Assist!? I turned off everything I could; the backup camera is more than enough assistance for me. Besides what will happen when someone who is reliant on this technology experiences a system failure? Just my .02.

 

Maybe try backing into your driveway so your moving forward when leaving. I always back in when parking (whenever possible); much safer IMHO. Just a thought.

 

Lane assist just is not useful. Squawking at line curves etc. Shut that shit down.

I like the backup camera in my Truck. Especially at night with bright LEDs. Watch all the bears, rabbits, raccoons, snakes, possums scurrying away.

 

Exactly. The cruse control is nice though. 80mph here and far too many people doing 70.

 

Yass! I love my stage 2. I also added amber decals from import equipment

 

Do you need spacers to run that size? Just placed an order myself with stock OR wheels and don't have spacers yet. Wondering if I need to get a set of those
