What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Or old farts....I am one.

 

Kidding!

 

I bet it does. Glad you hung onto it.

 

New shoes, and the obligatory American flag magnet.... cause I’m a patriot.....

 

Charter member myself.
Wish they'd ship my damn rear bumper. Hate driving get a broken Tacoma!
Anyone here dealt with Midwest Aftermarket before? Not very happy. About ready to contact @FabFours to see if they can get them off the pot.

 

Works for me!
Welcome to TW Bud.

 

Appreciate it!

 

used mine to get us up to Tahoe this weekend for "my birthday weekend" and i surprised her and popped the question... she said YES

 

No fancy new parts, just washed it up real nice.

 

Congratulations on both your engagement and your nice looking Tacoma.
You done good on both counts!

 

Finally bought the wheels I've wanted! Also went with some new tires as well.
KO2 265/70r17

 

Hey Sorry for super late reply, been out of the country for the month of September. So here is the quick answer:
Yes it was rubbing.

long answer:
It rubs when moving in reverse, just before full lock(At full lock it clears, oddly enough)

Solution:
you will need to cut some plastic and also perform a Body mount chop. I have just done the Chop but I haven't welded some plate on it yet. I went ahead and sprayed it with primer and paint to avoid any rust developing. Once i get the plate i will grind off the paint and finish the job.

considerations:
If i would have just done the lift and kept the original wheels and gone with a 285/75r16 tire I most likely could have avoided the Body mount chop.
or
If i still went with these wheel (17x9 -12 backspacing) but used a smaller tire say 275s or even the original 265s, I would have significantly reduced any trimming to possibly none at all.

 

Looking good Ryan!

 

Today, I exercised the nuclear option on the spider living in my driver's side mirror.

I didn't want to have to do it. Every morning, I'd come out to a web running from the mirror, over the window, and to the window frame. Every morning I would knock it down figuring the spider would eventually get the idea there were easier places to catch a meal. But noooooooooooo...

 

It's a bittersweet victory! Now instead of the spider you get the bugs that he was eating.

All the critiers are prepping for winter and looking for someplace to weather the storm. Mouse invasion will start shortly. Three words.........., Pure Peppermint Oil. Ordering my Now Foods Peppermint Oil from Amazon now to get ahead of the curve. Buy the quart!

 

Same downstate also. Every year about this time up until winter we have to deal with them. Another reason I do not have window vent visors on my truck. They love to hang out under those and wait for you to crack your window so they can build webs in your truck.

 

Which is why, so far, I've left the house centipede that hangs around my kitchen sink alone.

 

We are going to Tennessee in 2-weeks to the Pigeon Forge area ... i have been all over including Foothills Parkway, Townsend etc but we have never been to Deals Gap .. will have to check that out. Thanks

 

Hell Yeahh 'Merica

 

Ah man! What was she thinking!?!?

Kidding of coarse. Congrats. 16 days until my wedding. She is a toyota girl. Only owned a4 runner and a yaris her whole life. Gotta be a good one based on that info right?

And she can hold her own in a paint brush sword fight!
