What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks nice. How satisfied are you with it and how was the install? How is the light output? I see where you have the side rails on the inside of the brackets but the pics I see on their website show them on the outside of the brackets for a cleaner look. Is there any reason for that? I'm interested in getting a roof rack and like the price of this one. For the next 6 days they have it listed for 42% off. Regular price $429.99 now $249.99.

 

So I’ve announced it on a few other threads but here’s the big one...yesterday my girl had an emergency c section and brought our little baby girl Scarlett Aurora into this world 11 1/2 weeks early. She is beautiful and her and mom are doing great. With that being said...the taco still has its priorities even from the recovery room.

 

My daughter was born the same, 11 weeks early. It was a rough couple of months waiting to bring her home. She is as smart as ever with no Ill effects. I wish the same for you and your daughter.

Congrats

 

Congrats, now that's a birth day.

 

wow! Tiny little princess there! Glad that you all are doing fine. Congratulations again. That’s a beautiful baby girl!

 

Congratulations, so glad everyone is doing well.

Pulled off my Pro grille and fogs for winter. (sad trombone).

EDIT: Still need to pull my roll bar, put back my tonneau and swap my snows on, but it's progress.

 

Curious, and not being a dick. Why?

 

Congrats. I hope she and the wife get to come home soon.

 

Why wouldn't you leave the fogs in for the winter? Would they not work well in a snow storm?

 

How easily did it come off the airbag?

 

Congrats!! So tiny, but so beautiful!

 

I figure if I catch a block of ice or something otherwise it saves a crack or other damage.

Having been in a bunch of not-at-fault accidents as of late, the last thing I want it to have something hit me and then have to fight insurance to replace my Pro parts with OEM Pro parts and not just regular OEM.

The OEM fogs work fine for what I need for the winter.

 

Redneck 4” pipe bumper will take care of others hitting you.

 

My ARB saved my bacon last time when the guy crossed the center line and hit my 2013, but it took the frame out in the process. Granted even without it I likely would have still needed a frame.

 

Installed the KC Cyclone under hood lights today. They offer a ton of light and look to be very well built. A couple pluses as I found some rubber compression nuts that could fit the factory holes in the hood, also found a factory spot for the switch. Sorting the wire took a lot longer than I anticipated, but very please with the product.

 

First post!
Changed my rear diff fluid today at 6000 miles. redline 75w85. Next up, transmission and front diff. Any leads on a suitable substitute for the oem 75 weight transfer case oil? Dealer wants like $80.

 

Congrats. 11 1/2 weeks early! That's amazing! Glad all the of you are good.

 

I started working on fixing the broken tabs on some headlights purchased here that broke in transit. This was my first time attempting this sort of thing but I think it's coming along nicely, albeit, SLOWLY. Still need some reinforcement perhaps, and back to sanding to make it pretty, more work to be done, then onto the second headlight.

Hopefully it's strong enough for just holding the light in place.

 

I went and ordered it to the Dealership this AM. My Tacoma adventure continues as my 2008 Tacoma has 244,000 miles on it and it will get traded in for the new one. Not real crazy about the new oil filter arrangement but I am getting to the point where I may just let the dealership do that from now on. I changed the oil in my 2008 personally some 40+ times since new. Someone will get a sweet truck that has had TLC. It'll take 2 months to get the 2020 model so I get a nice Christmas present this year.
