What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I found a NICE fully loaded 2017 being sold by a private party that had an accident on its record from being backed into. It was significantly cheaper than anything else (even fully loaded) and I was incredibly interested...But it was sold by the time I saw it and reached out. I'm a big proponent to the "if you can prove the damage isn't bad, then get it" kind of thought. So I think you got a good buy.

 

On the first page of this thread (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/anyone-have-the-ajt-vent-and-control-knob-rings.630899/) towards the bottom there is one from Amazon. I ordered that one and it looks OK but its not a tight fit.

I think AJT will start pre-orders soon for the start and maybe the 4X4 knob as well or it could just be the start button. I noticed the announce these things on social media so its worth following them.

 

yeah, Meso might also come out with some stuff for this. I ordered that same Amazon one, 5 weeks and still waiting on it from China. Says next week to be delivered

 

Finally got the deal I was after on a 2019 White DCLB TRD Offroad. Super excited to finally have a new truck.

 

boom! Congrats!

 

Congrats, hella stoked for you.

 

Congrats and welcome to the TW herd!

 

Anyone else notice posts disappearing? I could swear @LarsonFan made a post a short while ago, and now it's gone. Not the first time I've seen this.

 

I was hoping to find a metal cover for the button itself. Mercedes' push buttons are made of aluminum I think, and I've seen like 5-6 year old MBs and it still looks nice. Even with women's long a$$ nails stabbing it every day.

 

I have a habit of making a post then posting it. Then I delete it because it is not important or I feel like it will start a shit storm.

 

same! sometimes there's whiskey involved.

 

The one listed from Amazon in the thread is a metal overlay.

There are a couple of overlay options on eBay and Amazon that are aluminum but the fit might be questionable.

Here is one on eBay that has Tacoma in the heading but the site where materials are listed doesn't list it.

Black Keyless Engine Push Start

 

Ah. Okay, never mind...

 

I have 72 months. Not because i couldn't afford 48. But my monthly exposure is nothing. I pay huge chunks with my yearly bonus. I will be paid off in three years hopefully. But if i ever get seriously ill and miss a long period of work again or get laid off i will still be rolling in the Tacoma. Same with my house. 30 year mortgage. Could have done 20. Pay the extra so either way it's paid off in 20. But my exposure is much less. And i have the extra cash every month for savings or trips or..... Mods!

Do right by you @Txsrooster.

 

Friends don't let friends drunk taco. If your going to pick up a glass put down the phone.

 

No, it comes with one and has one built into the front of the screen. It works pretty well from my experience so far.

 

So, at 7AM this morning I took my '18 ACLB in for the 12 month/10K (5,025 actual) mile ToyotaCare (ToyotaDoesn'tCare?) service. I waited around, and happily, it took less than 2 hours. After they were done, the Customer Service lady tells me that they changed the oil and filter, rotated the tires, and checked all of the things that they were supposed to check, and that It was ready to go. I explained that when I made the appointment, I asked that the oil NOT be changed because I had had it done at the 6 month/5000 (2200 actual) mile service. She explained that the oil change was free so it didn't matter. I explained that it did matter, because they had used up one of my "free" oil changes. She said, "No problem, I'll add another free oil change to the notes on your service record". I can't complain about that.

 

Congrats....

 

Forgot to mention: I stopped at the Parts Department just to check on how much a liter of the rear diff fluid was. (No, I'm not planning on changing the Diff fluid yet.) The Parts Man looked it up, and told me that the LF Diff fluid for my truck was $85 a liter. (I have the regular 4WD, non-limited slip, non-locker.) I said that "that is kind of expensive". He agreed, and that the Diff fluid for the Limited Slip was bad enough at $39, and was surprised that mine was over double that.

 

Most likely will need CMC if you want to go bigger than 3.3" tires.

Joking aside, looks awesome.
