What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ordered my Blizzaks. Getting installed on the 13th. Good thing I'm getting them after our first decent storm... ugh.

 

Very good choice for our winters! Just be sure not to leave them on very long come Spring. Very soft rubber, they'll wear quickly in warm weather.

 

Yes, I'm going to try and get them off as early as I can. Probably March-ish. Of course we may get a rogue storm or two in April but I probably will just go with my all-season for those. Trying to take care of the ol' Taco and it's accessories.

 

Added Spidertrax 1.25” and BFG Mud Terrain 265/75/R16. No rubbing (incl. while off roading) w/o Spidertrax. Once spcers were on front mud flaps had to go. Haven’t off roaded with the spacers yet.

 

Added Drone Mobile to my Autostart and love it!!

Windows also tinted.. Now enjoying a Guinness at my favorite pub.

 

I was a little concerned about that....I used two bolts instead of one hoping it would spread the load a little. If it does vibrate I may stick a piece of rubber block or corded hose at the bottom. Make some kind of bushing.....Its really sturdy though. I pushed and pulled on it pretty good and it doesnt flex really at all. I could stick something down there though for sure. Ive got some spring bushings , lol. I may stick one of those behind each one with a small 10-24 bolt

 

Are there any existing screws you could make use of? I see the Cali Raised side molle panels use 2 of the upper screws for the cubbies.

 

No arb compressor but it fits perfectly back behind rear passenger seat and it’s $120. Craftsman lithium ion air compressor

 

I could be persuaded if this develops...

 

Looks good from here. I concur with the R/W/B option, but the matte looks good too!

 

My OCD wouldn't let me do this... Back in the day If you liked 2 sets of wheels and couldn't decide in the import crowd, they used to put 2 different wheels on a car, one set on the left one on the right... I couldn't do it... O....C....D.... I am getting a headache even thinking about it.

 

Seems like a great way to do a meet-n-greet. There are something like a half dozen distilleries in Nelson county alone. Maybe more.

 

Good thing, we're staying at your place.

 

@SCJeffro

Nah, you don't really have OCD, you just think that you do.

If you REALLY had OCD you'd be spelling it properly.

 

Finally ordered a new suspension for my '17 Taco DCLB! Ironman 4X4 had a pretty good deal for black friday at $899 for the full kit, I couldn't resist. Planning on installing it mid-December, but I have a question if anyone could shine some light. Do I NEED to change my UCA with the new suspension? I mainly commute with my truck and once in awhile (every other month or so) when I have time, I'll go hit some light trails. So with that in mind, would I be fine just keeping my stock UCA with the new suspension? Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving y'all.

 

You better hope my RTT is on by then!

 

Just daily driving it.

It does not make up for the lack of torque, but it does make the truck easier to drive... meaning that I don't have to stroke the pedal to the floor every few minutes to get it moving.

I only use about the first 1" of pedal travel now... which also makes it feel like it downshifts alot sooner/more frequently.

After having it in a few weeks... I'm still happy with it... but havent changed my opinion that Toyota screwed up royally with this clusterfuck mismatch of engine and trans combination.

Once I have ample equity in it, I will trade it for something I actually enjoy driving again.

 

I don't notice any difference... as I dont use ECO mode. The truck is enough of a pig as it is.

I prefer the better gas pedal feel with less input from my right foot.

 

Thanks. Appreciate it. I'm still on the fence. LOL

 

I just installed my n2 remote start, took all of 10 minutes and you only need to remove 1 panel around the steering wheel. It might of been easier to remove the knee panel, but it was just fine with only the steering wheel trim panel.
