What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The logo is a separate piece, so I’m painting that on its own. However, I think I’ll just go find some grey enamel just to be safe. Although I kinda like the idea of red too.

 

One day you'll retire little grashopper, then you will understand.

Some of us are just OLD.

My 2017 bought in mid March 2017 had just over 30K on the clock now. It is my DD and I work 5 days a week. I have also taken several road trips, within the state, each year.

*** my commute is 17 miles each way.

 

Sounds like you need an ejection seat!

 

I forgot how taxing painting is, especially when you’re flipping 1/4 inch steel lol.

 

Mine was purchased in feb 2016 . I now have 93k on it with 33’s front bumper ,rear with swing out and sliders . All steel with a winch . I was driving it five days a week for work and on the weekends for fun though . From Georgia to San Diego. Down to Florida and up to Michigan. I even shipped it to a deserted island to camp on for four days . I love it.

I had to buy another car a year ago to keep miles off of it.

 

Yep, going in for my second 12 month Toyota care oil change tomorrow with 12K miles on the Taco. That includes two 1K roundtrips to Houston.

Actually just threw a car cover over it today after a thorough post-beach wash. Garage is full with two other cars, so the Taco sits on a parking pad under an oak tree. Didn't really want to get a cover, but the crap that falls out of the tree, especially after the almost daily afternoon shower, leaves it a total mess.

Oh, and I ordered my MESO TRD red start button today.

 

Well my AAL bracket came pre tapped for the screw. The passengers side is still all well and good, no issues.

 

say what? what island? what shipping service haha?

My last workday before retirement is tomorrow - 2d and final retirement is effective July 1st. One more Board of Trustees meeting to conduct, pass the budget for the coming year, get the necessary Board motions for the new president and leadership team and my tenure will be pretty much in the books. I had my last leadership cabinet meeting today at the College - haven't met in person since Mid-March so it was great to "see" everyone in person (except one who's wife is weeks away from having a baby so we didn't want to chance bringing him in - he's on the computer). I will miss these Rock Stars.




Oh, and I'm at 1485 miles on my 2020 Pro - due for its first 6 month service next month. Hopefully, I'll be driving it more once I retire and it becomes my daily driver.

Don’t . You can do it too . Well as long as you have 4wd . When I was a kid my dad , stepmom and I camped all over the place from our home in Huntington Beach to Oklahoma and back in a vw microbus . It really got me into it . Now the wife ,my two sons and I have been doing the same . I wanted to give them the experience.
