What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

that looks so good

 

@borefour thanks.

 

My clazzios and some MESO interiors stuff showed up today.

 

Just released. Same part # as 2016 - 2018. Installed with no issues and is dead nuts accurate.

The Taco Truck is molded into plastic behind the dash/instrument cluster.

 

Thanks!

I’ve done engine and transmission swaps in the past. I consider myself pretty handy as a shade tree mechanic. I was quoted $370 for the part and installation. To me, that’s a deal. As I get older, my time has become more valuable to me, and I consider that a time consuming project.

 

Yup! I agree for that cost!

 

Where were you able to buy this hoist?

 

Agreed, in fact it would have been an excellent idea... but, in this case, I never got the chance to exceed 60 km/h and everything was pretty much locked into place - the camera angle doesn't quite show it.

 

Found this in another post about the OEM tailgate lock:

It's fairly detailed. Hope this helps!

 

Had an opportunity to try out the red and white @MESO map lights. The whites are ridiculously bright. Even compared to the reds. I'm sticking with the reds and am going to throw in a white dome light once those are available. Some comparison pics:

 

Thats what I did red maps and white dome

 

Got the Pop n’ Lock on my 2020 4x4 TRD OR Quicksand Taco! A little loud (the locking mechanism) but the convenience is worttthhhh... Lomax Hard Tonnaeu Cover coming in sometime this week, that’s next!

 

I like that kit, Colonel. Do you have a link?
Happy retirement, by the way. Enjoy it, Sir!

 

MAN! That's sharp!!

 

I'm like 99% in awe - amazing talent sir. But I'm also like 1% F/U - tying my shoes without injury is an achievement.

 

What have I done to my 3rd Gen lately? I turned Dumbo into a Jack Rabbit off the line. S-Mode 3rd gear all day long in city driving. Dumbo turns into an aggressive lusty beotch. Leave it in 3rd. Don't touch it. What more Viagra? S-mode in 3rd or 4th and ECT PWR all day long. My girl with the big ears is horny off the line and at 35mph, 45mph, 55mph.

Y'all do know that S-Mode is about ELIMINATING gears and remapping the shift points and giving the ol' donkey more torque at all speeds? Throw in some ECT and you got yourself a daily Jack Rabbit.

S-mode is my daily drive. Only use "D" for highway cruising...

And S-Mode is not about trying to shift like a manual... Stick in 3rd or 4th and leave it. Hit 5th gear when needed.

I'll take on any 'aluminum' Raptor at a 35mph starting pace any day, any time.

My Dumbo is fast!

 

these guys make it all worth it. I have to clean my truck often, if I am rolling with the crew. but would not change a thing:

 

Best thing for dog hair, besides your shop vac.
