What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I wasn’t planning on paying it all off at once, but I wanted a little extra money each month so I could focus on paying off my RV, which I live in. The interest is higher than I’d like, and they do 10+ year loans on them these days. So now that my truck is paid off, I can save a little more and put that into the RV. I didn’t want to lump sum that, since it’s more than double what my truck loan was. I’m trying hard to not have any loans hanging over my head.

I’m also in a field where my employment is not guaranteed, some years there are months where I don’t have work.

 

@aozer: agreed. i looked at my car title couple months later and thought to myself why. its not like i NEEDED to pay it off. does it feel good to not have a car note? yeah i guess. but i was never really in a position where i was strapped for cash or had such an atrocious apr that it would put me in a situation lol. what works for me doesnt work for everyone though and i can appreciate that. i just like having cash on hand for whenever a need arises.

 

Who the fuck is stupid enough to leave their vehicle in neutral and not engage the e-brake?

 

Thanks. I usually just leave the button on the whole time. I noticed that the phone has to be set with the screen up and to the steering wheel but after about 40 minutes my old Samsung S8 would get quite hot the then the tray charging light starts to flash

Oh well

 

Financial people always say to first have 3 to 6 months of cash, money market acct, etc for emergencies. Then pay off your credit card balances, all while putting 15% of your gross paycheck into well balanced retirement account. If you have money left over then it becomes less obvious as you have more options: pay down car pmt or travel or future college expenses for the kids, etc.

 

I know what you mean.. I tried it but not working very well for me. So I use the cable instead.

 

That sounds good. The way I did was hustling by doing doordash. I put in 20 to 30 hours a week of doing it. It help out that my work slowed down since the pandamic. Thank god I’m still employed, I’m just on standby from work and still getting paid. I was bored at home and needed something to do. My friend recommended me doing doordash. It help me pay out the truck. I guess something came out good out of this pandemic for me.

 

Saw this today. Very well built. Sitting on 46's

 

Yes it does work for me or else I wouldn’t have bothered mentioning how I get my iPhone 11 Pro to work with the otterbox defender case on as I did. For what it’s worth, the battery case I was using previously did allow me to just set it on the mat but the case looks like heck compared to the otterbox.

 

I used to watch diesel brothers tv show. They make great custom trucks.

 

I always wanted to get a wrecked extended cab, cut off the back half of the cab and have it welded to my double cab... then swap the 6 foot bed for a 5 foot bed. Then I would have a custom mega cab tacoma.

I would loose a foot in the bed, but gain a 2 extra seats or some nice storage behind the rear seats.

 

I will have to check that out i have the defender series case cause I am clumsy and drop my phone last time was 15ft drop off a concrete block wall LOL no damage yahhh!

 

Okay, guys/gals Has anyone tried to Bluetooth an mp3 player and also use apple car play? I guess this would be geared towards 2020 Tacoma's I don't have an mp3 player yet was wondering if this would work just for the music

 

Do you have to ask?

 

Last week we invested about 10 hours to install a 3” lift on the TRD Sport. We then immediately had it aligned and today we put some 33” Nitto’s under the Tacoma. Gave it a whole new look and it still has a great ride.

 

Got 285/75r16 installed and even got the spare to fit under the truck.

 

Foglights in my SR.

 

Could you please post a picture of the space between the tire and the exhaust pipe when you get a chance? TYIA

 

Will do. Give me a few. I moved the chain hoist Back and Moved the exhaust over away from the tire.

 

Exactly this. I don't have any credit card debt, and now the only payment I have is my RV, which is not that much. I max out my IRA every year, but I don't get retirement from work so I just save every thing extra I have. I started late in saving for retirement because I was living paycheck to paycheck, which so many people do. I'm fortunate that I can save. No kids, so that makes it easier!
