What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Swapped spark plugs.
Bought my 2016 used from the dealer with 67k miles. The manual calls for spark plugs at 60k.
I'm now at 90k miles... One of those things I should have done sooner! And the dealer should have taken care if it before I bought the vehicle.

The Denso plugs are expensive... I went with the AutoLite replacements

Edit: I smushed my engine cover starting off on my test drive. Who needs that piece of plastic anyway?!

 

Sorry, I'm going to double post. I also did the diff breather this weekend

The OEM breather was full of dirt and mud

I ran the new breather up behind the tail light

 

@Karminski - WOW great looking truck you have there. Hope you dont mind a question. What are you using for dressing on your fender flairs ? It looks great. Thnx

 

So what exactly is an SR? I used to think it was a stripped down no frills model but mine is anything but. Sure, it has steel wheels, basic Entune and no fancy bedside stickers but all the major goodies are there. 4 wheel drive. V6, keyless entry, power windows and locks, backup cam, etc. etc.

 

fender flares?

 

Nope, no fender flares but that's something I can live without.

 

Whoa... after all the shit SR/SR5 owners get for putting "poser" TRD parts and badges on their trucks i will not stand for this. Remove it now or be cast among the "posers". (Lol)

 

I'm not a mod or the politics police or anything, but I've been banned on here for less. Just sharing that.

 

Keyless entertaining is optional in Sr, but its really minor stuff.
SR5 has
optional black alloy rims/ standard grey
Larger infotainment screen
Different grille
LED daytime running lights
Fender Flares
Leather steering wheel with Bluetooth controls
Auto dimming rear view mirror
TPMS sensors with individual location
Options for Blind Spot Monitoring and back up sensors

 

But at what cost?

 

Thanks I've been using VRP from Chemical Guys for the past few years and been pretty happy with it.

I went with these. Built in anti theft system.

Really happy with the new tires. 265/75/16 BFG KO2s. Does a lot for the look of the truck.

 

Not a chance. It's actually a 2019 TRD Off-Road "Heritage Edition" with Tech-Premium.

wait for it....

 

More pics
Please!

 

@jmauvais I've never heard that expression either. It must be a right-wing term.

 

Installed. Choosing fastener mounting over strap mounting was more PITA than I expected, as the hole locations change slightly once the skid is bent to conform to the fuel tank contours. Had to open the rear holes from 1/2" to 3/4" (2 sec each with a unibit), but got 'er done:



Will have to monitor driveshaft U-joint clearance when fully stuffed:
