What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to TW M8!

 

Welcome to TW Bud!

 

I would definitely rock that over the TRD Pro grille!

 

Added a little bit of chrome the other day.

 

Knocked out the Toyota remote tailgate & bed light install this week.

 

Can anyone identify this roof rack? I must be getting old and can't make out the manufacturer. I really like the 'TACOMA' cut out on the back piece.

 

When everything is wet and muddy with gloves on you'll appreciate "excessive".

 

I'm actually loving the enlarged wingnuts. That's a good idea. I'm assuming you purchased them from a local hardware store?

 

What did I do to my flawless mint condition 2016 Tacoma Sport today. As I was walking past it again to get in my car I opened the door and noticed I have only driven it 270 miles the past 3 months and only 4000 miles in 22 months. Figured I did 2 oil changes over the last 4k miles. So with 25k miles I think its time to get serious about buying something else. Maybe a low mileage FJ Cruiser or a 4runner Trail. Looked up the KBB today and the high private party value is only $100 less than I paid nearly 5 years ago. Not surprised that they really do hold their value.

 

All the more reason to keep it I say.

 

That sucks! My first rocket launch we drove 4 1/2 hours from NYC to Wallops Island VA. It was 33° that night. Went inside the visitors center to warm up every hour. Sunrise hits, countdown begins, all systems go at T-2 minutes. Get to 60 seconds so far so good. Hit the 30 second mark and some said abort. Some asshat flew his plane into the restricted air zone. Couldn’t stay the night to see the launch the next day. Next one was 6 months later and was worth the wait, was a night launch in May.

 

Well now, the fact that you can afford to buy something else tells me you have not installed enough upgrades on it.

 

He can definitely fit 35s with no lift.

 

Bought front and rear seat jackers from Desertdoesit.com. First tried the front and the rear but the front raised the seat too high for my liking--uninstalled them. Kept the rear risers in and it's a 1 1/4" lift now and so far it seems ok and definitely gives me better vision over the hood. I don't feel 'sunken' down into the seat anymore. Most likely will be selling the front risers as I don't think they are for me.

 

Also installed a center console pad...

 

Taking the beast to Mule to have them remove the front diffy drain plug that they mangled. Not cranky about it because they are so cool about making it right. Goes a long way! I want to know what magic they will use!

 

And I may have found a good solution for the cup holder issue in at least my 2020: I tried these sleeves which are made for Teslas--guess they are having the same problem with bottles and cups moving around in their holders too! The sleeve fits perfectly in the center console opening. It works for Dunkin' Donuts coffee cups for sure as I tried one of those first. Much more snug now. Tried the sleeve in the dual cup holder and it somewhat fits although I haven't tried a coffee cup in there with it yet. I guess I am still looking for the perfect solution but damn why didn't Toyota come up with a better solution for this? That dual cup holder is ridiculous in that the openings are kind of square...anyway, here's what the sleeves look like...

I spent around $5k on upgrades. Been done with mods for a couple of years now.
