What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@ClassyTacos
Well, I just have to say that you're personally responsible for me spending more on this truck all the time!
Plus you have some excellent youtube videos!
Thanks

 

I love Canada and Moosehead beer, but -42C. Damn.

 

You know you can move, right?

 

WHOA WHOA WHOA...the cross rail stow way?! i never knew that. i may need to get a set. I like the look of the Prinus, victory, etc but dont like how i wouldnt be able to really clean my roof since all the cross rails they have. geez i cant believe i never knew this.

 

Then what would we complain about during the winter? lol

 

Yep, transferred back from Japan and work in the area now. I frequently drive around, so that might have been me. Been a ghost town since the pandemic, but everyday jogs and bbqs and drinks at the beach helps get the mind off it.

Recently, noticed a lot have came over from Texas, lots of their State plates driving around. Might have something to do with the Cope North exercise.

 

All of the snow turned my Tacoma into a Ridgeline.

 

Okay, I laughed

 

Don’t you speak that evil on your truck.

 

I've heard if this "winter" thing before - think I saw it on TV once. Yeah - we had a few days of upper-40's to low 50's, and that was it for winter down here. It's WAY too hot. Kayaked to the beach this weekend. Not a very "typical" mid-Feb activity for the other 95% of the country.

 

Yeah, we still have out and about weather where I am at but its a little chilly which is nice. Im sure this summer will be hot af

 

Truck should be arriving at the dealer the end of next week.
Getting ready......

 

Yup...fold out of the way and tuck into the rails. Just be sure of two things: 1)The load bearing is VERY light: 100lbs max evenly distributed. 2) Depending on the year of your truck build/ OEM part number for the rails, that rear crossrail will sit on the shark-fin antenna and could damage it, the seal, or your roof. Not an issue for me because the rear rail won't be used.

 

The Lomax covers are a good option at half the price. I have the Lomax Stance. I was going to go with Retrax before I found them.

Parent company is https://www.agricover.com/ which also makes some rack systems.

What is the function of the door striker and limit convert?

 

So sell me on this shifter please. I know nothing about it other than it is a shorter throw I think. I may know nothing. Lol is it better than stock? I really don’t like how my taco shifts. Some say it’s a truck you will get used to it but other than motorcycles and quads all manual trans vehicles I have owned has been trucks and none of them shift like this truck. It is a very odd feel. At times it falls into gear and other times I’m not sure which gear it is going to drop into. Strange beast don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t trade it to an auto but still kinda quirky.

 

scheduled my appointment for my 5.29s and Harrop E Locker to be installed at ECGS on the 22nd

 

It's great! The core shifter is much more precise feeling.
This should tell you everything...

Where can I get it? The bracket is useful.
