What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

In SoCal. Interested but wondering if the smog check will become an issue.

 

I swapped the TRD Sport grill for an SR5 today. Pretty easy, only snapped one bracket.

Yesterday, got a Simoniz GlassCoat applied.

 

Thought the same thing. Was surprised at dealer when they said 10k.

 

Not an issue.
Pm @TWTaco to schedule with us.

 

Smog is not an issue. Aside from the tune having been tested, and passing emissions, the map's (probably, saying this from past tuning experience with rotary engines and Ford 4.6) increased efficiency most likely actually improves the emissions output. Don't worry about smog, it's perfectly fine. Do it, you will NOT regret it even the least bit.

 

I got a price for the Toyota 120m/125k extended warranty from my dealer and said nope. They want $3300. At that price i'll sell the truck before the bumper to bumper is up and buy something new again

Who on here was selling extended warranties? I thought someone had mentioned a dealer that had the hookup.

 

Have faith, that truck is going to last 15 yrs+.
I had a 1987 Toyota regular cab 4x4 and it was still on the road in my neighborhood after I had bought and sold a 1992 access cab 4x4 and then a 2001 Tacoma access cab TRD 4x4.

 

I'm only at 3900 miles on my 2018 and she's no longer a service virgin, plus mine falls in the VINs where at some point the timing covers are going to leak.

 

So then are you saying it's worth getting the extended warranty? I got quoted the same thing, and had to say no.

 

I'm at 74000 klms and going strong.

 

It was a slow Friday, working at home, so I took a few minutes and installed sound dampening (SoundSkins Pro) in two of the four doors. I used the following two kits:
Inner door: https://www.crutchfield.com/S-WOCOJKa7sFp/p_239KTCM4DR/SoundSkins-SSK-TCM4DR.html (kit includes all 4 doors)
Outer door: https://www.crutchfield.com/p_239SSPRO1/SoundSkins-Pro.html (need one roll per side)

 

Step one

 

Ordered amp research steps! Finally get rid of my got damn tube steps that are useless. I’m short

 

Added an AL Offroad Onyx Roof Rack. This thing is super strong and looks fantastic imo. Almost NO wind noise which was very surprising. The service from AL Offroad was awesome, they are in Texas and after some shipping issues (not their fault, UPS sucks) they got the replacement parts out to me in the ice storm, which was amazing. I highly recommend this rack to anyone in the market for one. It's awesome.

 

3 questions. What size are the new toyos, are they the A/TIII, and are you on stock suspension?

 

Stock. 265/70/17. LT A/TIII.

 

I have been looking at them for myself. Are those the stock 17's and tires, or are you upgrading your wheels?

 

Damn, they look a lot larger than stock

 

Stock rims, which I thought were 16s?
I ordered new rims. I went with the Tandem offroad charlie's in bronze. 17x8.5 with a 12mm offset I believe.

 

That's what I was thinkin'.
