What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm sure you could re-sell the extras on here. I've still got the factory plastic chrome grille, rear bumper caps, and chrome tailgate emblems. I actually don't mind them.

 

With help from a Taco buddy got my tri-color badge installed

 

Is there not a local nut and bolt bulk store in your area? I have a local where I buy all my exterior bolt replacement with SS since everything rust here in Ontario.

 

There's enough Tacomas on the Big Island. Buy the 50 pack and every time you pass one, thrown 4 of them at them. They'll be gone in no time!

 

The Home Depot I have been to does carry some nuts and bolts in bulk.

 

Finally picked mine up at the dealership after an almost 3 month wait! So far, so good. About to head back home so I spent 45 min in a parking lot with scotch tape masking off the front bumper to keep it pristine until my clear bra appt this Friday.

Oh yeah, I wasted no time picking up the 2021 4Runner TRD Pro 17" wheels all of 30 min after I got the truck. They’ll be wrapped in Michelin 265/70/17 LTX A/T2s on Wednesday.

 

Waited till I drove from Socal to AZ today to remove the SX decals (they peeled right off) + installed Seat Jackers for the 6hr drive. It really helped!

 

Hand wash and wax for the first time this year.

 

I got a set of "removed very early on" 2005-2015 TRD Black Carpet mats that I want to give to someone who will use them. I just can't bring myself to pitch them. So I wrote a note on a piece of paper to put under someone's wiper blade to give them away next time I park and see a 2nd Gen close to me. So far I have not located anyone but I figure if they don't contact me within a week make another note to give them to someone else. Trying to do it in my town so we can just meet somewhere to hand them off. Allen, TX.

 

I looked around for some aftermarket pro style wheels, and anything relatively close we about the same price. They were typically heavier, and had different setback and offset as well. I ended up getting the TRD pro wheels from a dealer for about 800. I know they are made for Toyota and are the best quality, so it's was a no brainer. If that's what you want, I suggest getting the real McCoy.

 

I’d probably laugh at you taping off the front, but when I picked up my 2nd gen a big bug hit the chrome (plastic) trim around the grill on my way home and put a big crack in it. Bothered me until the day I sold it.

 

“Still installing” These S.O.B.’s are rough. 3 bloody fingers, 2 shots of 101 and 4 beers in...what a pain, but dam they look good.

 

OME lift, Timkin bumpstop with U-bolt flip.

New wheels and tires, OEM, OR wheels Powdercoated with 255 85 16 GeoLanders.

Oh yeah Rocbocs too. Not done with those... maybe tomorrow..

 

Lifted and new shoes

 

As long as we're doing story time...
I actually bought a spare set of trd off road carpet floor mats from eBay after I bought my truck new. They're still in the wrapper sitting on a shelf. I almost ordered the trd pro ones for fun, but thought it might be frowned upon. Having the rubber floor mats in our 4runner I can finally appreciate them much more. On a side note, I did make chicken chow mien and potstickers from scratch last night. Oh, boy was it tasty. I can eat those things by the bucket full.

 

I need a shop like this one day.

 

Traded my 2019 SR to a 2021 TRD off road. They gave me lots of money for my SR.

I’ll pay you for a set if you’re in Hilo

 

Wow Stubbs? My wife came home so try some a few days ago first I heard of it. Now twice in one week ha.

 

I'm going to have to try STUBBS. I've always used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce and yes Chick-Fil-A does have some awesome sauces as well.
