What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It does. The front of the CBI trans skid matches the back of the TRD skid.

 

It is still used with the hex rack. It just snaps into a new base.

 

Sold my baby. It is going to live on a farm now. But it made it possible for mw to get my super pacific camper.
Bought brand new in 2006. The Tacoma is my first new truck since then.

 

You got rid of it to add something useful for your Tacoma.... I much prefer your new Tacoma over the Nissan.

 

Man I loved my Xterra. Thenewx was the first car forum I was on, I learned so much!

 

Same here. Really doing stuff for the first time and learning. Regeared my c200 w frontier gears to match the titan front diff. All sorts of stuff. Now i can come here and just be the noob and learn about the new truck.
Very cool family bought it. They said i can visit whenever i want. Ha.

 

Finished putting the interior back together. Smell is 98% gone now. While I had the interior out, I made my own little drivers side rear seat delete.

 

It was so cool that you could put a m205 front diff in those. I wish I would have titan swapped mine.

 

Beautiful picture. But wait a second. You need a hiking permit? Seriously?

 

We're just starting to plan. We scheduled a week, but if I can get the truck ready, I'm going to add two weeks and take the truck. I can't are some time and my wife will fly out.

 

I don't think it would be any easier on the knees than the stock panel. The plastic is quite a bit thicker than I expected based on pictures alone, and it doesn't have anywhere near as much give as the stock panel. My knees are in rough shape already, so I don't think I'll be kneeling on it anytime soon. Otherwise, I think it's a solid upgrade. Fitment was good, but the pre-drilled holes weren't perfect (some off by 1-2mm at most). I got it back together though, so no serious complaints. I got the Mountain Hatch mostly for camping and tailgating. Haven't had a chance to do either yet this year, unfortunately, but it will be nice having a smoother surface to work with when the time comes. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.

If it's on your wish list, I'd hold out until a holiday sale. Looks like they're doing 20% off right now for Memorial Day, and that's the same discount I got last year. I think I mentioned in my initial post that I bought it on Black Friday, but after going back through my email, it seems I actually made the purchase during their Christmas sale.

 

Sorry to ask again, but who made the Sub box? I'm waiting on one from Mr Marv right now.

...^^^... I am very fortunate (and sometimes feel guilty) to be alive also .... this day is very special for me .... I feel the same way for the other military members that did not return and were KIA and never got to experience life because they died at such a young age. ..... May they stay forever young ...

Here is a giant flag that I see several times a week when I go to this small local cafe for lunch.

This American Flag is GIGANTIC and the pic does not show it's true size .... biggest flag I have ever seen in my life.

Happy Memorial Day



Regular size flags below the the GIANT flag for size reference at the RV dealership.

 

Recently Added the TRD Exhaust, and today cleaned and detailed the interior.

 

Mr Marv made mine. It's worth the wait.

 

Yes, thanks! It’s the little things.

 

Installed new front tie downs.

What was the leak from? What did you use to clean it up? Was it mold?

 

yup unfortunately. The full name of the walk is south coyote buttes. Its a part of the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs wilderness. It is managed by the BLM and they limit it to 20 people per day. I haven’t even bothered to mention the North coyote butte hike, better known as The Wave. Trying to draw a permit for that is extremely unlikely. We went there in early February and 90 people showed up for 14 permits. In the peak season hundreds can show up for 6-10 permits

South Coyote Buttes is one of two of the most spectacular hikes ( maybe three miles in length) we’ve done over seven months and 20,000 miles of exploring the western US. Here’s more info:

They start the lottery for October tomorrow and it runs through the end of the month, so you’d know by July 1st whether or not you’re going.
