What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yes sir! Also ordered the Morimoto Sequential LED Mirrors and LED License plate lights during the Hot Shot Offroad Sale:

 

So they mount with the rotopax mounts?

 

Exactly. From the site: ONLY LOX and DLX Pack Mounts will work with RototraX

RototraX are traction boards compatible with our RotopaX hardware. With the same mounting pattern as our 4 gallon (two 2 gallon) container RototraX will mount in all the places our fuel container can. RototraX are manufactured with the same high durability plastic and manufacturing technology as RotopaX. With great durability and a fair price point, RototraX are an excellent upgrade to your offroad or overland vehicle. Various colors coming soon! 100% Made in the USA!!



And they come with a one year warranty on physically broken boards.

 

So they sell you on the mount and then make you buy the boards. Man, I’ve got a rotopax gas can, and actiontrax (us made not aus, but the same).

 

That’s smart marketing for you. Hooking you in with one product and then diversifying it for another application.

For me, since I already had an additional lock mount, it made sense for my application.

 

Are the RX350 retro fit an easy swap or does it require trimming

 

Looks mighty top heavy to me.

 

Did the same dang thing.

 

Time to trade up to this??

 

Looks very similar to a Hilux. Wonder if there is some rebranding going on between Toyota/Lexus again.

 

Today?

I rolled the dice on tacobell and lost.... had to invest in some febreeze.

 

Looks too much like a car front end, too much plastic, it would break into a million pieces the moment that you hit anything. The cargo space in the truck bed looks tiny too, like a Tundra's Short Bed. Whats up with that antenna in the front? are they trying to be Teletubbies?

The rock sliders look pretty weak too, thats not going to protect the sides of the truck from anything.

 

It's just a Photoshoped Lexus front clip on a Hilux

 

It happens, don't let it get you down. Experience is just a bunch of mistakes.

 

Other that the grill looks like an Hilux

 

I use a reusable K&N cabin air filter, less crap going to the landfill

 

You do something enough, you will make mistakes. We have all been there. Doesn't mean you suck. At least not because of that.

 

I performed the gas tank mod today and filled it with some 87 octane Chevron gasoline ($2.69 per gallon). Hand calculated 20.76 mpg with 90% city driving. This is the first truck I've ever had to actually get the advertised MPG on the window sticker for city. MPG doesn't really mean much to me however, it's nice to know Toyota can build a V6 engine that is both durable and efficient.

 

My princess got new slippers





16x8 SCS F5s on Matte Gray. I love them and the Maxxies look absolutely gorgeous. I may get them again when I upgrade to 285s. Right now they are 265/75s

 

Ordered an axe and some mounts and made a bracket to utilize the 2 threaded inserts in the front of the bed.
