What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I clean mine like twice a week. I detail cars in the summer between school and some people can really fck up a good car

 

Thinking about getting a hybrid bumper. The only thing stopping me is that I'm like 250 miles away from home until May. Covid is gonna shut the college down any day now so...

 

Thanks you take good care of your Truck Also.

It’s not always this clean. I had just finished cleaning it up. I try to stay on it monthly. This way it doesn’t get out hand. Plus it keeps me busy and away from all the saloons on the beach

That filter I replaced was about 6 months old. Big difference today as far as cooling in the cabin. It definitely needed to be changed.

Also hit 5,000 on the OD This morning, and have a set of AT tars ordered.

 

GFR too!

 

Oh Sure

 

Deep Tracks is a good station

 

Did my own version of the AC drain mod. I've never experienced much surface rust on any of my previous trucks vehicles even when they were parked outside for their whole time under my ownership. Here in GA it's just not that much of a deal. My Tacoma actually fits in the garage so it gets to be parked inside. But just to say I've done something I crawled under and sprayed a rag with Fuild Film and wiped down the area of the frame where the condensation will drip and run down. Might wipe down the whole frame at a later time but I doubt it'll be necessary. (The bronze looking spots on the frame weld is not rust, kinda looks like it in the photo but it's not)

 

I wash mine at least once a week and the interior gets attention more than that. Since we are getting all this rain now, yesterday I clay barred the windshield, then used CRL Bio Clean followed by a few coats of Chemical Guys Hydro View to help shed off water easier. In all honestly, the Chemical Guys stuff is way easier to apply but not as great by a long shot as Rain X. Rain X, when used with the methods listed first shed water so fast and clear that I really don't even use the wipers especially when first applied and for a few weeks afterwards.

 

Swapped out headlights. Had the alpharex novas before to the morimoto amber DRL.

before
After to the morimoto

 

Good upgrade from previous!

 

One of my Favorites

Monday swapped in some Timbren SES Front Bump Stops. For now My truck is on pavement most of time, and I’m happy with the results.

Thanks @DAS Taco for a review and some feedback on these.

 

Bedmat, boring picture.
Shout out to @Shocked for telling us about the holiday sale! Thanks man!

 

I agree with @WaitingOnMyR1T. The OEM Audio+ system took a couple months to break in, but it is definitely worth it imho.

 

Ill give that complete windshield process a shot, thanks.

 

Put my 7/100k extended warranty to use on my 2016
- New idler pulley ( squeaking )
- Resealed timing belt cover ( apparently was leaking )
- Replaced tailgate hinge ( crumbled on me ) Appears to be upgraded version since they updated them in 2016 post my truck build.
- Alignment
- Transmission Flush ( on my dime $300 which is insanely priced )

BTW, I bought my extended warranty after purchase for far less ( IIRC $1200 ) than the purchase dealer. Additionally, the ones offered from a Toyota dealer in TN has proven much better than the ones in the SE. Everything covered without question, no deductible and included rental car coverage.

Bought full size spare Geolander MT and Method Rim, hope to get mount and balance and see if it fits under my bed until I can get a bumper with tire mount.

Almost bought bed stiffeners. Went with a very high quality option out there and swallowed the price of it but just couldn't bring myself to pay the $30 ground shipping charge on top. I'm not cheap but don't like feeling taken advantage of.

 

My Truck at full stuff. Shocked we’re mounted today. It will have new inner fender wells made and the shock hoops covered under the new fender wells. My 40’’ spare still fits got 41’’ between wheel wells

 

Thanks for reminding me, I need to buy a warranty at some point

 

Got a co-pilot upgrade
