What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What can I say?

That old Apple IPod mini has held up thru the years. Prob the ONE Apple product I have (Android phone user). I was wondering around Walmart after they were released circa 2008 or 09 and saw the green one, and have kept it ever since.

 

Installed bed stiffeners (Total Chaos)

 

Hey, I see you have an iPod there. Using that for music? Bluetooth to radio? I have been looking at doing something like that. I like to have all 200k songs but really don't want them on my phone. Just wondering how that works. If that's what you're using it for?

 

Had the Interior completely cleaned out. And replaced the brake light bulb on rear left

 

Insert Shiah lebouf (sp?) Meme here

JUST DO IT

 

BMW used to recommend something like that then they realized that the oil in the engine turned to an acidic sludge...I don't think Toyota "Care" and definitely the dealer are not cheering for your vehicle to last a very long time...once upon a time they might have but now they rather make money on repairs or sell you another vehicle...your choice, oil is cheap

 

That’s a nice clean truck man, love those wheels on it

 

My friend in California is a master Toyota tech and he changes his oil in his Tacoma every 5k.

 

whoa! Is that a straight swap, or do you need to upgrade the tranny too?

 

I have an 8 terabyte NAS at home that allows me to stream all my music to my phone using the DS Audio app which automatically connects to my truck via Bluetooth. Not a single drop of memory is used on my phone. I don't know how many songs I have but it's about 30 yrs of music. If I lose, break, damage, or upgrade my phone nothing is lost I just download the free 2MB app on my next phone and move along

 

Actually no. The shifter screws on and then you tighten it in the proper position with an Allen wrench. From there the chrome (soon the be deleted black thanks to Meso) slid right up and click in under the handle and has held there ever since.

 

Not a straight swap. Still may need to swap trans. I’ll find out in about a week or so

 

No more fish bowl

 

I was just messing with you, I got 10 good years out of my original 2005 iPod before it was stolen. I saw that old school apple charger and had to poke fun lol.

 

Welcome and nice rig.

 

Bilstein 5100s all around, TRD rims, Toyo Open Country A/T III 285/70/R17

 

Any worries of it somehow turning open on the road or is it fail safe?

 

Ordered some OEM all weather floor mats and a OEM bed mat. I have splash guards and OEM door sill protectors coming in any day now.

 

Seems fail safe. There’s a spring on the lever and you have to apply some pressure and press it then slide it over for it to open. It also comes with a little clamp of sorts that sits over the lever keeping it from coming open. Seems unlikely that would ever happen though.

 

Unfortunately, had to sell the RTT this last weekend. Sad Face. But detailed the truck and re plasti-dipped the fairings to give them a bit of a shine. (I had the plasti dip on there for 1.5 yrs already with no issues)
