What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got 2 free in 8k miles. That's an oil change every 4k.

 

I was eligible for 2 free oil changes (1 every 5k), but I've always done them myself instead. I thought Toyota only gave 2 free?

 

Any improvement on air speed input and exhaust output will improve performance. What does your butt dyno tell you?

 

I got 5 free oil changes and changed oil every 5k miles

 

Since last week, I installed Sequential Turn Signals, Raptor Lights (4 LEDs) and a Ragu Bed Stiffener. I also was able to install my 2m/440 mobile rig connected to a dual band glass mount antenna. This week, I am hoping to receive my BillieBars and extra Molle attachment via UPS. I'll post pics once I get the chance.

 

My Tacoma came with ToyoGuard Platinum, which provides 2 additional oil changes and 4 tire rotations after the standard Toyota Care expires.

 

A worth while upgrade for the dash speakers

 

I'm actually planning to dyno the truck a bunch even though it's just a Plain Jane daily driver and I know almost nothing about cars.

Desired tests:

1. Baseline, as stock (in terms of performance/wheels/tires... the spinny stuff)
2. After adding heavier/larger wheels/tires
3. After adding CAI
4. After regearing
5. After supercharger (some day )

It's kind of expensive in terms of being completely unnecessary, but really valuable in terms of providing quantifiable data to myself and other TW dorks.

 

I have an Injen CAI that I took off because I got a supercharger. It was only on for a few hundred miles. PM me if you’re interested.

 

Is there a reason to not use a CAI with a supercharger? The Magnuson at least looks like hooks into the stock intake in their marketing shots.

 

Sensor doesn’t know the speed delta. Only as a function of making the sensor angry enough to deploy the bags.

 

Magnuson doesn’t supply a tune that they guarantee works with anything other than the stock, or TRD, intake. I swapped to the TRD.

 

HAHAHAHAHAH. Thanks. I needed a good laugh today. Mods never end. Just when you think you're done, someone will post something you don't need but you must have! IT NEVER ENDS!!!

 

Probably the last time I can hand washed and do this before winter gets here…I love the smell of this stuff. She smell so good…

 

Playing the waiting game for my fog light install. Also, lookign at lift kits because I want to put 33s on it at some point.

 

I too am interested.

 

I'm 110 behind as I'm typing this. Will get caught up soon......maybe

 

Finally had my Icon S2 kit installed along with RC Fabrications gusseted spindles. Added Cam tab gussets and had my front Icon coilovers rebuilt.Had the work done at Demello Offroad. The front end rides great very happy with there work!

 

See, without knowing the cost (I’m assuming north of 5-10k) I would more than likely fix this or do majority of the work myself. I kinda walk around grunting in my head like Tim the tool man shouting that’s what I do… I fix shit! In this case that would be quite literal. Im self taught in most everything I fix and I’ve learned 1 major thing recently- yes time is money and to spend the extra money on the right tool (it will still be cheaper, likely/most of the time, than contracting it out).

I mean im not as young as I used to be and I must of been crazy to think I’d wheelbarrow 60yards of soil. After 20 yards I rented a dingo and cut my time from 20yards a week (after work and as long as my body would take) and a broke back to 40yards in 4-5 hrs feeling no pain.

 

Today I learned… that I’ve murdered my gas mileage to <13 MPG with all of the mods so far.
