What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I would have bought a MT if it wasn't and extra $10K CDN to get a Pro and have a bunch of crap I have no need for.

How about Toyota sell a MT SR5 with an e-locker.

 

Then nobody would have bought a pro or an offroad lol.

I, for one, only got my Offroad because of the locker. Had it been available on a lower trim I would have gotten that. I swapped out all the rest of the stuff already that makes it an 'offroad' and it's only been 4 months.

 

I got an OR for crawl control, totally got my moneys worth from that hahahaha

 

It's funny, I felt the same way at first. But the one time my Kreg jig broke it was the little metal set screw. Sheared off in the jig. They sent me a whole new one for my trouble. Now I can't trust metal or plastic.

 

Looks great and super functional!

 

Nice truck! I like the little lips that extend over the side of the bed - looks like a better design than the RSI caps I’ve seen.

 

Got 2.5 years on mine and still going strong. Must be the mild weather here. I did pick up a jump starter just in case.

 

Put miles on her and smiles on me. Y’all have a happy new year.

 

Is that a swimming pool in the last pic?

 

Are we twins?

 

It’s a “pila” or a water tank. Built in 77 and no longer in use. Dude that built it was about my size by the look of his foot print.

 

Was there a house there?

 

Its been single digit here for the past week, but my battery has been failing for the past month. Thinking of getting the toyota warranty battery, selling it and getting a northstar.

 

Whats the Toyota battery warranty length?

My '19 has not had an issue yet.

 

3 year 36k mile on the first battery, then the replacement is 84 months (prorated)

 

I'm running Toyota's Trustart 84 month warranty battery. Still zapping along after over 4 years.

Edit: I think my ctek float charger helps it last longer.

 

No. That was a very large working ranch at one time and that spot is quite remote...about 1.5 hours south/southeast from the Saucedo ranger station (middle of ranch). Many cattle still in the northern region but didn't see any signs of them in southern portion. The ranch is massive. I don't have the history on that pila, but it clearly gathered water for water tanks just below the hill for cattle that are no longer there. There were pipes running down to a 4x5'ish cement troughs. Zero water anywhere near my camp though.

Entire ranch is fascinating...just the geology alone is incredible. But to see and traverse some of the old wagon trails is a friggn absolute incredible journey. And ZERO pavement/humans/technology and noise. Bliss.

 

Finally got around to installing MESO Stage 1 tail light kit. Much better than Toyota's dumb idea of breaking main tail light into two lit pieces depending on function.

Saved me from contemplating spending $600+ on Morimoto tail lights lol my fake TRD Pro knockoff tail lights from DEPO or whatever is good enough for me I still rock a knockoff TRD Pro grill so it's all good haha...

 

Big Bend Ranch?

 

Come to NV for a trip. Outside of the small Reno and Vegas metro areas you have days worth of driving through that.
