What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

This is on my list. How long did it take to tear apart the interior, lay the material, and put it all back together? Seems like a perfectly doable weekend job, but the Tacoma is my daily.

 

Amazon of course!

$17 Three Pocket Pickup Truck Cargo Net Fit for Toyota Tacoma 2013-2019 Cargo Organizer Storage Net

Three Pocket Pickup Truck Cargo Net Fit for Toyota Tacoma 2013-2019 Cargo Organizer Storage Net

That's exactly why I got it, tired of my milk flying around on the way home lol its been used a lot for basically everything. Even keeping stuff/supplies some what organized when going to the beach

 

I have battled today with my E brake. I keep remembering the red solo cup when I pull the lever. I need to put something on mine.

 

I added w
Weathertech window vents and Cooper Discoverers 265/75/16.
The tires fit perfectly with my stock suspension and wheels.

 

How do the coopers feel on your Tacoma? I have them on my F150 and I’m thinking I would put them on my Tacoma.

 

Gotta do that, too. Just got a great deal on some brand new, unused Thule X12 chains. Now I have to find some snow conditions!

Also, is that a Redarc trailer controller? I need to add a controller for one of my flatbed trailers with ebrakes. Thinking that's a clean set up. You likey?

 

I have just over 5k on my AT3's that I traded out at 1k miles on the new TRD. Had them on my F150 SCrew 4x4 and still have them on my '98 Ranger SCab 4x4. Excellent tires on/off road and hold up a good long time. No excessive noise on the Taco but my mileage is a bit sucky at around the high 15's for combined driving.

 

Thanks. Just ordered one. Hopefully the next time I get groceries I won’t have to hear it hit the bulkhead and wonder if it is leaking.

 

So I guess the weight of the tire killed your mileage? I have them on my work truck but the company pays for the gas in that so I don’t check the mileage to see if they hurt it. I will say that the work truck was awesome in the snow yesterday.

 

Compared to the Firestone Destinations I replaced...night and day difference. The ride home on the highway was smooth as silk. The truck tracks better and just feels good. I got the truck up to 70mph and felt no vibration or shimmy.

There's an old saying from my WERA days that applied to suspension and tires really well: "The best you know is the best you've had."
Well, so far, these Coopers are the best I've had.

 

At first I just attached the loops from the net to the factory rail anchors, but I wanted the net closer to the tail gate than the rails allowed. So I put a d-ring on each side right by the tailgate and attached the net as seen in the pictures. Now it's right up against the tail gate and extremely easy to remove when needed!

 

I have been looking at pics to figure out how it would work best. I saw some with it up against the cab but I would rather have it back at the tailgate. I will just experiment with it when it arrives.

 

Yeah that’s a red arc. Unfortunately I haven’t had the need for it yet. I thought for a hot minute I was gonna be getting an overland trailer with electric brakes. The cig spot is good place because they are both circles. Now I have to move the cig lighter to the back for fridge purposes.

 

Add all those half seconds up and that could cost me a minute of my life!

 

Yes I agree it sucks! What is changed with the fuel that causes the drop?

 

I'm sure you guys there are settings that can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. When I first got my truck it was annoying how much they went on in very mild darkness. But after finding the right adjustment I think they were pretty well.

 

That could easily be a big portion of my mileage. We're only at about 6.5k after buying on 7/31 so it's possible the blends have hosed me. I'm playing with tire pressure now to see how much I can get from that.

 

I definitely see a drop when winter comes. It isn’t due to idling my truck to let it warm. I get in it and go. I’m blessed to park it in the garage. I try to keep the tire pressures at 35 but I can’t get the mileage back until late spring.

 

No upgrades today, just parked next to a jeep.

 

Did you get this, any word on how awesome it works
