What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Totally sucks you have to get rid of it! Truck looks awesome. I've been toying with the idea of the ARB Summit bumper but I can't see myself using it to its full extent, just having it to have it and look good.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to put knobs on the steering wheel.

 

This is what you want (if you want your trucks steering wheel to look like your Grandma's 78' Buick.)

 

Thanks for that, but I was referring to radio knobs on the steering wheel to control the volume of the radio. It's a running joke going on here with a couple members.

 

Left the car at work yesterday and took the truck outta storage for some blizzard action yesterday. Ground was completely bare yesterday morning, then it started snowing around 10am and it didn’t stop till 6am this morning, believe we got about a foot and a half of snow. Went out last night at 7 to pick the gf up from work, highways closed, snow drifting everywhere, visibility pretty much zero. I turned the amber and white halves of the light bar on and drove at about 55km/h, our highways have markers pretty much every 100 or so meters for plows to see the edges and even in white out drifts I could see the reflection of the markers from the light bar so I knew I could see a stuck or abandoned vehicle in front of me. Overall it was a great drive considering the conditions, and a nice reminder of how good these trucks are in poor conditions, my front tires are at 50% and geolander AT’s winter performance are poor to begin with but the truck had absolutely no trouble. Traction control off and power out of everything! Although I never got stuck so it was more like power for 4x4 drifting around the city

 

Plug and play

 

Wish I had seen this before I did it, lol.

Saw your mention the back seat storage bin. I went and got longer fasteners for it, can't remember what the styles called right now, and they were long enough to bite and hold it down tight.

 

Installed heated seats and a remote starter over the last few days

Your not going to find any more space in a 4runner, We ended up getting a highlander.

 

I took it to a dedicated ceramic place. My buddy did his car himself and it didnt turn out too well. This place used Feynlab products and came with a 5 year guarantee with free detailing, etc. It was pricey but damn, it's so hydrophobic now. Water just falls off. When I wash it, it pops right back to the original shine. Was worth every penny. here are a few shots right after I had it done.

 

Drove back to college today and the gas station next to my school only had 93 octane. I was not planning on spending $85 on gas today but oh well. My toyota tacoma is now a race truck.

 

$85? Ouch! Nothing hurts worse than getting punched in the wallet.

 

for real man. I'm glad I worked 200+ hours over winter break

 

Beautiful Truck!

I wasn't paying attention to the square patch in the middle...it does not detract from the front end.

Thank you for your service!

I don’t know why FedEx sucks so much here in Colorado- and they don’t care either. Cant tell you how many times they missed my house, or just go adrift in the system- only to turn up in one of their crappy pick-up site kinkos. I don’t understand how kinkos are still a business?!

UPS is solid here. Never a problem

USPS barely scans their stuff. Oftentimes just shows up with no updated tracking info ‍♂️

now I sound like a ranting old bastard. Been inside too much since Christmas

 

Does this mean my lowly SR has auto headlights?

I feel you man- Thank Crom you didn’t flip. I’m sweating just thinking about this
