What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Now It Looks GOOD! Much Better Looking Softopper on the Toyota Now! All Smoothed Out and Done! Better pictures and not all Wrinkled. Did notice after talking about the After Market Mud Flaps being OK well there NOT! I had to turn around on a narrow road with snow banks on the sides. Jammed the truck into them a couple times and see I busted one off next to the Exhaust Pipe!! So I will go with better one on the back and if the front ones do the same change them to. I was reading about them earlier here. Just drove to a better spot on my place for some pictures and not in the Garage Bay. Just priced those Rokblokz mud flaps and for $159.00 a set I will buy my own ABS and make my own like I did for my Boot Kicker and Challenger Side Skirts. Save around $500.00 on them making my own! Used this stuff a lot and it won't break off in the snow!

 

Best I can do. Hope it helps.




Looks to be #4...

 

That is some dirty looking oil on the engine with fresh on top. Looks to me that it has been leaking for a while? Hope it has not been leaking for a long time! Is this a newer truck?

 

Yes 5 degree

 

No oil spots anywhere that I can tell, so I don’t think it’s been leaking. Last time I looked under the hood was a month ago and all was fine. It’s new oil over old because I put oil back in the truck and ran it to find the leak. 2017 V6 with 86k miles

 

Best way is to pressure wash the engine and look close. I had a rock hit a oil filter on a Chevy pick up once and put a pin hole in it. On a Dodge Hemi I got a double gasket under a Oil Filter once and it blew out right away. I just see a lot of dirt and oil mix that looks to me like it has been leaking a while? Sensor, Gasket, Loose Oil Filter lot of little things it could be? 2017 & 87K to me is like a new engine and should look new still. I would think it is a gasket or loose oil filter. Bet it is a cheap fix!

 

Finally got around to installing my Victory 4X4 molle panels. Also installed the Tacomods radio knobs.
The molle water bottle holder I got on Amazon is perfect for a 32oz Nalgene...link below.

Man that is huge! I owe you a beer! This is why I love TW

 

Tbh I haven’t read that pdf in a long time but I saved it (figured for a reason) there’s no horizontal adjustment on our headlights so any mention of it likely is for understanding. That pdf isn’t specific to tacomas iirc, just a general

 

That glove box organizer and the tray for the center arm rest are great i think.

I didnt see the one for the inside of the arm rest, but ilike being able yo throw bigger things in there. Baby steps are good.

 

Sorry, I meant vertical adjustment. In my brain I was thinking of the horizontal line at the top of the low beams and got my terms mixed up. I'll be lowering them a couple degrees just because I know how annoying they are to other drivers.

 

Yes, it is.

 

It’s been 8000 miles from my last oil change so I don’t think it’s the filter. The apparent leak is also on top of the filter housing, where the oil cooler lines and pressure sensor fittings are. The filter canister itself is relatively clean.

Also it’s winter in Alaska so no pressure washing till May.

 

Ya, can't wait. No issues yet. I have several jumps in the books and a decent amount of wheeling. There is a little more than a 1 inch gap between the tire and the window.

 

Agreed. This forum is amazing!
Now I just gotta find the one I need for my skid plate...

 

I have mine 4sale for my 2019 short bed .. the cover does not let any water in.. I'm selling mine because I ordered a camper

 

Put the 6112/5160 combo on yesterday and got the alignment today. Use the no spring compressor method and had to change them from how they came (6/6) down to 4/3, so I basically put the 6112s on twice. Fun.

 

I added some fork mounts in the back to avoid the road salt on the bikes.

 

I did a combo, since I got my sliders with plates. I did normal spray paint on tubes and bedliner spray on the plates.
