What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Understood.
My 2017 did not come with the remote start feature. N2 is a great product. Been using it quite often lately.

 

pistol packin woo hoo

 

That’s a CONUS pass time, too. At least if you keep up with mainstream media.

 

That's what I have (RRW bolt on) and am really happy with them. Good score on your part.
Don't get use to the traction boards being inside. When you need them and use them for real, they'll be way too nasty to put back inside the cab. But fine for now...

 

Do as I say. Not as I do.

Seriously, I get what you're saying. What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.

But for reference, this what taken from inside my truck.



This was outside

 

oh, I was speaking specifically about the front door windows, not the windshield.

 

Ripped out my sub, rear molle panel, amp, seatcovers so the dealership can tear down my interior for the 3rd brake light fix and clean the interior for mold. Luckily the dealership is basically going to buy it for almost what I paid for it, 5 years later (not related to the recall, the used prices are just that high right now). Thanks Toyota I guess. Have had a Tacoma since the age of 16 (I'm 38), sad to finally be moving on, but this third gen was a bad experience all the way around. Hope you all enjoy your trucks.

 

I think one should be moulded to fit in the cupholders that your gun could just slide into.

 

Aww that sucks. What are you getting to replace it?

 

That is too bad. The rear brake light design has been a headache for so many loyal Taco owners. If Toyota had done the same 3rd brake light as the Access Cab all that frustration and unnecessary cost could have been avoided.

 

I'm downsizing for a year and keeping my daughters Outback while she is in school. Will pickup a Tundra when they settle down and are available and have no issues. Would be nice to get a bigger truck with the same or better mileage and without this weird transmission (and able to tow). If I had to do it all over again, I would have kept my 05. But you live and learn I guess.

 

Ah, you got the automatic too? The manual in my 2020 has been pleasantly surprising. I wish the Tundra looked... better. Frankly I haven't seen a full size truck that I've liked since the end of the GMT 400, so take my opinion with a snow shovel of salt.

 

Man you aren't lying. That truck is godawful ugly, but than again I think this version of the Tacoma is horrendous as well. Both designs have a way to big lower lip/cowl area. And yes the Manual is wayyy better, however, the mileage is way worse. Who knows, hopefully they do a mid resdesign on the new Tundra in 5 years, I can only hope.

 

My Glock 19 or 43 fit there perfectly and there is no way you can see it from any window. Lot of damn crime here in Houston.

 

Just going to throw that out there you should look into some way of securing it. Any crash and that thing is getting yardsaled. Also much harder to draw fast when you actually need it. At least an earth magnet glued into the door panel on the other side. I screwed in a safariland holster.

 

Of all of the "midsized" trucks available at the moment (I use quotes because they are all the size of an F-150 in the late 90's), I think the Taco is the best looking but considering its peers that really doesn't say much. It does look a lot better after the air-dam delete though at the cost of a bit of fuel economy. I really hope trucks start looking better when you're ready to buy another truck but given the direction they've been going over the last two decades... I'm not holding my breath.

 

Added a little old school flare and also a little hockey symbolism with these replacement badges that I found on Etsy for my floor mats. They are made for Weathertech but I made them fit on my Smartliners.
(Drew’s decals on Etsy: I am pleased with the product but the shipping was a nightmare)

 

Some folks don't like the cooler brights for the interior lights, but I'm diggin' em so far!

 

Replaced the factory wipers with Napa in house brand metal style

The factory ones were terrible! Streaks and they would always miss a spot on the passenger side on colder days. Usually the OEM ones are pretty good, maybe I just had a bad batch. Either way, $30 blades that just work. I'm cool with it.

 

Shoot my bad man. I was referring to your Avs deflectors
