What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Great idea! I drag mine all the time. Gonna have to start researching HC rear bumpers or chop the receiver off since I don’t use it anyway. It’s just in the way in the factory configuration.

 

It definitely softens the blow!

 

Hey everyone, look at my knob! (No Homo!)

Before; Chrome on the 4x4 knob:



After; no mo' chrome:

 

Installed some predator side steps and blacked the badges on my TRD Sport - I like the look a lot! Tonneau cover and bed light install once it stops raining here. Any suggestions on how to black out or change up the emblem on the front grill? I’d love to avoid getting a new grill if I can.

 

Thought about removing mine, but it needs to be there so I can attach a shackle to the rear.

 

Good point! With my luck I would need it for a recovery point after I chop it off!

 

My red arc brake controller can go though. Seeing as how I don’t use that. I’ve considered the fact the receiver, If flipped would cut into spare tire space. But I’ve also considered pulling my spare, for dd at least, because I have a patch kit and compressor on board. If I rip a sidewall during daily driving well then, I still could flip that little switch on the overhead and put up my Toyota symbol in the sky.

 

Looks great. Is that Limehouse Bridge?

 

I struggled adding all those chrome delete pieces even the my rings were a paint to remove

 

Sorry I didn’t see it till now. I’m on mobile

 

Do you still have tension between 2wd and hi? Mines a bit loose

 

I had to re-do it a few times because of that. Once I lined it up "just" right, it shifted from 2wd, to 4Hi and 4Lo with ease; but it isn't loose. The first time, it shifted from 2wd to 4Hi with ease, but 4Hi was hard to shift into. When I put it all together and turned the truck on, a warning light came on that told me I was in 4L, and I needed to go to a dealership because it was broken.

I took it all back apart and carefully lined everything up, then it worked just like it did when I had the chrome ring on it.

 

I get gas every Weds night on the way home from work. Never more than $25...I am the guy who considers a half tank as empty as well, so I rarely ever have to put more than $25 in to be good for the week

I am getting roughly 19-20mpg on average

 

Woke up to snow!

 

19-20 is really good! Half a tank out here in Cali is gonna be at least $50 now!

 

I get roughly the same mileage. It's usually between 1/4 and 1/2 if I fill up every 2 weeks but now its just under 3/4 when I top off. Have not been driving as much lately and seldom drive it on the weekend. That will change as the weather gets warmer and we go out and participate in some outdoor activities. Definitely better to fill up before the tank gets too low.

 

Wish I could do that. I do 500mi a week commuting into Boston. Filling up from E every 3 or 4 work days

 

I do a lot of cruise control driving and luckily, my drive to and from work happen in non-traffic times, so I am not stop and go driving as much as the average city person. I also do a 40 mile round trip to band practice on the highway once a week....

 

Ouch!
