What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

My commute is a little longer…23 miles door to door. I wish I could have a short commute. Enjoy it!

 

That is so awesome!! Now that I'm retired - and with COVID pretty much keeping me working from home for the last 6 months I was working, I'm sitting at 15,485 miles after two years and a month of owning mine.

 

Pro LED headlights, and SSD3 Max Fog lights installation.

I was like "how do I get the bumper and fender separated" pull! Chloe had some great tips.

Good thing I liked Legos as a kid!

 

Installed a rail at the head of the bed, and got a matching spare. Now to decide where to mount the spare. Also took it for an afternoon cruise.

 

I'm at 9109 with my 1 year anniversary coming up on May 14th.

My 3rd scheduled Toyota Care MX is in Jul 2022 then Dec with the last one Apr 2023. (5 visits total in 2 years)

 

I like the way the replacement tails melt all surrounding snow. Looks much better.

 

The blacked out tails are fire.

 

Haha well it was a week apart. I broke both bolt tabs on the one passenger, stupid mistake oh well. Also I think these are 17-18 TRD Pro tails? Idk. Love the subtle chrome delete.

 

That’s awesome! I also have a 4.2 mile round trip to work. I would bike or walk but coming home would be mostly steep uphill. The taco should last you a good long time with that kind of mileage annually!

 

There are problems with not driving much, too.

My commute is 7.2 mi. round trip and I've been working from home a lot. Back in January, I had a Power Stop front caliper seize up and warp the rotor. Took it into the shop, had both calipers and rotors replaced. At the time, the manager showed me that my rear rotors (yes, rotors) were rusting. My reaction was "Meh.".

Welp, 3 weeks later I was back because one of the rusty rear rotors grabbed the ceramic pad out of the caliper causing a nice "BANG!" and ruining both caliper and rotor. Had both the calipers replaced, and the manager went ahead and ordered some coated rotors. Looked weird. They were all silver, including the tophat. We'll see how they hold up.

 

2.75 in and 3.0 in. The ones that I ordered are here:

$16 ROADFORMER 65mm - 73mm T-Bolt Hose O.D. Clamp - Working Range 2.56" - 2.87" for 2.75" Hose OD, SS Bolt and Band, Floating Bridge and Nylon Insert Locknut (65mm - 73mm,2 pack)

ETA: Sorry for the delayed reply. Been down because of the Norovirus. It's a nasty virus. One word of advice about the Norovirus, if you get it, NEVER TRUST A FART.

 

I assume that you receive that message after you get near the zero miles left message. When did it come on and how far were you able to drive with that message showing?

 

lol, 45 miles and an average of 1.5hrs each way.

 

Wow! My dayshift commute is about the same amount of time for half the distance…that’s why I work an off shift now!

 

Yikes. Been there. Sage advice my friend.

 

Few things. Finished the bumper and winch yesterday. All the skids are on except the rear diff and transfer case skids. Sliders are on the way and lift is sitting on the garage floor waiting for another nice weekend.

 

I was on I 5 when it came on and drove 21 miles to the gas station, it came on at 5 miles remaining. Also I had cruise control on, I had 1500 pounds in the bed, my roof rack and tent on.... good to know, dont usually cut it that close, I had a can with me and was about to pull over and use it

 

Looking good! I love my Hi line bumper have a few recoveries with it now and holding up great!

 

Does anyone know where I can I find this "how-to"? Thanks!

 

Oil change weekend. Lady’s car yesterday and taco today
