What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

isnt cali suposed to be all e cars in 5 years ? so price of gas wont matter!!!

 

Not really a mod for the taco, just one to represent!

 

Built and installed a rear platform for my dog and storage in my access cab.


More information on the build is here: Access cab dog platform | Page 5 | Tacoma World, post 89

 

Thanks to this advice, I finally got mine installed!

 

post pics when you get a chance!

 

Our governor is an idiot unfortunately. We borrow energy from other states already and when the winds pick up PG&E shuts the power off! Piss poor planning makes for piss poor performance.

 

Today I picked up my OR 6MT and driving it back to SoCal.

 

Finally got the TRD pro skid plate in the mail after 2 weeks, and now I’m waiting for the paint to dry, and then one more coat once I get back off the river, and then going on the truck! (I promise that it’ll look better once it’s dried, since the paint I’m using like to clump and pool up a little bit) but it’s gonna have a few days to dry since I’m gonna go disappear into the wilderness for a few days and fish my brains out!

 

whats going to happen when everybody charges their cars at night ? sounds like gasoline will be around for a long time

 

Where's that dog I asked to be the mascot?

 

Exactly! Our infrastructure can't handle everyone in America plugging in to charge their cars. So what's the rush to force everyone to EV?

 

It’s a good thing we invented the automobile, can you imagine all the horse manure clogging up our highways.

 

I live in Amish country, horse manure on the road is pretty common.

When our country transitioned from horse and buggy to the automobile, they didn't 'outlaw' the horse and buggy and force everyone into autos. The transition happened naturally as the infrastructure, affordability and peoples acceptance of autos gained traction. At the moment we are all but being forced into EV and our infrastructure is no where near ready for it. I think most people are open minded to newer/better technologies but it needs to happen at the appropriate pace.

 

No one is forcing me to buy an EV, although I really like the Ford 150 EV.

 

I vacuumed the interior of mine. Too many trips to White Castle and some fries had gotten away... (They no longer come in only one size...)

I also populated some pre-sets for the XM radio.

 

Picked up a yard of cedar chips...

 

Took a trip natural bridge. First stop to get breakfast.
Just noticed that it looses mpg if you are running 70mph above. And the gear hunting during high speed starts to annoy me.

 

Have you had an ECU update? It greatly reduces gear hunting and makes shifting smoother.

 

not yet. Just got my taco last March so still far from that. But thanks for the info, I’ll surely put that in my list.
