What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It does, but i just thought if im paying for it ill get what I want. I wanted the black powder coated. I dont have time to install it yet unfortunately lol. I was looking at the miller and talon cat guard.

 

Wow didn’t know this existed. Definitely will look into this.

 

Put the cat shields on the trans skid. Took all of 10 mins. Will have to wait to install on truck though lol

 

Went off-roading in Silver Lake Dunes, MI with m neighbor. Fun time!!

 

It's made for tacomas

 

This looks like a great rack. Something I could use. But I don’t think it would work well with a rollx4s tonneau cover.

 

Why fly a flag is that so people know your coming ?

 

Yes. You can't go off-roading without it in MI.

 

Trip to the lake with the new Bak Revolver X4s I purchased through Santana@Realtruck. I’m really pleased with the quality, mechanics, looks, and features. Locks tight, rolls up easy for full bed access without completely block rear visibility, and so far seems tough as nails. Combined with the OEM remote tailgate lock, it’s like having a giant trunk, but I still have a full bed in 60 seconds. So much easier to be able to throw all our gear in without thinking about bungees or loose items flying away…

35 some odd years ago I worked at a fast food restaurant that closed at 11. The worst was a bus pulling up at 10:50ish and seeing 20-30 people pour out of it. By then we've shut down grills, started to clean, have minumal food out. We served them, but we weren't happy about it.

 

I have the same Billsteins. Thoroughly impressed with the bump handling at speed.

 

DDI seat hackers paired with quikfix in the back. Sits so much nicer now.

 

Any leaks that you know of? I’ve read some reviews where people say it leaks pretty bad. But, I often wonder if it is more of an install problem than an actual problem with the product. Some people just don’t do it right.

Took her out for a surf

 

Just added her A arms plates. Free custom cut by the guys at RCI to fit my TRD PRO skid plate.

 

I’m not sure, only just got it and haven’t seen any rain. The seals all sit nice and tight. The weak spots are the two front corners to either side of the bulk head, and the tail gate. You could probably take some time with a little strategic extra weather stripping, and get it reasonably water resistant. As it sits, I fully expect water getting in at the bulkhead and tail gate, but it should drip down under the bed mat and out the back.
This guy took it through a car wash. That’s about what I would expect. See 19:30 https://youtu.be/Uat7CIFzye8

 

Biggest OEM issue I have experienced, is the engine air filter. Tried a FRAM, and a few other brands, and all of them choked the engine. Only because the dealer here did not have an OEM filter in stock at the time.

Brutal loss of power. I have never experienced that before in 35 years with 4 different 4x4's. It was just sucking on high elevation climbs. So badly that I was putting my dirty OEM filter back in mid-trip and it performed better than a clean after market filter.

So I was finally able to get a new OEM engine air filter, and bingo the problem was solved. Back to normal performance. The other filters I assume are just too dense and restrict the air flow. Same as your home A/C and furnace system. You put in too dense of a furnace filter, and it restricts air flow and eventually wears on the furnace motor.
