What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

it might be these.. I never thought to check HF.

 

Much appreciated! The wheels are 17" FN Pro FX wheels. No lift at all, fully stock suspension. Just upped the tire size slightly to 265/70/17 Wildpeaks.

 

The mod bug is a real thing, lol.

I’ve got a TRD Skid plate on order, should be the finishing touch.

 

thanks a lot!

 

I don't either, but metal can fatigue and fail too
I have Race ramps, solid foam inside

 

Washed it and removed the TRD OR decal.

 

Yall are making me wonder if I need ramps. I'm a fat fuck, but I can still squeeze underneath my truck.

 

something about trusting harbor freight to not let me get crushed to death... not for me

 

Have used rhino ramps for many years. Have never questioned their integrity to hold vehicle weights.

 

Late to the reply.

I bought them at Harbor Freight 4-5 years ago. As you can see, I hardly used them before I bought my Taco. lol

 

Fresh coat of paint on the bumpers from @OmahTako taking my time and plan on mounting next weekend

fun fact, olive oil removes oil based paint from your hands!!!

 

That rear bumper looks interesting.

 

I have been thinking of getting ramps for the wife’s Camry and doing the oil changes on it. I’m just undecided since in my 51 years I have never needed them. I could save some money by doing them myself.

 

it wraps around the stock one which is why I wanted it. It has holes to relocate the BSM sensors too

 

I’ve never seen anything like that. I can’t wait until next weekend to see pics.

 

if you do decide to get ramps, get those low approach angle ramps, the new Camry, Corolla, Prius etc have such long and low over hang now

 

Don't get the steel ramps I bought from HF. I tried to drive my wife's Elantra but the angle wouldn't allow the tires to meet the ramp because of the low front end.

 

Pinned the transmission thermostat open in preparation for shenanigans next week. I used a 1.6mm dia. stainless R-pin.

 

avid off-road is the brand. I thought the same thing when I saw it. The gentleman I bought it from, @OmahTako , was getting rid of his truck and gave me a deal on both I couldn’t refuse. Threw in the paint for free too.

 

Drove thru the Florida wildlife corridor for 250 miles from big bend to the panhandle creeks and saw 20-25 Tacoma's of all ages doing just fine.
Tomorrow, we head back south along the Gulf.
