What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If I see something I like I buy it regardless of whos selling it.

Thanks to my own hustle, money isnt a worry.

Let the kid hustle and do what he does. Dont let it bother you so much that your blood is boiling over him. Whats the point? They're going to sell the shit out of everything while you sit at your computer and cry about it to people who dont care about your opinion.


Its been fun, stay woke Emilio.

 

Not mine. Don’t own a Tacoma. Just wanted to log in to share this beast! Context - it’s weapons going to Ukraine

 

Badass

 

Your shift knob on backwards?
NVM Isee you got it turned around.

 

LMAO!

 

"stay woke" haha

 

Hey Casey, I have the Bilstein 6112s up front (6/5 setting), 5160s and Icon RXT (Stage 1) in the rear, with 275/70/17 Falkens. It’s perfect for me, almost level with a little bit of positive rake.

 

You quoted @Boogeyman but it’s my truck in the top photo that he quoted in his post. Yes, I have the OEM roof rack, bought it used from a member on here. It’s functional, the bars swing out/across when in use or stow away when not needed. The bars are a lighter gauge aluminum, rated for 250lbs if I remember correctly. I loaded two tandem kayaks on it one time and it was definitely maxed out. If you’re just looking for aesthetics, it’s good but if you plan to carry much weight, I would suggest going the full rack route instead (Prinsu, UpTop, other). I’m about 50% on switching it up and going that route myself.

 

I learned my truck has bluetooth and I can listen to music on my radio wirelessly from my phone. I've only had it 15 months

 

Did Cole show you how to work it?

 

You're making my day off to take wife's Elantra to the dealership for maintenance and get shuttled home to do laundry, a fun day so far! (Wife said, since you're home, can you do a load of laundry?)

Welcome to world of remarkable technology. lol

I also just got a text from the dealership that recommends the following:

Wiper Blades
Rear Drun Brake clean/adjust (This Elantra has rear drums)
Tire Balance
4-Wheel Alignment
EFI Service (Fuel Injection Clean)
Cabin Air Replacement

 

Just my 2c.

Wiper Blades
I have a Kia and some wiper blades are just not available as a generic size that you can purchase at a automotive parts store.
Rear Drum Brake clean/adjust (This Elantra has rear drums)/ Tire Balance
Do the tires show any uneven wear? Do you rotate periodically already?
4-Wheel Alignment
Same questions as above.
EFI Service (Fuel Injection Clean)
I use a product called Seafoam about 1x per year. I put 25% in the oil a few weeks before an oil change and the rest in the fuel tank. This has worked for me so far.
Cabin Air Replacement
This you can order online and do yourself I'm sure.

 

Yes, I can.

I'm choosing to let the dealership we bought her car from take care of it.

The Service Rep was there when we bought wife's car so we have rapport. She's always assisted with rebates and other nice complimentary things.

Plus, my wife's paying for this...since it's her car.

I do the oil changes on Dover AFB Auto Hobby Shop and rotate tires.

Wife drives wayyyy differently than I do.

It's a 2017 Elantra and she barely has 36K miles on it.

 

Going to get a lot of life out of that Elantra. My Kia Forte5 SX has 115000klms on it already. It gets used a lot since fuel consumption is 2/3 of what the Taco uses.

 

That little 2017 Elantra's 2.0L engine is robust compared to the 2004 Elantra we traded in when we bought it.

It's got bluetooth, AppleCarPlay, sunroof (never leaked), dual climate control, heated seats, driver power seat...Eco and Sport driving modes.

She originally wanted a Civic but a comparable one didn't even come with sunroof or power seat.

I love driving her car!

To keep with the Thread Topic...my next install are the Bushwacker Fender Flares.

 

Went back to the bed stickers. All black.

 

Notice any improvement after the pool noodle mod?
