What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey, is that knob about the size of a Pomelo, or a small watermelon? It looks huge.

 

Would be an 11 hour drive from Tampa, FL area for me.

 

Did you take the knobs off?

 

Someone got a sweet well taken care of Tacoma
So I traded in my 2008 Tacoma for a 2020 model. Whoever bought mine sure got a truck that had been taken care of. The entire 14 1/2 years I owned it I only spent $350 on repairs!!! It needed a front hub after 10 years or so, the latch on the center console broke and I had to change out the blower resistor assembly. Everything else was maintenance except for a couple of recalls. The rear springs had been replaced 3 times under warranty/recall. I had a 2nd gear shutter and they said it was a loose u-joint but they don't change u-joints, we must replace the entire driveshaft. I paid $1385 for that repair but a few months later got a recall on said parts and I had dotted all my "i's" and crossed all my "t's" and sent in the information where I had the driveshaft replaced. Lo and behold a check for $1385 showed up.

I personally changed the oil, filter, and washer at 5K miles. I kept every washer in a zip lock bag. Did an extensive Maintenance record as well and when I traded in the truck I left the Maintenance record and the zip lock full of (49) washers to prove the oil had been changed regularly. I am hoping whoever bought the truck got to see all of that so they will have peace of mind about their new to them truck.

 

got the 10k service today at the dealer with a lame car wash ........the oem fender flares dont like to come clean

 

I’ve had trail rash on my fenders, doors and bed panels which 3M scratch remover works great other than the fender flares. I don’t recall who the member was here here but apparently there’s a conditioner/restorer for the fender flare material. I’ll see if I can locate it for you. My fender flares still have some trail rash but I was happy to eliminate the body trail rash and protect the clear coat. I’ll let you know when I find it.

 

Examples of the trail rash mentioned earlier….

 

we only hear about the bad experiences at the dealers, not the millions that have no problems......and I'm not going to wrestle with that damn oil filter

 

Finally got to installing my MESO "ultimate 3rd brake light" today

 

the mud spots on the ff's dont seem to just wash off in the touchless wash so I will have to try to scrubb em with a rag or soft brush

 

Love this! What grille?

 

I’m actually in Ga. South of Atl. So it’s a 4 hour drive for me. I was up for a family reunion. Unfortunately I don’t get up there as much as I’d like to.

 

Installed:

SSO full plate bumper- Warn Winch - Two 30" Baja Designs light bars.

Stoked!

 

This looks awesome! I really like this bumper. What size tires and lift are you running?

 

Those are definitely awesome. Looked on the site and they just make them for the ATs, so I put a request in for a MT set.

 

Just got an email back, no love for the MT’s and they won’t make a set.

 

If what you had on weren’t snow tires. I don’t think I cwanna see what you use! Lol

 

So I ordered the cheapest set of 6x9’s an 6x 5’s I could find. (45 bucks) and another 45 on the wire adapters and mounting brackets.
