What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

damn.

Don't drive it this weekend.

 

Bummer! Curious if the car wash is compensating you for bug deflector? Generally, what was their attitude?

Main car wash in my area has all sorts of disclaimers where they basically say they won't take responsibility for anything.

 

Finally got around to doing the accumulator disk mod, installed a Miller CatShield, and removed the 'predator' steps that were on the truck when I bought it.

Can anyone tell me if the bolts that secure the steps come with the steps or the truck? I'm guessing if they come with the steps that there should be some plugs or something to keep crud out of the threaded holes? TIA.

 

The guy working at the gas station was super nice about it and said since it was a sensor failure in the wash, for keeping the door open, it should be covered.
I have been using their car washes regularly for over a decade with no problems.

It all has to go through corporate so hopefully early next week they will contact me.
I'm just glad it didn't dent my hood.

 

The hardware goes with the steps. There are small black plastic plugs that go into those holes on the body. Toyota part number 90467-A0014. You'll need a dozen (six per side), and they're about a buck a pop IIRC.

 

Who makes that tote rack?

 

Thanks for the info!

 

I knows it’s cheesy, but I added the TACOMA black letters to the tail gate.

 

Gonna be unpopular, but: Pull the pin and put it in the bed for god's sake! (You pulled it out of the receiver anyway!) Why leave it out where it can cause damage to shins, bumpers, etc. and more damage when there is just a minor impact. I've always been in favor of this being a misdemeanor, ticketable offense.

 

New wheels acquired...
Method 703 16x8

 

Thanks. They are 265/75/16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac.

 

Yeah the TRD lift. 2 front 1 rear.

 

I don't leave my hitch in mostly because I have 2x sizes for different trailers. I have this in when not towing.

 

Cut off the Definitely-Not-A-Gas-Cap-Holder lanyard.

 

How about Cement on Cement:

This is after wheels were freshly painted. They are a little lighter now and match 1H5 about dead on.

 

I’ve had front and rear BAMF bumpers sitting around for months! Finally had time yesterday to get the rear put on

 

loving the progress!

 

New tires. Nothing brave. 265/75/16 KO2s.

 

That looks sexy!

I have Fendy Flares and lookin' to get some pokey...these look good!

 

Not cheese! It needs a color pop back there
