What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Loud and clear. Did you consider rebuilding your OEM with new bushings and ball joint? I'm curious because I think my bushings are shot on driver side so I'm considering rebuild or replacement.

 

Install took like 10 mins. Took it for a drive and feels like the truck is smoother and picks up faster. I have the trd air accelerator, trd filter and sprint booster

 

I did consider rebuilding them with the Whiteline bushings that I saw talked about in other TW forums https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...lacement-2005-tacoma-4x4-the-easy-way.437693/ but I was honestly a little hesitant to attempt this method out of fear of injury and the cut out method for the amount of time involved. If I had more time on my hands I probably would've attempted a rebuild, but I just have other house projects that I also need to get done and a trip coming up.

 

The TRD air flow accelerator really helps this type of device reach its full potential.

 

Got my Taco a lil trailer homie so we can do truck stuff, like hauling lumber, again.

 

That was a good read; thanks. I don't carry a hi-lift jack at this time, but it's important information to have because I will see some of them on the trails.

 

New grill installed today. Found a great you tube someone posted for the install. Super easy and I think really looks good on the truck. Yes not the Pro version as the letters are gold. And the garnish is Amazon recommended one but will see how it works tomorrow. Overall think it looks awesome.

 

Washed it today. Also installed the sound deadening on the drivers side door.
No pics
I'll take some of the passenger and rear seat area

 

Wash, Ceramic Coat, washed all the floor mats and did some paint touch up

 

Sure does look good!

My off-brand grill/garnish has worked well in 6+ months.

I test the DRCC and LDA every time I get on the highway.

 

Didn’t work there. Put them high and inboard for both side view morris

 

Appreciate it man.

 

Installed the air intake flow accelerator. I think this is one best cheap mods I've done to my truck. Also I found it online cheaper (with shipping) then it was at my local dealership.

I get it. Not their biggest fan either but a $250 deductible is better than $2200 out of pocket. Here’s hoping my rates don’t go up.

 

Thanks. Been an eventful 2023.

 

Thought I would waste some $$$ but it looks cool to me

Interesting. Thanks. BirdNet is from the same Lab I believe, but I must try it.

Have to admit, I don't get the reference... Normally I'm a quick study. Can you spell it out for me?

 

Looking good!
