What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I chopped it on the trail to get some air flow. Ears were definitely ringing after the 4 hour drive home lol

 

Just purchased the Motivx oil-change adapter and drain tube.

Preparing for the next oil change ... a question ... what brand of oil do people like or at least can trust? I read often here you cannot go wrong with Toyota dealership purchase of oil, even if other brands may be a little less expensive.

 

I use Amsoil.

 

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. Easier to get than Amsoil and cheaper.

 

That looks good, love the QS.

 

Niiice those are going to look good

 

Use the same in all of our vehicles. Nothing wrong with Amsoil, but

$28 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic 0W-20 Motor Oil, 5 Quart

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Full Synthetic was about equal in all of the tests I could find a few years ago and superior to all of the other synthetics... and less expensive.

 

Just started using Royal Purple. Cheaper than Penzoil Platinum( which is great but walmart stopped selling in my area even online) so I just order a 5qt +1qt from Walmart and its free delivery in a day or so it's $37 for the 5qt and like $8 for the 1qt.

Only 1500 miles so far but it's doing great and .......it's purple if you like that sort of thing.

-Amsoil is great too. I used that previously but it's just too much now. Like $14+ a qt. I'll still change my oil at 5-7k so it's not worth the cost to me now.

 

Installed the scangauge 3. Was going to go with the scangauge 2 because of the smaller size and abundance of locations it could be mounted to but the ability to update over WiFi won me over. In fact there were 2 newer versions of the software already available. I mounted it along with my spod touchscreen using ram mounts. 1 short arm attached to each screen, then a y-ball adapter attached to a medium arm. I already had the diamond base ram ball which I had bolted into the trim above the driver left vent and it’s pretty solid. Only moderately affects my view out. Gonna try it out for a few weeks to see if it’s something I like. Also hoping this will play well with an OBD splitter along with the SDI Eclik suspension because that’ll be what I go with later this year.

 

Put some mudflaps on today

 

Put the Z-Precision cupholder to use over the weekend.

 

omg that smoothy looks fantastic. Reminds me of a smoothy place we had at the beach in San Diego.

 

Got my truck back from the body shop yesterday.

Installed a Fab Fours bumper, which thanks to getting rear ended was free.

And today I installed Icon Rxt leaf pack on option 2 matched with some Dobinson shocks. Before I was sitting at 20 3/4" and the leafs had negative arch. Now I'm at 24" unloaded, I tossed 300lbs of sand in the bed to help break in the leafs. My target height is 23 1/2"

Next weekend I'm installing the front lift so it won't be so raked

 

Are you talking about the rear sway bar ?

 

There is no rear sway bar. These trucks only come with a front stock.

 

Wait I saw a picture of a Tacoma where someone installed hellwing rear sway bar and drop links

 

Anybody can install anything aftermarket, but they are not a factory option.

 

Added this to my truck recently. +5 HP!

 

Got a new grille badge.

 

Now that's funny
