What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You should have just bought a different trim level. The whole point of the Off Road trim is that it flexes--on road too.

 

There TV ads for something called "Pooph" that supposedly braks down the compounds that stink at a molecular level. Just saying ...

 

My 21 off-road came with the color keyed bumper.

 

Take the check and get a steel high clearance bumper and winch!

 

truck run/sound different? 35mpg?

 

I’m well aware of the differences….most importantly, the transmission dictated the truck I got. I did look for sports but couldn’t find any I wanted. Sports also ride very rough. So I’m happy with what I have. I like the soft ride of the offroad suspension combined with the firm handling of the thicker sway bar.

 

Put a bowl of baking soda in the center of the interior, i.e., the center arm rest overnight with the windows up. Baking soda will absorb the odor.

 

cat in the cab-no......cat in a box in the bed-yes

cats disappear all the time

 

49k!? We’re you upside down on your trade-in?

 

I love mine. She needs the powah just to tow herself! Removed the mid cat. Did the URD mid Y pipe. Fits with the flat skid plates and seems to let the engine breath a bit better. She runs like a champ on the interstate at elevation doing 70-80mph uphill all day. Just as comfortable and capable off road. The SC is good for 100k before maintenance, so even if I have to service the engine and the SC every 100k then its probably worth it IMO.

 

I’ll try this tomorrow. Great idea

 

I also have an Access cab with long box and don't think I could do any real truck work having considerably less cargo area. When camping I fill the box and load lots of stuff on top for myself, spouse and lab.

 

Hopefully it helps.

 

Added some 315/70/17’s

 

I should have been more specific. The chrome bumper is standard on the OR, and color-keyed bumper on the Sport. But if you get the technology package as an option then the color-keyed bumper is added as part of the package on the OR.

 

Mine doesn’t have the technology package. There’s just so many variations on the packages it hard to track.

 

Really, our fairly new to us rescue cat just did his 1st road trip, around 750 miles with no problems

 

I am in Canada, my 22 OR no tech package came with color match bumper caps

 

How was the install/ initial impressions on the quality difference between the two? I'm debating on doing it to mine.

 

there always hope?

I backed my Tacoma into my narrow 1 car garage, which has 2-3 inches travel at most on either side from the mirrors. I am trying to get better at backing up as this beast has a hell of a blind cross-travel path in the back compared to my Corolla. Since I was getting batter at reverse, I thought I would try it. So much easier exiting front-direction ...
