What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

nicest bed stiffeners out there but after installing mine they started rusting at spots where the powder coat wasn't applied properly. I had to clean and coat those areas to prevent rusting - keep a close eye on the joints.

 

Lol…love the box on the gray one I want to get a box but I need a tonneau cover. I always had Jeep Cherokee’s before this and my Tacoma carry’s so much more and for moving kids in and out of apartments it has been a God send

 

Tunes work still using 87 gas?

I went by a local wrap shop last week, and took my front emblem. They are supposed to send me an image to approve tomorrow or Wednesday.

 

Detailed the engine compartment fluids lid labeling and min max levels.

 

As a guy whose eyers are getting older, I can appreciate the concept, but that takes OCD to a whole new level.

 

My '89 had about 225k on it when I sold it (my old mechanic said it was still running around town a few years back) and my '99 made it to 310k. The '16 only has 85k.

 

Like a lot of others here, I took advantage of the Memorial Day discount @RCI and got a set of bed stiffeners and an engine skid plate (steel powder coated). FedEx $70. 2 pieces due on June 1. Received 2 of 2 on June 1 (stiffeners) and shipping notes stated 1 of 2 not delivered due to 'delivery exception'. Well, here we go! So I just kept checking the shipping notes daily and saw item was taken back to terminal for 'inspection' and was finally sent back out today. This is what I got:

All four corners busted open and tape added. We know stuff gets tossed around during shipping, but what is going to happen when you put a 45lb sheet of steel in a cardboard box with nothing supporting the corners of the steel? I don't want to be an AH about this but come on! I'm going to have to touch up the plate where the powder coat has rubbed off. I have notified the manufacturer (objectively) that improvements could be make to packaging to make damage less likely. They seem like quality pieces, but if I was going to order rock sliders and have them shipped, forget that now. YMMV
BTW that circle on the box that looks like a butt with a string coming out of it is actually the number 37 turned sideways. I think. Who the f knows.

 

I have nothing but problems with Fedex. Every single time I have something shipped to me by them the package is days late and damaged. I have no problems with UPS or USPS , even DHL rocks. Just freaking FedEx.

 

Sliders are typically shipped on a pallet, at least mine were, and required pickup at UPS Freight.

 

I have the opposite going on at my location. UPS is the worst, and FedEx is usually the best. Go figure.

 

Some of the roads in NC will cause pitting of the windshield. My truck windshield is pitted as well.

 

I am on the same schedule and it has been proven over time to work well.

 

Same exact problem. When the sun hits my windshield just right it looks like it's covered in tiny specks. I thought it might have been coated or sealed with something, but I've scraped it with a razor blade and it's just the glass. With the exception of a few tiny rock chips, it's as smooth as, well, glass otherwise. Used to live in the desert and have had pitted windshields from sand storms. This is something different. It's almost as if the glass is defective. Really annoying if the light hits it right. Thinking about getting it replaced and I'd like OEM glass, but if it's going to be the same issue, maybe not.

Anyone else encounter this?

 

My old Jeep was the same way. Definitely worth the replacement, IMO.

 

So it turned out to be in the glass itself? Strange.

Also didn't know about the whole recalibration thing.

 

Ya, it was pitted from rocks, sand, etc.

Also… most insurance companies will replace the windshield for free…. If it’s damaged.

 

Damn, my '16 Limited only has 6882 miles. Yes, that's correct, no missing digit. Have work vehicle that I drive daily, and work most days, so Yota stays in the garage most days.

 

Hi Neighbor.
I like those tail lamps what brand are they?

 

Were your oem head lights LED and if so are you planning on selling them?
