What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

carcass removed already so the kid wont think I am a murderer

a bird strike and the whole f'in wing was under the fog light cover (wtf) so had to do some prying to get the hitch hiker off my truck after it got a 500 mile free ride....services pending

next bug removal.......and the truck got better mpg going from denver to new mexico verses new mex to the mountains so the mpg engineers can give a 5 paragraph reply

 

On a side note? How big is the tornado shelter? Would like info on it for future plans. Thanks.

 

It's from my Arabian horse .....don't you see him in the background?

 

Love my tires you say? Penny for your thoughts?

 

After sitting on the garage shelf for 21 months I finally decided to install my front SumoSprings

 

Finally installed the MillerCat shield. Had it for months but wasn’t in a big hurry since it’s primarily safe at night.

 

Hey nice you got it done! Don’t feel bad I’ve had a few small items on my to do list for about two years, and I just lost my Taco! (Guess everything will be ready for the next Taco!)

 

Continued to detail my Tacoma.

 

So I'm back in the 3rd gen game. It's a bittersweet thing, but I sold my old hilux (and honda 300 fourtrax) to get my tacoma back on the road. Took some haggling to do it, but I had to get a new ECM and other odds and ends. The truck is in a sad state of affairs, but new parts are on the way. Cost me almost $12k but then I realized, I custom ordered this truck in 2019, paid $47 and have dropped at least $20k over the years. I've got too much skin in the game to quit now. Pics are soon to follow..

 

What happened to it that it took $12K in parts to get it back on the road??

 

Thanks for the info!

 

I can't imagine having to prepare for that, but I suppose it becomes normal after a while.

You don't need it to say Toyota...just
Pilkington

 

Had my windshield replaced earlier this week. I asked about OEM replacement glass and they told me that it was currently on indefinite backorder for Tacomas. Ended up with Pilkington. Hopefully the Pilkington lasts longer than the previous OEM windshield.

 

ECM, harness, 4wd computer, 28 sensors etc. All electrical pretty much. Fuel system absolutely fried the circuitry and logged hard data to memory which kept trying to reset and smoked it

 

If you ever wondered if a box of siding would fit through the back window of your Taco, well now you know.
Billiebars were handy in supporting the 12' box as it drooped over the tailgate.

 

Yiiiikes that sucks!

 

Glad you were able to get it to fit!

 

Got the tent finally put on! Thank you REI and your 20% off codes.

 

Not mine, but helping my buddy on his 3rd gen. 05+ superduty front axle, got coilovers and bypasses fit in
