What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed interior LED lights and gas cap holder.

 

Rolled 20k today.

 

I did indeed. Had been shopping online mostly, and checked out at a few in person last week, but none of them did it for me. I was starting to get frustrated with the process. On the way home late one Saturday evening, I got the notion to drive through the lot of a nearby dealer and found this one sitting on the lot; I hadn't seen it online at that point. I fell in love with the color, and the condition, mileage, and price beat everything I'd seen previously. It was a long 30-some hours waiting for the dealer to open the following Monday.

Really happy with it. I suppose I just can't help myself adding some things to make it "mine"; it's all been the same stuff I did to my last Taco so far.

 

What are you doing to get 24mpg?

I’m “only” on 33s and I get 14. I can’t imagine a couple hundred lbs from my front bumper and winch are making THAT much of a difference.

 

Bed stickers removed and truck washed

 

My dad and I installed some sliders today. My first real mod!

 

Adding this to the to-do list. Which mirror did you get from Bob's automotive? And did you need the adapter? I'm assuming it's literally plug and play? Looks slick!

 

I purchased this one:

Go there and read the Red Text regarding the adapter. I was fortunate to not need it.

Yes, very simple plug and play.

 

Has anyone installed one of these Overhead Hex racks ?

Yes, MESO makes them

well, I have the version before the hex rack*

 

I ordered and received a bedrug tailgate mat. I thought I did a good search before buying. Am quite disappointed as the mat does not cover all the tailgate. It covers 9" of the inside portion but there are holes that you attach it using the existing gate screws. Leaves about 3" of uncovered plastic. Sent a note to bedrug and they said that's the only option. If I'd known I would have bought something else.

 

clay bar?

 

^ This. Have used

$23 Mothers 07240 California Gold Clay Bar System

Mother's Clay Bar kit to remove overspray on several vehicles. Leaves the surface as smooth as a babe's behind. Follow up with a good coat of Carnauba wax and you'll be good. Warning though... once you feel the glassy-smooth surface, you'll want to do the entire truck. Just sayin'.

 

Crooks can swipe the code anywhere.

 

Got my order in for the wireless charger TSB. Will post back results to see if anything else gets damaged lol

 

Well that’s good to know. Do you have a pic?

 

I have the version designed to fit models with sunroofs and absolutely love it!! Difficult to go wrong with Meso products.

 

although I am a huge meso purchaser - bought the version for the double cab and sent it back. I rarely sand shit back.

the jam / compression nuts are junk and spun so impossible to tighten. Others with same complaint out there, but maybe I am part of an unlucky few. Who knows but I am very mechanically inclined and rarely have an issue these sorts of things.

that said meso took it back and refunded no questions asked and were very cool about that.

 

I'm currently 100% stock and those are 24.8 highway miles doing probably 70mph. MPGs seemed to have gotten better over the summer too.

 

That sucks! Thankfully, I did not encounter any issues inserting the compression nuts or installing the part.
