What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Actually that is the factory recovery hook. The driver side eyelet is for strapping the front end down when towing it on a trailer.

 

Curious did you go with the C rated or the E? I have the Falken Wildpeaks but they only came in SL and E. I got SL to save some weight. I only offroad about 4-5 times per year on easier trails so I felt like E was overkill. Considering what you got in a C rated next go around.

 

Morimotos are in!! Looking good. 2 hr install. Definitely could have used an extra pair of hands but managed. Not getting a start up sequence but honestly don’t care. Reached out to Morimoto to see what’s going on. Very Stoked!

 

Some pinch weld bending this afternoon.

 

Sorry it isn't. It is a "Tow Hook", not a recovery point. Look it up. I'm saving him grief down the road from either property damage or person injury or death.

 

Had both my driver side wheel caps jacked

 

Man that sucks, what a pain in the a$$!

 

Wtf

 

Who does that? Guess I live in a bubble. Think they needed them for their truck or will they show up on Craigslist/eBay/Facebook/WTFever?

 

...its so petty

 

Atleast they didn’t steal your catalytic converter. Still sucks though. I don’t like to use the word hate because it projects ignorance but I’ll use it for thieves. They suck

 

Stainless t slot hardware arrived so I permanently Mounted the Maxi trac/napa 8' awning I grabbed this week.

 

“Thank you for placing your order with Bullet Proof Fabricating!”

Be here soon.

 

Peculiar story/situation. I went to Discount Tire in Renton, Washington having called ahead to order five P265/70/R16 tires. Didn't feel I needed anything more robust. But wanted to upsize a tad from the smaller stock tires that came with the truck. Heck, with gas so affordable nowadays...why not GO BIGGER? Arrived at store and read a good book for an hour or so until informed my 2022 Access Cab was ready to drive away. Went outside and told the crew how overjoyed I was with the look, and future function I knew I could expect from this tire. On the drive home I was impressed with the handling and ZERO noise. No, I did not have the stereo on nor were my windows open allowing air to cancel any tire noise. The ride was smooth the 12 miles or so home. Got out of the vehicle and realized- damn that truck has some nice new boots on it now!

To say that I am excited and looking forward to heading over the passes to the Lake Wenatchee area and driving some back roads, as well, go on a backpacking trip in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness for 3 days is an under statement. Now I'll get a chance to see what my $$$ just bought me.

However, two hours after arriving home my cell rings and it's the service manager at Discount profusely apologetic informing me how his crew had screwed up and put the wrong tires on the truck. Huh?

He tells me I have LT265/75R16's. Load range E, 123/120Q something. I played dumb and ignorant knowing full well that what I had was a better ($$$) truck tire than that which I had ordered. I told the manager that these "LOOKED" just fine and that if it was ok with him I'd just as soon not drive back and wait another hour for the swap. His response made it seem as if he was relieved by my request to keep the tires he put on since he immediately explained that it was THEIR mistake and that if I liked the tires I could keep them. No issues at all. Hm, I'm not the brightest guy in King County but it seemed a NO BRAINER! Especially since I tow a trailer full of firewood a few times per year to heat a cabin. Ah, well, I'll keep what you put on Mr. Service Manger. Thank you. Have a nice day Sir.

What's more, he had also purchased all 5 of my stock tires that only had 16,000 miles on them, the spare never having been used with no miles on it. One thing I'll say about Discount Tire...they deliver! GO BIG or GO HOME! So long Les Schwab-greetings and salutations-Discount Tire!

 

Spod controller for lights. I love these things, used them on all my trucks. Cleanest and most compact kit.

 

exactly my question.

 

That's a bummer. I have those door switch trim panels for sale on the bst. If you want, pm me and I'll cut you a good deal.

 

Bummer.

Why are your front hubs rusty? They look different than the hubs on my truck (mine are exposed all the time). Maybe you have a 2WD?

 

Whew! Glad that trim is separate from the door panel for CavalBlueTaco’s sake!

 

Installed the Meso door handle covers and Rav4 mirrors that I bought of @Roadkill1081 .
Replacing those mirrors made me nervous, but all turned out well.
