What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

New wheels and a supercharger

 

Tundras don't hold their value quite as well as Tacos where we live. Although they do hold their value far more than the Big 3 could ever hope for. Came from a 1st Gen, then 2nd Gen Tundra. Was going to get a newer one as well, but thought I'd give the Tacoma a chance. I do miss the Tundra's size, power, ride (rode like a Barcalounger) cargo space and some other things. It's certainly easier to maneuver the Taco, parking's a breeze by comparison (although mileage isn't much better). Overall it's easier to do most things with the Taco. And dogonit, the Taco can just be fun to drive. However now and again I also cast a longing eye at its bigger sibling.

 

Just got mine tuned this weekend as well! Had to do Spicy and very spicy due to my RTT. The best investment on my Taco so far!

 

That’s Awesome man !! I feel the same way even with my medium/spicy tune it was perfect for my truck and mods. Right next to my lift definitely my best mod to date also.

 

Changed out the boring oem pedal pads for that extra +5 hp sport pedals. All kidding aside, had to convert the gas pedal to metal as well. Spent more $ than I wanted to on research/ trial and error, but I didn't want to deviate from OEM fit and finish

Now it matches my other car's pedals!

 

I’ve had a few people mock me w/ ‘Nice Raptor! Lolz!’ until I’m like ‘Ehh, it’s a 30” light bar, dummy. One of two tucked in there, actually.’

 

Not likely. You know you don’t really wanna trade in your taco. What is gonna tow your tiny trailer?

 

I didn't realize oil filters came in fruit flavors!

 

Nice! I’ve had my eyes on AGP wheels as of late.

 

Me either. Anyone else receive a bright orange filter recently?

If I didn’t buy it from a Toyota dealership I’d be very suspicious

 

Maybe at the filter factory… it’s the end of the roll of filter paper, so it’s a warning to change it out.

 

I found a thread on here. It’s normal. All the new filters are orange now

 

So far super impressed!

 

Ear candy

 

I got nearly 55k out of my last set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers and tbh they’ve got tread left for another 15-20k so I kept all 4

 

That little voice in the back of my head keeps saying... "John, don't go there"

 

Can you share where you got these pedals? Are they came from another Toyota car? I am hoping to buy the one from the new Tacoma model.

 

Back at the dealer again for rear axle leaking. They discovered a cracked weld.

Looks like I’ll have a whole new housing.

Waiting for Toyota approval.

 

WOW. Good catch.

 

At first they said it’s just left over oil from last visit.

Then after a few minutes they come back and found the crack.
