What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

some kind of BFG/TOYO hybrid tire?

 

Here is a link with details https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...et-the-mods-begin.811765/page-2#post-29118117

 

I have found the Avalon King Products stood up against any do-it-yourself products on the market especially for the price.

 

I have had mine for about a year and love it most days...Just have to be careful on the really hot days.

 

I keep mine tucked in too, with the dog seat belt poking through. And the velcro sealed up tight. Don't really want to be figuring out how to get dog puke out of a seat belt. But now that I think about it, she has never gotten sick since I got my full protector. Maybe it's like a cocoon for her, or being able to lay down completely helps? Or maybe I drive smoother than my wife

 

You can't be forced...but could be coerced if you need/want the truck. Now I'm glad I don't live in the Southeast with a distributor that adds all that.
The XY900 is interesting...you get 3 oil changes, 6 tire rotations, and roadside assistance from Toyota anyway.

It's just a markup that provides some value; we've had that conversation before. I think it's bad for the brand when dealers or distributors go over the top. Give me a decent product at a fair price and I'm happy to let them make money. But that excess makes me grumpy.
A bit off topic, but now even windshields are being priced like college tuition and healthcare. We took the RAV4 in for a new windshield and the "price" is $1240, reduced to $600 with insurance (we paid the deductible; not all that). I wonder what a windshield + recalibration is if I walk in off the street and try to negotiate. My Tacoma needs one too but I'm waiting; all the cracks are on the pax side and winter is coming so it's not worth it.

 

I'm 100% a Browns fan.

 

I vote for all of the above.

 

Don't say that to loud in Pittsburgh!
The Browns did look good this past weekend.

 

I had the OEM tailgate actuator and wiring installed today. All I can say is wow, not sure why this wasn't done from the factory, but being able to lock the tailgate with the truck is AWESOME!

I had Raptor lights installed that can be set to any color I want them from Roxmad. I also had the Trail Grid Pro anytime front/rear camera installed but the harness was bad. If the wiring harness moved, the front camera pic went out. Something to do with the yellow RCA's. So I'm waiting on Trail Grid Pro to reply to email.

Now the truck is at another shop for the phantom factory alarm issue.

 

We have two pitbulls and I bought these https://www.canvasback.com/toyota-tacoma-door-covers.html several months ago. They have been great for keeping paws and drool off the doors.

That looks really good. Color match!

 

I like those blacked out OR wheels on bigger tires. Changes the look significantly

 

Nice back seat cover, where did you purchase it from, i need one too. i have a furry malamute.

 

I got mine from Amazon Dog Car Seat Cover for Back Seat...

Question for anyone that has currently or in the past had blue suma mirrors. Are the blue ones better and worth it? And then with the blue ones, do inspection locatiom give you hassle from discolored mirrors? I have them in the cart ready to purchase, just wanted to ask a few questions first.

 

I have them on both my tacos, they are awesome. No issues with state inspection, They are similar to what you get on bmw etc. They really cut down bright lights.

 

Sounds good. Thats really all the confirmation i needed! Shall be purchased today!

 

Btw my second gen are Suma, for my 3rd gen I got them from taco clout because cheaper and used code “Mumfy” for additional off. Also I didn’t like the turn signal on the 3rd gen Suma style. I took my bsm leds out of factory mirrors and put those in the taco clouts too, if that makes sense.
