What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

New rubber all around. Falkens had close to 60k on them. Went with Toyo Open Country AT3 this time around.

 

Its definitely annoying without it. I hate having to use the garage clicker and finding a place for it.

I didnt like the clicker clipped to the visor

I got mine from Bob's Automotive Mirrors on ebay. But they do have a website you can order them from directly also.

That is a perfect sized box for what I am interested in but that price is absurd lol

 

Fast and Furious fans?

 

Excellent, thanks!

I discovered that the Chamberlain garage door opener for ours so happens to wedge/fit perfectly in the center console, so it's not terribly annoying but I have to reach down and blindly hunt a little bit to find it each time. I've gotten used to the Homelink mirror button over the years. First vehicle I've had that didn't have it in a long, long time.

Thanks again!

 

Random piece of rubber on the road hit my bumper and cracked my headlight. Obviously, this meant I had no choice but to upgrade to LEDs

 

Your dog ate your homework often when you were a child, I assume.

 

@Tnc nice tire purchase. Are the wheels the Level 8 MK6?

 

Happiness is a freshly waxed Taco. Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax. Doesn’t protect as long as some other waxes, but gives a deep shine. When I use it up I’ll probably try something else.

 

I thought about cleaning it. Then I decided to leave it dirty. Maybe I'll post up some pics of it washed this week.

 

Thanks for the tip. I like that those are out of the bed area and are "hidden".

 

I went a different route and did this Garage Opener Mod, routed to a factory looking switch. Put the opener behind the dash.

Looks good! Great mod right there.

 

Looks great…love the black

 

Replaced the chrome bumper arms with the TRD pro arms it looks so much better !
Also removed the 4x4 and limited badges and blacked out my tailgate handle and the Tundra badges

 

Yes sir. Took awhile to find them. I’m not sure they make them anymore.

 

Been a while since I posted, been distracted with life and the little cars and such. I used to have a hitchgate (Wilco), hated it. The pin was just terrible to deal with for me. Plus I don’t have oversized tires so I can keep a spare underneath so with the gate I was carrying a second spare, which I did like. Especially in the early pandemic, I utilized any excuse to stay away from people. Anyway I bought it used and sold it for the same amount, and have since been trying to figure out a way to hold my trash backpack. Voila, harbor freight bike rack. $40 well spent and can still bring bikes too. Honestly I don’t hate it.

 

Strange way to spell TACOMA . . .

 

Blonde hair, blue eyes, likes Tacomas, doesn’t like her photograph posted online. Up to you to imagine the rest.

(and…I don’t know how to upload photos from my phone….)

 

Good for snow, not as good as the Michelins for ice.

For your elevation and colder winters and deep snow, I would expect they would be good. I have them on stock 16 inch black steel rims.

This pic is early spring deep wet snow, so they struggled in this but then I was driving on deeply rutted tracks, or no track at all .

They were good in mid winter city driving on deep snow when it was below zero. No tires really any good in deep wet snow. Colder = better grip. Warmer = hold on to your horses and pray.

Much better than my KO2 e rated tires in snow, which are not really good at all. On ice those are like skates.
