What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yep... Fork out money for nature...I get it that people make messes and these natural habitats need to be maintained, beaches need to be patrolled, lifeguards need to get paid, but a season pass to the beach here in south Jersey is around $25 (town dependent). A day pass is $7. I leave the beach the way I found it.. I don't bury trash or make a mess. I see a lot of folks who feel entitled to leave a mess because "they paid for it".

It's these local towns/governments reaching into your pocket now at every opportunity and charging a lot of money to boot.

My wife and I were pulled out of the water by the game warden a few weeks ago and asked for fishing licenses .... I said we are kayaking.... Not fishing.....I don't even have a fishing pole. He said you have a fishing kayak and a net. You need a license . Luckily we were on our way back in anyhow.

I hear you though. Just to do basic stuff it seems like the average Joe is getting taxed to be on the water, beach, in the woods, on the trail, or in the hills. Nature for profit...what a racket.

 

It's really pretty random, very few officers and lots of people. I've only been kinda checked once, took some long time friends offshore fishing and caught a nice bluefin tuna, when I docked the boat, an officer came over and checked to see if we had tagged the tuna. He never asked to see any of our licenses.

There are two wildlife officers that live in my neighborhood, friends with both, they say there's way to many people to check, they usually only have time to check you if they see you do something wrong.

 

Lots of people get upset about the beach closures. I get it to a point, you've got to help protect wildlife. But, funny thing about the closures. A few years ago, the beach was closed due to the danger to the turtles with beach driving fishermen. Three turtles were run over that fall, two by game wardens! So, close the beach to protect against the public?

 

That sucks that happened to you. I was gonna say, if I go to Lowe's/Home Depot, I always park as far back as I can... like as SOON as I pull into their lot to avoid crap like this.

edit: Picked up a legit Pro grill from a buddy for $50, he also gave me his Hooke Road tailgate cover, got a good deal on

Love how your truck sits. Lookin good

 

Do they stay in place?

 

Awesome, I cannot wait for the 5th to get my OTT as well!!

 

You dont know what cars you have in your garage? Anyway, its a MK3 Toyota Supra, and I should have kept mine.

 

I was commenting on a photo of a car in a garage that I was unable to identify. Neither of which are mine.

 

If you guys haven't seen it:

 

Yes thanks, I saw this one and I am still undecided if I should go with mild/spicy or another variation. I guess I will wait to talk to the 'tuner' next month and have him help me decide.

 

LOL I work with her, I tried talking her into a KD Max tune... I love mine!!

 

@Dozer14

Mild/Spicy ECT is what I have and it is great!

Let us know what you decide and of course how you like it!

 

I would have him put on the different variations they have and drive each one before deciding. That’s a good chunk of money to spend. If you’re not flashing them yourself, you’ll probably have to live with what you go with for a while before getting it changed to something different depending on how far away from the tuner you are.

 

Depends on your driving style and tire size
Mild/medium or medium/spicy

I had medium/spicy done and liked it for the first couple days but a week later had Paul tune it down to mild/medium.

Running everyday on medium it felt a little too anxious for in traffic situations and that spicy mid range pull is god mode. Then there’s the under 5mph lurching in slinky traffic. Not fun when you barely touch the pedal and your truck lurches forward. In everyday medium.

So I met up with Paul and had him tone it down a notch

Mild is plenty of power for the commute and saves a little more on fuel mileage. Medium has enough get up and go for any circumstance I will need to be in. I even got mid 19’s mpg’s with mild. It’s a mellower option but still has the tune benefit

 

I have Mild/Spicy...mild drive, spicy ECT.

The lunging forward was a pleasant surprise at first but can be tricky in traffic...I had it as first tune in May 2022.

Now, I am more than happy with the way the pedal reacts...much tamer! lol

 

I wasn’t aware they can split them up like that. I’ll look into it

 

Agreed, I will have the tuner suggest what he thinks then try some different combinations out. It is definitely pricey, which is why I am wanting to try and make sure its good that day. Like you said, I would have to wait awhile for it to be tuned back up or down.

I think one of these would be the best option, but will have to wait a few more weeks to see.
mild/spicy
mild/medium

Yeah, I think that may be the winner but will see in a few weeks.

 

Throttle settings section talks about the different standard variations.

I read somewhere (not sure on the accuracy) that they also can do a 'hybrid' variation if requested. I am not sure how it would work exactly but from what I gathered, they take say a mild medium and combine them to make one setting. Maybe someone else would have more information on that or if its bs or not.
