What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You can download offline maps on Apple Maps or Google Maps too.

 

Ever had the pleasure of replacing the b pillar vinyl? Your finger tips will thank you

 

Even Ferrari has been known to install useless sat-nav (ask the Top Gear crew, they will tell you). I have lived too long to expect something more-or-less-optimized for off-roading to be luxurious in all areas. And I have learned in those years that I must sometimes make my own "optimized" feature.

My 15-ft work desk optimized for easy movement underneath and 70-degree bend for stability, my holder for work-out weights holding weights at 2 ft and a 20-degree angle, my nightstand with flip-down sides for storing things easy-access, my bathroom towel rack that is as wide as a normal batch towel ...

I fix what I must, leave the whine for the cheese.

 

Didn’t buy the GPS bullshit but I did install all Kicker speakers and the sound is much improved. Agree the infotainment system is crap but I wouldn’t even think about Nissan…

 

I drive cross country almost monthly. Built-in Nav that is this shitty is a little more than a "whine." It's not like I got it for free.

 

Ever consider a Nissan?

 

Replaced my 285/70/17’s today with 285/75/17’s

 

Seriously, I could live with the stock speakers if I had to. But the fact that it can't properly handle a USB thumb drive is embarrassing. Most of the time, most of the options don't work.

My last vehicle was a Nissan and after 150k miles, had zero issues. The infotainment from 2014 was leaps and bounds better than Toyota's 2023. Nissan's 2023 is WAY better than what they had in 2014. From a truck perspective, I think the Taco is a better truck (though some of the issues that plague it are problematic - leaking timing chain cover, plastic manifold cracking, etc.).

 

Yep. My last vehicle was a Nissan. Fantastic vehicle. I miss it more every day.

 

Then get another one. Just tired of hearing some people rag on the Tacoma instead of enjoying what it’s capable of. This thread is “What have you done to your 3rd gen today?” not “How has your 3rd gen disappointed you today?”

Man, if someone started that thread this forum couldn't afford all of the traffic.

 

I was pushing the limits tonight ...

I put the round sticker on the lock of my SaBellCo tailgate lock
I charged my

$92 Noco GB40 : 1000A UltraSafe Jump Starter – 12V Lithium Battery Booster Pack, Portable Jump Box, Power Bank & Jumper Cables - for 6.0L Gas and 3.0L Diesel Engines

Noco GB40
I charged the lightweight auxiliary battery I can carry in my backpack for charging cellphone when hiking

 

Well, then guess you better start kickin’ rocks….

 

Goodnight TW!

 

Don't be fanboy guy. It's OK to criticize things. Toyota will recover.

 

I only had some slight rubbing on the plastic around the front wheel well. I trimmed a small piece and no longer have any rubbing. As long as its aligned properly you should be good.

 

I just don't get it, is it just laziness? I mean, come on, you're given a company vehicle, the least you can do is keep it clean. The guy I spoke about, his work vehicle probably has better than a large trash bag of trash on the floorboard at any given time. However, his personal truck is clean! WTF!

 

I don't know if that has anything to do with it at all. My 1 year old Samsung phone will hardly charge at all on the charger in my '16; cover on or off no difference. At home, I have a multi port charger that also has wireless charging on top, my phone charges fine cover on or off. I can't say I know anyone that has a good wireless charger in their vehicle, regardless of vehicle brand.

 

Beautiful truck!
