What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mine are RRW. I got some out of their first batch back in '18. I could never beat that deal again = $680.00 delivered!
They have held up great.

 

I feel your pain. I've had the same auto insurance company since 1977, no tickets or claims and cost just keeps going up. WTF!! So, shopping for new insurance now, we'll see how that goes, have until December 9th to make a decision.

And, while I'm on my soap box, homeowners insurance. Same company, 33% increase last year. WTF!! I get a notification last Friday that their not renewing my policy?? Been with same company since 1988. They are pulling out of all coastal areas because paying out to much money. I've never had a claim in 35 years, gladly took my money, now not renewing!! So, shopping around for this as well. But have until January 9th, so plenty of time.

I know some may ask who I was insured with, it was Nationwide Insurance. Can't recommend at all.

Who do y'all have as homeowners and auto that you'd recommend? So far I've only priced Farm Bureau. My current agent is pricing Progressive for auto, don't know who for homeowners. Thanks in advance!

 

Did you have anything unexpected in your pants!!



I've hit 2 with work truck, one just before dark on the highway doing 65mph, jumped out of the woods and right in front of me before I could even react. The other around 9pm, just about got stopped, only doing about 15mph when I hit it. First one, in 1995, about 5k in damages, 2nd, a year later, no noticable damage, hit front bumper. Had several close calls, hate rut season!! Really gets the heart pounding!!

 

The deer in my area have been overly active in the last week or so. Fortunately, I'm typically on back roads or main streets where slowing down is not much of a challenge.

 

Left Cali in ‘09 after 35 years. Happy I’m gone. Left GEICO earlier this year for the same reason as you. They jacked our rate pretty massively although we’ve never filed a claim and no moving violations, nothing.

 

IDK about those, but I have these on my truck.

Comprehensive paid for the rat damage to my $6k wiring harness. Just a thought.

 

Congratulations! Keep those eyes open.

 

Free cat guards with transmission slider purchase. I think. Right now. If I read that correctly.

 

Great pic.

 

In Alberta, my truck and wife's Impreza are a combined $2500 a year. Comes with a rental though...

 

Installed some Christmas lights

 

My 2021 Taco and the wife's 2020 Rav4 cost about $$2200 per year for full coverage. Neither of us have had an accident or moving violation in 10 years or more. Go figure.

 

I would check out USAA.

 

I'm be interested in changing the badges from chrome to either black or bronze.
Is there a way to do this?

 

New wheels and tires OR
Katzkin leather?

 

My state average increase was like 30% last year for auto/home insurance based on an article I read (and my statements!). Wildfire, hail, and a massive increase in auto theft. Plus I'm still insuring an 18 year old mail. Some days I feel like my insurance payment matches my mortgage (thankfully it doesn't; just feels like it). I have USAA and they've been good. Not sure they are going in the direction I like though; getting more generic and outsourcing everything. And playing the bundling game (i.e., only affordable if you put everything w/ them).

Yes, overlays are fast to install and pretty cheap. Toyota sells a set for ~$160, but Amazon has some in the $30 range. I think you can also get all black badges from Toyota but they aren't cheap either.
There used to be many options but there's been a crackdown on copying branded items. You will lose the 'holes' in the letters with the overlays, even OEM.

 

Reading now, it seems like it is all a scam. Or, the insurance companies are getting scammed all the time.

BTW, I'm paying $1,500.00 for 6 months in Florida. For ONE 2020 Tacoma. The system is F'd up I would say.
