What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

A Prinsu rack and a pair of sliders would look good on my truck.

 

AluCab Countour.

 

The owners manual says don’t tow or haul and don’t maintain steady rpm’s for long periods of time. There might be something about keeping it under a certain speed and treating her like a lady of the night. For the first 600-750 miles. Ensures proper seating of the piston rings and valve seals. Helps the metal expand without stress.
I changed my oil at 1000 miles and was surprised to find my original filter was an off number starting with a “B” and made in the USA. It didn’t fit my filter wrench.

 

Hard to pass up and don’t know the quality level but bought 4 of these brand new for 258… I don’t do to much off road but occasionally do…

Vercelli Terreno A/T All-Terrain Tire

anyone have any experience with them?

 

I bought my truck used and didn't notice it had been hit in the rear end until I got under it to change my license plate lights. Stealership neglected to tell me. Damage isn't very noticeable but it bothers me. I figure a steel bumper will fix it and it will be sturdier if some dumbass decides to rear end me some day.

 

I always am looking for a good deal on anything for my Taco, but I would probably not put $65 tires on a $30,000 truck. My Mountain Bike tires cost more.

Two sayings I try to use in my life. "too good to be true" or "you get what you pay for".
Let us know what you think, and I hope they work out for you.

 

What size?

 

I could not agree more. I live by those myself.

 

Some days this is the most important part.

 

I’ve never heard of that tire or tire company, I’d be very careful with tires that cheap. I can’t imagine no-name tires are safe at a price like that.

 

You can say this about most things but in this case “ Good tires ain’t cheap and cheap tires ain’t good “

 

Do you even want to start on "retreads"?

 

alot of info there ....... but what does bed the motor mean?

 

Installed remote start for winter.

 

Another way to say break it in

 

I’ve heard people use the term ‘bed’ or ‘bedding’ similarly like ‘breaking in’. Like ‘bedding plain bearings’ on a crankshaft. Or ‘bedding pushrods’ to their corresponding rocker arms.

 

Mocked up a fly rod carrier today. Brackets are 3D printed and it’s able to add pipe as the end is threaded.

 

sounds like something that was done to new engines many years ago

 

Completed the 80K service this afternoon. Also changed out the engine air and cabin air filters. Once again the MotivX kit proved very useful when draining the oil filter. Straight into the drain pan with no mess!

 

Nice truck. Think your tags a little outa date though....
