What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You just be chillin', dude!

 

i was looking at smaller ones but i got the whole back seat area and the bed for space for it and my impact and other stuff is ryobi so i'm in bed with their battery system

 

Stupid question from a newbie… brand new ‘23 taco, 500 miles on the odo, figured it can’t hurt to give a good coating from the start.

Do you coat the entire undercarriage, just the frame, etc… or which components do you avoid? Never used this stuff so not sure if this seals bolts or gums up moving parts

 

Plans to get a tune?

 

Happy Birthday! One day early. I was a December baby as well, born on the 29th. It sucked when I was a kid having a birthday that close to Christmas. People either forgot your birthday, sent a card/present late, or you got the Merry Christmas/Happy Birthday combo gift!

 

Did a quick paint correction on the new truck to fix the dealer's detail. Then ceramic coated it with Gtechniq CSL and EXO v5. First time trying a true ceramic coating and it came out great. Much longer process than I expected. Worth it though.

 

Wow! Lookin' Good.

That tire size is an inch taller (265/65R17 vs 265/70R17)

Looks like another inch can fit in there! lol

 

A number things I need to do for maintenance:

timing cover gasket
Spark plugs
Serpentine belt

and a tire repair because I just found a nail in my tire 10 minutes ago

 

When your hobby is your truck, and you haven't done anything on a while

Merry Christmas!!!

 

Got a link that explains that?
A brand new truck could be tuned for better performance?

 

Thanks man! I know the combo gifts all too well.

 

Oh man… Get ready for a deep dive. IMHO tuning is a must for autos just to remedy gear hunting/shift points, but there are very strong opinions both ways. You can also change your throttle sensitivity.
This tune is the frontrunner in the popularity contest at the moment, but as updates roll out it’s gone back and forth some.
Tl;dr You can get an OBD-usb cable, use your own laptop and pay for software/tunes to DIY or you can find someone in your area to do it for you. It’s around $400 to pay a turner to do it for you

 

Sorry for the late reply. They’re attached to the stock D ring at the bedside.

 

Thanks for the info. I like the DIY version. I found the tuning section here. Definitely a deep dive. I like this stuff though. Let the research begin.

 

‘I’ve seen old rifle boxes out of peoples attics sell for $100 at auctions, just the boxes.

 

I hand fabricated it. The CF is available through McMaster Carr. You will need a No Ground Plain Antenna. The rest is up to you.

 

GR Badge FTW.

 

It is garbage science and marketing with a little competitive cultural stuff. The East Indian casts particularly compete with showing off their "wealth". My girl works in a school district that is 91% East Indian. Her school, in particular, is 99%. You have never seen so many Teslas. Its crazy. Anyone with half a brain knows its pure garbage. I hate the electric cars.

 

Really? Do tell...

 

So nice. I literally have a Stage 4 kit in a holding pattern. Cannot wait to pull the trigger. Gotta wait until January.
