What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks! Was wondering what I’d find to fit those.

 

Did not do it "to" my Tacoma but rather will be for my Tacoma. Bought a mostly finished off road trailer to build out with my RTT and systems to get my camp gear out of the back of the truck in boxes.

 

I do like variety but I always find myself enjoying more a nice IPA. But yes I agree some are better to enjoy at home for the reasons you mentioned

 

From another forum. Thought you guys would get a kick outta this

Pretty sure a dui is a lot more these days but yea that’s a funny story and I’m sure a lot of us can relate on a number of these types ccurances

 

That is hilarious! Thanks for sharing

 

That also might explain why no credit card…

 

Gosh darnnit!!! Did you just go and make this "just another 'oil change' thread"?!?!?

 

Bleed procedure went pretty good. Nothing too bad. I had my bleeder hose pop off and I had to start over basically. I use the Honda part too.

 

Installed the utility track towards the cab and added Quick Fist mounts on the driver’s side. Wicked exciting stuff.

 

OK that’s pretty cool right there not gonna lie

 

I’d like to see one of these receivers in person to maybe reverse engineer a ‘light duty’ version. The main reason for me wanting this is to run my rod/cooler rack on the front of my truck instead of the rear. Wouldn’t have to be that strong. Not so much for winch duty. Really wouldn’t want to trim my new skid.

 

Forgive my ignorance, is that brush to clear a path for your taco?

 

This would definitely be my experience.

 

Happy New Year to all of my TW brethren!

 

Ha! Yes, it’s the ultimate recovery tool to help me get out of our snowy driveway. I have a shovel that will go there when going off-road.

 

Happy New Year TW!!!

 

The last person not passed out turns out the lights.

 

That’s what I figured (shovel being mounted).

Nice to see some folks still have a sense of humor! Happy New Year to you!

 

Happy new year.

Painted my tail pipe with rustoleum high heat 2000 degree flat black paint.

Installed OEM TRD PRO Tail Lights. It's a very subtle change, but I think they look better.
