What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Slee mount and an RC twin compressor mounted up. Waiting on the ARB manifold, switch panel and ARB front locker.

 

You have good penmanship. Or spelling. Whatever.

 

Installed the Glove box and arm rest organizers...I need ORDER somewhere in my life!

 

My Westcott Designs Black Friday Christmas gift to my truck showed up today.. went with DOM tubing 20 degree with top plates and MIG welds! I’m gonna sand blast a nice profile on them tomorrow and spray with Carbothane 8845 that we use on at our Railroad car shop to spray the exterior shells of tank cars..
very happy with the build quality and welds on these babies!! They’re beefy!!

 

Better get the woodgrain vinyl sides going, then!!

 

I like how the looks!

 

Not sure if I am being shtooped, but who knows ...

My O'Reilly Stant-ish locking gas cap that does not have an S on it has been swapped back to OEM. The Stant-ish has not been consistently clicking at full-lock, and recently my MPGs are in 17s despite using the same driving habits as before, instead of mid-high 18s and maybe 19s. Maybe the Stant-ish was correct-enough to not trigger an error but not quite sealing correct-enough for best mileage.

Cannot hurt ... unless tweakers want my gas, I guess.

 

Does Discount Tire sell white-sidewalls?

Well, that sucks!

Seems like it's become more challenging to find the elusive STANT locking gas cap...not that I've been looking! lol

I've had mine for some time...March of 2022 (Post#67) according to my thread recollection.

It gave me a reason to buy the Gas Cap Holder too! lol

Happy Taco Driving!

 

If I wasn't so cheap I would have purchased the Westcott Design ones. Those welds are truly a work of art.

 

Could just be the switch to winter blend (depending on where you live) Can't see the gas cap causing that dramatic of a drop in mileage.

 

Did the weather go from temperate to pretty cold? that can have a big effect on gas mileage...

 

Yup.

 

Did this

 

I am not dismissing that. This is my first winter with the Tacoma instead of my Corolla. Still, a tank or two with the old cap is a no-risk test.

 

Can you tell me how many bolts per side to bolt them up? thanks

 

So I'm new to the 3rd gen but I will tell you going over 75mph in the 2nd gen in winter dropped me to 17mpg vs 70mph 19w 20summer

 

Ten bucks for weed? Paid 10 times more in the 70's.
