What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It does. I kept the foam insert pieces in place, however.

 

Just ordered mine

 

Thanks bro!
Yeah I built the bumper myself with a rogue fab tube bender. I wanted something different and I haven’t seen anybody with aluminum plating and the winch. I also did custom ditch lights in my mirrors

 

Yeah medium spicy for 91octane. Awesome to hear!

 

That’s outstanding work! I really like the old school style of the aluminum skid with the tube bumper.

Didn’t catch the ditch lights initially, but that is definitely unique! Well done.

 

Haha most people don’t notice them. I had a guy ask me if I was gonna do ditch lights while his hand was on my mirror and touching the light lol.

 

Congrats man she’s a beauty!!

 

Medium Spicy here to and I think it’s the perfect tune

 

Agreed. My only issue is I can’t keep my foot off the throttle lol.

 

lol This is true it’s hard not to with all the new found power.

 

I've had people ask about gas MPG and I tell them the Tacoma gets low 20's. The driver, however, gets around 15 MPG.

 

Hahaha maybe going down hill with the wind at my back. With 35s and 5.29s I’m sitting at about 13.5 mpg but it does seem to be creeping up higher since the OTT tune. But I do also drive like a @$$hole haha

 

My driver gets between 11 and 12 on a good day even before the tune
EDIT:
With only 33’s and no gear swap

 

My Pop-n-Lock started failing yesterday. The little actuator hits the lock mechanism, but doesn't hit it hard enough to actually make it lock/unlock. Not sure if it's the actuator itself that's gotten weaker or the lock itself is getting stuck. The key still works, and I reapplied some grease to the mechanism, no luck.

Any other tips welcome...

 

Just swap out the actuator. I bought a 2 pack from Amazon and swapped mine and now have a spare.
All good now.

 

Wonder if a Toyota actuator would be better?

 

Yeah it seems these deals never come at a good time for my budget either! Sometimes though it’s too good to pass up!

 

Nice not having to hunt for the right gear!

 

picked up a fire extinguisher and put a first aid kit together along with another emergency essential.

 

I've heard too many horror stories of people not having fire extinguishers and always have one on my bed rack and in front of my passenger seat. Better to have and not need than need and not have
