What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Another mod in my opinion that should be stock, cup holders that fit the large Yeti (or whatever) bottles.

 

But if all the mods were stock what would we spend our money on and do in our spare time?

 

Do not get these deviants started ...

 

Dang !!! This mod thread is gonna cost me more than my ex wife !!!

 

But your truck is worth it! Lol

 

Yes, I do like my Taco more than her, hell I like my 79 Chevy stepside more than her.

 

Can you drink that much water during a drive? Just maneuvering that lid would be a task!

 

Out with old (bottom), in with the new (top).
Installed some new old man running boards.
I'll try to get better pictures when after the Taco has a bath.


All shined up.

 

I also purchased the VLEDS interior lights as the stock ones are very dim.

 

Yup, often am driving for 5+ hours.

 

I'm intrigued by the yellow tape dividing the garage in half. I've done that too.

 

New shift knob from AJT. V1 design. Might put the black nuts back on vs green

 

Looks kinda bulky, is it still comfortable to shift with?

 

it’s a tight fit in there with my Tacoma and wife’s grand Highlander

Just a little guide to help make sure neither of us hit mirrors

 

I think it's funny that people question how much water one consumes. These containers hold 42oz or so, which is not even half of what you should be drinking in a day. That's not even taking in consideration if you work outside/ physical labor job.

 

Picture makes it look bulky/big but it’s a good size. Being heavier than stock is a nice touch too

 

All fixed! $150 on a new part, $20 on some Valvoline Dex/Merc (blue jug), and $11 on a syringe, and I’m good to go. Took about 20 minutes to swap.

Not bad at all if you have proper hose clamp pliers and enough paper towels and foresight to put the paper towels where they need to be to catch the fluid. Helps to have the old res unbolted as you pull the supply hose off so that you can tilt the res as the hose comes off and keep from gushing oil out. There is some down below that you simply can’t suck out with the siphon which is why you have to be careful during the lower hose removal.

Reservoir part - 44360-04010

Level ended up right where it should be after warming up: smack dab in the middle between hot max and min.



Glad I installed my KC Cyclones on the hood, really helped with seeing what I was doing under the hood in the darkish garage first time those lights have actually really been beneficial since this is the first real repair I’ve had to do.

 

When I did mine, I capped the reservoir with a 3/8" vacuum cap and stuck the return hose in gatorade bottle. It only took about 3 quarts to fully flush the entire system.

 

Often, I drink at least 16 oz at a time usually it’s like 32. I’m not a large person by any means

 

Did you turn the wheels back and forth with the engine off and just stopped to add fluid as you went?
