What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not necessarily did to, but did with my Tacoma today. Picked up a mini x to move some landscaping rock around my backyard after a few hundred shovelfuls and me being over the project. Truck towed it great and didn’t actually squat all that much!

 

I’m not surprised. Heck I paid $100 for 8 iridium plugs for my Yukon last year.

 

I think I paid around 115 ish for 6.

Thanks for posting the video. I'm getting close to changing my plugs. Looks like 2 beers for the passenger side and 10 for the driver side.

 

are you repairing it on top of the passenger seat?

 

That first set of stiffies I bought just because. No research or deeper insight. The fridge slides I bought are from rough country. I figure that’s a good place to buy the “lesser brand”. But the slides wouldn’t clear the stiffies. So reality is, I’ve got a set of Cali raised stiffeners for sale. But I agree brand is not always important. Don’t know why I bought the victory and not the total chaos. I do like the total chaos ones. In fact, the ones, 4wp?, that are hidden behind the bed are most intriguing to me.

 

I think you’ll like them. I had Clazzios on my sport, got a Pro with the softex and I honestly think the Clazzios were nicer.

good luck!

 

Typical.

If you want to feel good about $100 for the plugs, just ask for the price of the stealership changing them ... probably going to be around $700.

Get a 24 in socket extension, and be sure it has a magnetic tip/holder instead of just rubber tip ... holds the spark plug better when it is deep beyond easy reach.

 

got my suicidal-deer impact back from the body shop. grand total finished out at $6600. new rear door, repaired front door, and repaired c-pillar.



boring, but it looks just like it did before

 

Did you at least get some venison out of the deal?

 

Hah!
Glad car is back !
Think you should strap those spare tires onto the doors…you know, deer bumper guards

 

Considering I'm at 144000klms on the original plugs, paying that much for another 6 years of driving seems reasonable.

 

You should check them. All 3 passenger side were loose and a couple on the driver side too. My passenger side plugs weren't even finger tight. I changed them at 18k (truck was about 7 years old at the time).

 

Just put on my new tags. Comiefornia rapes us every year.

 

Your right. I'm past due for sure. On my list for this spring.

 

At least you get the nice weather.

 

Lol..it's the last thing left... High gas, everything is taxed, 2A under attack.

 

I left many years ago. Some things I miss, some things I don't.

 

I’ve had the 1320 bed stiffeners for over a year now and really like them!

 

Thanks, I know I'll be happy once they are on. I have an 8 year old slobber monster german shep/husky mix. The dog hair isn't the issue with him, it's the snotty nose and slobber head shakes causing me to constantly try to clean cloth seats that pushed me to get clazzios for easier cleaning lol. He's cute, but $600 cute is up for debate
