What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Close! Across the inlet on Ocracoke.

 

I just filled up and drove home. This is what my registered. I don't think I have ever seen this in my truck.

 

Once immediately after a fillup I was driving mainly 1 speed on the freeway and it hit 25 MPG. Dove fast after the first 10 miles and normal street driving, though.

 

Cheap and effective. I put together a little under hood lighting kit for myself, used a LED light kit with a water resistant domed top button switch I wired together so I can turn the lights on/off any time I want directly from under the hood. Used one of the open mount points behind the passenger headlight to mount the button on.

For anyone interested links below.

I just hit this mileage in mine

 

Took the next step in operation chrome delete and swapped out my headlights with some black ones I picked up from @ivanjo3l

 

was it aligned recently?

 

not a test after its been filled up

 

Installed my new All Pro Off Road rear bumper...

 

Does anyone have Alpha Rex smoked taillights?
I have a pair and have been told it’s hard to notice when my brake lights come on during the day.
Is that normal since they’re smoked? Debating on getting different taillights now cause I don’t wanna risk getting rear ended. PFA

 

Thoughts…



This could possibly be residual oil from the last dealership oil change. Just noticed it when I backed into a parking space and had to cut the wheels sharp to correct.

Edit: Excuse the rust, I live on the coast.

 

It's never a waste. OBX?
Edit OK Ocracoke. Technically part of the Outer Banks I guess. Was tring to picture that wide of beach somewhere near Oregon Inlet. But no other vehicles or bunch of tire tracks was throwing me.

 

36000,? Wow, time to part out

 

p/s fluid low?
strange its on the bottom only
spray with brake kleen and monitor

 

I think you're fooling yourself. The whole boot would be covered, not just the bottom. Looks to me like a seal gone bad. Clean the boot with something like brake cleaner and see if it comes back and how fast.

 

Did my 25k oil change today. Last oil change was done by the dealership for the 20k Toyota Care service interval or whatever it's called and that was the last complimentary oil change I get from buying the car. They tightened the oil drain plug, the oil filter housing, and the little metal piece on the bottom of the filter housing so god damn fucking tight like they were trying to seal up Cthulu in there or something. Worst part was I forgot my breaker bar in my friend's car and he was away so I had to get creative. I have an old floor jack that doesn't work anymore and separated the two piece jack pole and used one half of it, inserted my socket wrench in it and used it as a makeshift breaker bar. If not for the dealership tightening every nut, bolt, and housing like they're fucking lives depended on it, I could've been done in about 20 minutes. Instead, it took me that long just to come up with a jank ass solution -____-

 

Thanks. I’ll give it a shot…of brake Kleen.

 

Thanks. I’ll give a try.

 

Nope, but the stage 1 VLED tail light kit with oem tail lights is the way to go. They're very bright.

 

I just bought it in January with a little over 31K on it. And it sat at a body shop for a month to fix it after someone hit it after 2 weeks of ownership. I normally don’t catch even numbers like that. When I do I’m doing 70-80 mph down the highway and can’t take a pic of it.
