What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Look awesome what it end up running you?

 

no drill gun mount using factory mounts on the roof for plastic clothes hangers hooks. Easy to undo and restore to factory look.

 

Around $1400 for the lights and $600 for the customization and ship back to me.

 

I've had that for about 2 years now. I got it on taco clout via etsy. I just checked though and it says no longer available

 

I'm jealous. Thats clean.

 

Translation; "Anyone else thinking about buying a heated steering wheel, forget it-you can borrow my gloves! Send me your address."

 

Hit my 6 month window at 7,000 miles, spent last night changing the oil (wasting paper towels of course), rotated tires and checked for the welding debris on my rear axle. Everything looked fine, scheduled an appointment for the dealership to take a look and "officially" complete the recall next week.

Obligatory photo from our 800 mile trip last weekend too.

 

How do you like that Ryobi sprayer? Do you wash the truck with it?

 

For the price I paid I really like it, I found it for $100 w/ a battery and foam blaster on ebay. At the $180 retail price I don't know if it would be worth it vs finding a different washer.
It's pretty much only good for washing my cars and small things around the house. It won't replace a full size pressure washer.

Also it is the 40v version not the 18v. I already have a bunch of ryobi 40v tools; lawn mower, weed eater, leaf blower, chainsaw, vacuum, and snow blower. So I wanted to keep to their battery system.

 

Strangely this is the OEM battery from the factory, the Truck is only 19 months old and it began corroding by the 3rd month. I suspect I'm getting a slight overcharge but so far everything is working fine. First Toyota and first vehicle I ever owned with this issue and I've owned at least 15 new cars/SUV's or trucks, must be a Toyota thing, my good friend had issues with his battery for 5 months on his brand new Camry (Dealer replaced his battery twice!) so I don't think this is isolated.

 

Thank you for that. I was thinking of getting one to wash the truck or spray off the muddy/dirty yard items instead of lugging the gas pressure washer. Might have to give one a try.

 

I went for the plug in electric 2000 PSI Ryobi rather than a cordless. I can use it on the sidewalks and the driveway as well as the truck. Takes up a bit more room, but gives me a lot more flexibility for use.

 

Swapped OE start/stop button for the TRD one. Expensive piece of plastic, but looks awesome. The way it should have come from the factory.

 

Shoutout to @tacomalifestyle for having the elusive Meso Customs black dash trim stuff in stock (and for selling them to me when I wandered in to y'alls lobby fifteen minutes before opening time!). My wife's migraines thank you, too... the reflections off those little chrome buggers were murderous.

 

That's the one I have for my main pressure washer. I like the small one because I don't have to run a power cord when I just want to do something quick.
And a 25' hose isn't quite long enough to do both sides of the truck easily.

 

You are a very nice person. Thank you.

 

What nozzle do you use for the paint and undercarriage?

 

That's a no for me. In an accident your rifle is going to come out of those quickfists like a hot knife through butter.

 

The Taco Garage used to make them. They had Yoda, Boba Fett and Vader. I really wanted the black Boba Fett version. They must have gotten a cease and desist, because they keep ignoring my requests for a custom piece. @TheTacoGarageServiceRep
