What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Cardboard will catch that mess and carpet remnants make laying on the floor underneath the truck cozyer.

 

Wrapped my hood as well and it does wonders to cut down the glare.

 

My wife was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease. She didn't feel any effects for years but is starting to now. The harm ticks can do should not to be underestimated.

 

I need to get this done also.

 

Glad to hear it. That was the main goal. Wife has gnarly migraines triggered by glare so that hood was killing her on road trips.

 

They have a strange life cycle as well. Like some years are big nymph years and you won’t see them as well. Nymphs are tiny but have most of the diseases. Sorry to hear about your spouse. I have a friend with Lyme disease, she does a lot of holistic medicine for it.

 

I see your point for sure. I guess if one was truly concerned that they might be damaging the bypass valve in the filter housing, they could replace it (the housing) every 10 or so oil changes. Being a glutton for punishment, I'm going to try the no-drain-filter method once to see how bad it is.
Peace and Love

 

New floor liners..

 

Have you seen Tucker Carlson podcast on the origin of lymes? https://youtu.be/zoxszhv9D1k?si=ZQ2I8qKBVOZYpD5y

 

My wife was unaware she was bit until tested, who knows who long after. I tend to check myself every time after coming in from the woods. It is odd, we ran around in the woods and high grass all the time as a child and nobody ever spoke about it or seemed to get it.

 

Same here , I usually have a 10% permethrin spray from the farm store I mix up and spray down before going out foraging every year.

How is your truck so clean? How many miles?
What brand of floor mats are those? 3w?
They look nice the way they overlap the edge.

 

I soak my clothes in permethrin and hang them to dry and used picaridin on any part of my skin that is exposed. No Mosquitos, ticks, or any other insect bothers me anymore.

 

Lol, just got it a week ago. 16.1 K miles. Yes 3W liners.

What’s y’all’s opinion on the BC anti-theft tailgate lock.

 

I think this was the second thing I did to my Taco. Between this and my magic anti-theft rock, my tailgate is still attached.

 

Just wondering if others have used this type. I tried to break loose the factory torx bolts in order to use another type but broke two torx bits and even used an impact driver. And finally said screw it, will look for another design. This one looks like a good solution for me. Right now I just have a hose screw clamp on it.

 

I didn't need to remove any Torx bolts, just the two hex on the bracket. My kit came with a Torx bit, and some screws, but I have no idea what they were for. I did not get a larger washer for the tailgate cable support. I don't live in a place where tailgate theft seems to be a problem, so for 45 bucks or so I felt like this was sufficient.
