What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's amazing that you were able to get that many years/miles out of the original. I hope to do the same in 4 years. Costco Interstates are a good deal.

 

I'm trying to build up a good base coat of wax on my new to me '22, so Sunday I washed and put on a second coat of Turtle wax Pro Flex hybrid Graphene.

I also got some suction cups for a microfiber towel that I'm using for a sunshade. Keeps the sun out, and has multiple duties including a light blanket for a friend at an outdoor concert just this weekend.

 

I will never put raptor lights on mine either.

 

They actually say that?

 

Rear is easy enough, but how'd the front go? Did you go with ECGS? I'm curious how they handle the core returns and what the return shipping runs.

 

I did this to my truck. Not a positive thing though. Currently on a long road trip with my wife. Caught a rock south of Denver on day 3 of 14 and now have a sweet crack across the windshield of my ‘22 Pro. Ohh well. I will get it fixed when we get back home.

 

Appreciate you checking! This was like my 3rd drain and fill. Still checked the overflow plug and used obd fusion app to check the temp. Going to have to drain and fill again soon, i was hoping to swap like 3 qt’s, not 1

 

Thanks for choosing us! Love the Rig.

 

A dozen of us WI folk went out and exercised our trucks yesterday. The place has an interesting background. It was once a compound occupied by sovereign citizens. They refused to pay taxes, fought the IRS for years claiming to be a church. They had live-fire tactical training events on the grounds, built shelters loaded with ammo into some of the hillsides. They threatened many of the locals and anyone that got too close to the property. Eventually they were taken down by the Dept of Natural Resources because they had moved several mobile homes onto the land and installed septic systems without a permit. When all was said and done, the land was given to the county, which didn't know what to do with it for years. Eventually, someone thought the land would be a great place for offroad trails and the county developed it into an offroad park/campground. Some of the trails are quite challenging.

 

The other day I test fit my heavy metal offroad bed bars with my softopper. These are the ones that are meant to fit over the softopper. I got the softopper and bars used on marketplace for 750 all in, which was a steal. Came with an extra set of softopper rails too. I test fit it with a kayak and its gonna work well!

 

I agree, white is the best, especially acexx cabs

 

I recommend not waiting too long. The windshield is a structural part of the vehicle and now this is a week spot. Your insurance should cover replacement anywhere in NA.

 

last (very simple) modification before we leave for the wedding next Monday and 10,000+ km road trip/honeymoon afterwards. I know most guys rock the Toyota “red orange yellow” emblems but it only works if you have a neutral colour truck (black grey white) so I opted for tri-colour blue mountains to match my blue crush taco. Really makes the grill pop, I love it

 

They don’t look good on a Raptor so what makes you think they would look good on a Tacoma?

 

Who knew 4 little yellow LEDs could generate so much discussion

 

I ordered the GT and it'll be coming by the end of the month. Went with that over the SE so I could have piece of mind throwing a quad on top of it, and I eventually plan on a rack + rooftop tent setup on it

 

Our trucks are as individual as we are, we make them that way. As individuals we all have opinions and opinions are reflective of the individual, that’s my opinion.

 

Why do you call them Raptor lights? DOT calls them Marker Lights?

 

It's been that way since I joined in Sept 2021...the discourse/discussion/dialogue over people's decisions with their trucks.

But don't despair, there are people who like "Raptor Lights", or as we can also call them, "Grill Lights" on their Tacoma.

I've had a couple of compliment replies on my set up because they are somewhat subtle/subdued in "Smoked Amber" disguise!

I've had them on for a while now...case in point, how different my truck looks in the first pic compared to the one parked next to vintage Tacoma.

 

I really don’t get the criticism about people’s trucks. People are proud of their trucks and the work that they do on them. They come here to show that off. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!
