What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Used a 10mm on a screwdriver, you just have to keep parallel to the windshield.
Don't use the angle of the hole in the handle.

 

Works on my truck.

 

Do you still have your stock overload leaf? I am Looking for one.

 

Trying to seal the edges?

If you bought a used truck, let this be a reminder to never assume the last person to do work on the truck did it right.

I have a front LED light bar and some back up lights that were put in with ugly toggle switches. I got a 3D printed (thanks @ITmaD) left switch panel to add CaliRaised OEM style switches. Since I DON'T trust that it was done right, I checked the current draw through the switch - 6.75 amps for the front and 4.75 in the rear measured with my clamp on meter. The CaliRaised switches claim 3 amps max, so I need to rewire.

Now I need to go get relays.

I love my truck, and I would not have been able to afford it new. Just be sure to verify any mods if you didn't do them or pay to have them done properly.

 

How many miles did you have on your truck when you changed the fluids?

 

Rather than sitting around bitching about something I decided to install my Fitcam. I bought the front & rear camera version. The ONLY thing I would have done differently would be to place the rear camera about 1/4" higher in the back window.

I followed the directions and the ONLY part, to me, that was difficult was trying to get my Samsung phone/WiFi stuff worked out because it wanted to use my internet and I did not want to give it access (made in China) to my router. But I worked through it.

(Edited for spelling errors)

 

I drove it. It's been 6 weeks since I had spine surgery and the need to buy groceries combined with more mobility/less pain than a few weeks ago made the time right. It felt good to get out on the road

 

Installed a TRD Skid plate on a Limited Tacoma... Yes, I know..

 

They're still mounted, just have an Icon AAL added, it added 1.5' to rear stock leaf.

edit : Dang, just noticed that that is missing, didn't get it back from installer. So, no, I dont have em.

 

Just under 30k and just over 4 years old. Here's another shot of crap I sucked out of the reservoir. So even if the OEM fluid doesn't look/smell bad, all that stuff is still floating around. Doing a flush (at least with OEM fluid) helps get the crap out.

I had no visible rack leaks at bellows prior to the change with DexMerc so if it starts, I'll know it's probably the fluid. I doubt the Toyota stuff is synthetic.

 

I added a 3rd/4th brake light to my bed rack.

 

I like the banner. For those with real balls!

 

It was definitely quite a trip watching them!

 

Gave her a good wash after going to the beach house.

 

Love your truck, which rear bumper is that?

Also it's not a good idea to carry your bike tires strapped to the bikes, especially with such nice bikes.
Having the tires/rims against the fork stanchion could damage the fork, straps going through the brake rotors could bend the rotors, and rubbing against the bike frame will damage the paint

A wheel carrier might be a worth while investment, I used a Yakima one before I upgraded to 1up racks.

 

Washed this dirty girl with ONE bucket, a hose, and 5yo trash microfibers. Seven years going on seventeen. Like the Von Trapp family does it.

 

Fuck yeah.

 

I had surgery on my spine April 29th, I know the great feeling of driving the truck again! Hopefully your recovery goes smoothly and you can enjoy your truck and life more than before!!!
