What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Measured for a custom rack that fits over my Softopper

 

always

 

Dechromed about the only thing to dechrome on the SR. Replaced the 4x4 selector knob. (Just because I could. Paid with jelly beans.) First time pulling the dash off. The whole process didn't take much longer than watching the how-to video on AJT. Not an exact match, but I like it better than the 'what were they thinking' chrome ring.

 

OOhhh... Chrome

I love it

Sooo shiny!

 

Ok, I'm a poser then....and it's awesome.

 

Lots of judgmental D-bags on here. I'm actually quite surprised.

 

They're good for that, but I use them to keep my windows cracked open during the Summer without making it obvious that the window is open.

 

Pics of the FXRS?

 

Received reimbursement for the tire. HA!

All the fireworks stores in New Mexico and throughout Tennessee! Very tempting, but the Tacoma already has too much stuff.

Eastern TN was very nice on the drive out. So much that I'm tempted to go back for a few days and scope it out. The Buc-ee's in Crossville was nicer than the one in Sevierville. It rained the whole way through TN.



So far I've only made it to Asheville. The drive through the Pisgah National forest down into Asheville was pretty cool. Very green and scenic, but pouring buckets. AZ doesn't get much rain in comparison. Today I poked around Lake Lure and then Lake James in Nebo. Lake James is way nicer than Lake Lure imo.

Not the greatest pictures of and around Lake Lure, but it's something...



Lake James...




Last, one of VLEDS switchback turn signal bulbs is dying out. Going to swing by an Autozone in the morning to see about finding some halogen bulbs for the time being.

 

Did you know that the word "Pisgah" in the native languages is the word for mountain.

I snow ski on a mountain that carries the official name of Mount Pisgah. Think of it..
Mount Mountain. It must have been real confusing to be an early settler in New England.
Just across the river in New Hampshire, is Pisgah State park. It's just west of Mount Manadnock. I don't have a clue what manadnock means.... ;-)

 

What is all that green-ish fuzzy stuff on the hills? Seems I recall that from about 4 years ago. And those big rain puddles!

Asheville gets proper winter ... ice, snow, temperatures between 0 F and 32 F ... shocking! Lower elevations in NC get a few days in the 30s in winter but Charlotte NC only has about 10 snow plows in the barn.

And ... I was NOT kidding about the NC-specific car insurance and the no-fault treatment from police in accidents ...

 

Me too, I’m a shower not a grower.

 

Oh come on! That’s a typo..er autofill..er yea you got me . I usually say probly but the damn phone. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it

 

We only do things to our trucks for our own tastes and satisfaction. Judgement comes in both flavors unfortunately. Don’t let it get to you. Nice rigs.

 

I wouldn't say a lot, but the ones that are, make themselves known. If you don't feed them, they go away eventually.

 

Put in the electrical outlet for the fridge in the console. That one is wired up and works awesome...when I remember to turn on the inverter to run the 12v fridge. Also installed the 12v & USB, but haven't gotten the wiring done for that yet. Wasn't real happy with the wire I ordered. That'll be a project for another day. Might look like it's wonky in the pic, but it's flush & level. The install turned out nice & clean.


Then tonight I put on the nerf bars. Excuse the dirt. Haven't washed the truck since I got back from the cabin over the weekend.

 

Changed the oil the other day (20,000 miles) and had the idea to write the torque specs on the inside of the skid plate cover for quick reference. Used the maintenance chart from @Soft Taco as a reference.

 

where did you get that sticker?

 

Every picture from within 2 ft (inside) or 10 ft (outside) looks convex, concave, or "wonky" ... at least for me.

 

URL is on the sticker.
