What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got sick of the tiny radio knobs already. I saw a post about using knobs from a RAV4, but first I thought I'd try 3D printing some. Found these on thingiverse, and added the recess to the front for a bit more style. I may still do the RAV4 knobs at some point, but these will do for now.


Original for comparison.

 

I thought the bed was just off the truck sitting in some foil covered room. Very confused for a minute until I saw the tire.

 

I was just complaining about these knobs yesterday. Why in the world did they make them so small?

You rang?

 

I don't even use the knobs on mine.

 

Rav knob job is worth it

 

Brought the garbage cans in
Bout the only time I get to flip up my tonneau lol. So far it’s doing fine. Anything that wanted to fall off or “unstick” has been re adhered and everything seems to be holding up fine on it.

 

Looks great! What brand of tonneau do you have? Does it rub against the back window when folded up like that?

 

Sweet

 

What kind of establishment is Buc ee’s? By the mascot, I would guess either a hardware store, or, a beaver burger joint.

 

I need to get out of that habit. It's usually when I connect my phone to turn on Spotify that I immediately reach for the volume knob.

 

If I need to fold up the last flap, I just take the cover off completely. It's easy enough.

 

Gas station / Walmart lol

 

It's....

It's a gas station.

Ya know how , like say a Sheetz station is bigger than your average 4 pump station?

Buccees is like if Sams club and Costco got together and said, "Sheeeet, Sheetz, we gon' show you how to do urban sprawl. Bobby, fire up the dozers and the paving machines."

I've been to one. There were 100 gas pumps. There is a store - with several registers. Bigger than some Walmart stores I've been in. You drive up and it takes a fair amount of time to simply process the sheer enormity of it.

I think it is like a European coming to America and trying to take in just how bloody big our country is. It just keeps on going.

 

It's like Costco's version of a gas station/truck stop/car wash/rest area. All kinds of food made on site along with regular pre-packaged expected items, lots of souvenirs, Joe Diffie/country music playing loud, ect. It's pretty common in TX and throughout the midwest. The food is surprisingly good. Not anything one would normally associate with a truck stop/gas station. I'd never been before, but a family member highly recommended stopping at one.

edit: Maybe I should have just called it the Wally World of convenience stores.

 

An American gas station on rampant steroids. They are also known for clean restrooms. They have an employee cleaning them constantly.

 

When I lived in NC/OH Sheetz was better than smaller-footprint places. Smaller places have roller-food at 3 AM. Sheetz you can order at 3 AM like you can at McGreasy or BKLounge at 6 PM. And cleaner than some of the small-footprint ones allow it to fall just because they can.
