What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Had a body mount chop done. The shop did a beautiful job!

 

I keep some window cleaning supplies in the door pocket. Dawn soap, cellulose sponge, magic eraser sponge, blue scotchbrite pad and Rain-X.

(Green scotchbrite is abrasive, blue is not.)

Not sure about removing scratches, but for once, TW advice is in agreement: It’ll buff out!

 

Excellent solution! Thanks for posting.

 

Welp @RichochetRabbit I indeed did not make it 6 months. I am however giving myself a pass as I felt it was needed to have more light in the back for a trip to Moab this weekend so installed some LED lights. Was an unexpected pain.

 

That will teach you!

 

Threw away my Mobile jump pack last weekend and bought a new one from Amazon should be arriving at the end of the week. Got in my truck to leave monday for the airport and click click. Jumped it from my charger at the house and ran over to Walmart for a replacement battery (i installed it, i wouldnt let anyone from walmart touch my truck). Strange how things happen.

 

Its such garbage plastics they used especially the cluster, you could scratch it by looking at it. Order a new one and get a screen protector, mine still looks brand new i wipe it weekly always drive with the windows open so it gets dusty often.

 

Another vote for a random orbital polisher, light pressure and moving around frequently on the surface. Too much pressure and staying in one spot builds heat; potential for cracked glass.

Lots of different glass specific compounds are available. Cerium Oxide is designed for deep scratches on glass.

I'd try carpro ceriglass with yellow (fine) or white (super fine) rupes pads. Polisher brand doesn't matter as long as it's a random orbital. 2-3 50% overlap horizontal passes, 2-3 50% overlap vertical passes, then clean and inspect. Glass is one of the hardest surfaces to polish. Might be easier to replace the windshield.

RAIN X also keeps bugs from sticking on glass as much

 

New mod to go in the Tacoma not on it. Even at the family get together I can’t let people forget that I drive a Tacoma!

 

The picture on the slat looks a bit like a Raptor with a hard-cap ...

 

I like the photo with the patches on the center console. That's perfectly stealthy

 

Today I swapped out my Flowmaster Dual exhaust for their high clearance version. Easy work and comparing both.. so far they're similar in volume, with the high clearance exhaust sounding more throaty, and with a bit more potency since it dumps before the axle. It's not any more obnoxious compared to the dual exit, though. We'll see if that's still true after more miles!

Here's a link to my dual exit if anyone near northern CA wants to buy it!

Jesus, that came out fantastic. Even the bags look awesome. Well done.

 

It looks like you’re sensoring your shiftknob with a pixel taco.

 

LOL she used the whitening concoction. YouTube said to use a white toothpaste. Mines blue

Thanks for the link. I might as well order some pads with it.

Thanks for all the other replies. I’ll let you know how I make out. The scratches aren’t that deep. I literally only lightly scrubbed the windshield but found out the hard way. Should be ff out with the right stuff.

 

I did this yesterday…. But fell asleep early and did not post it yet. But I’m excited, cuz I got some new meats. So… trd sema gloss gunmetal wheels, Toyo open country rt trail 275/70/17 Went from a 265/75/16 at 31.65” diameter and aprox 74#
to 32.2” , 68# a corner.

 

Cant go wrong with those rims!

 

Painted and installed the Novsight HALO 6 inch lights, I love the X-game look of the DRL that can be set either to amber or white.
