What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Couple small things. Steering wheel emblem overlay, Meso chrome delete cup holder surround, and the OEM TRD Pro shift knob.

Still need to do bed stiffeners while my camper shell is off, probably will tackle that next week sometime.

 

Finally replaced my worn out shocks and springs.

Front: OME UCAs, Bilstein 6112 and 650lbs springs
Rear: Icon AAL, airbags, Bilstein 5160 with reservoir

Rides much better than expected. Pretty close to stock ride.

 

Added a little easter egg decal to the windshield and under the hood.

 

Today I did the A/C evaporator cleaner and A/C odor treatment. Rather than having to crawl under my truck, pull loose the flexible rubber splash sheet, I pulled back the carpet on the passenger side and pulled the drain tube into the cab. I noticed that I could pull it loose from the back of the A/C unit, too. I wanted to see if it was really clogged..... and it wasn't. So, I put it back onto the back of the A/C unit, put my drain pan on the floorboard, used the ServiceRite Evaporator Core Cleaner (about 1/2 can) and used a hose clamp on the hose to make sure that it stayed in place. After about 30 minutes I pulled the clear tube out of the drain tube and let it run into my drain pan. Then I repeated it a second time using the remainder of the can. I let it sit for another 30 minutes I drained it again. The can said that it held 12 oz, but only returned just less than 10 oz in total. I wanted to see exactly how bad it was so I poured it out through an old white wash cloth and man was it "green and nasty". My truck is only 14 months old, but I do run the A/C on the default [recirculating] setting and park in a closed up garage at night, and they tell me that is when that moldy stuff grows.
I followed the directions and think I got a good outcome.

This is the product I used and got it from the Toyota dealer.

 

Installed the S&B intake

 

Cool rig..... if you were driving in the '60s it would have been in a VW Bus, I bet.

 

Did you know that the "toothbrush" was invented in Georgia? If it was invented elsewhere it would be called a "teeth" brush!

 

Pretty sure it was invented in WVa.

 

? ? It never made it to WV.

 

Regardless of the hillbilly joke, the statistics of pulled teeth when US soldiers were recruited for WWI are astonishing. The Model T was just freeing people from the family farm, and most of the recruits had never seen a dentist in their lives, regardless of the state they lived.

 

I have one as well. You won't be disappointed.

 

I guess they do things a little different in Oregon. I kept my distance.

From Wikipedia:

In the United States, brushing teeth did not become routine until after World War II, when American soldiers had to clean their teeth daily.

 

TacomaWorld calendar lets gooooo

 

What brand covers are these?

 

The SCOTUS covered this under "We cannot really define it but we know what it is when we see it" ... truck porn.

 

No pictures but ive used mine the same but with a large canoe and tailgate down. Also have used it a few times with my 12 foot fishing kayaks like this and it works like a dream. Looks good brotha.

 

Got my OTT tune mild/medium settings and totally love it. Got rid of Pedal Commander
