What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Agreed, but if the curtains deploy I figure I'm fuct anyways, so bring it on. Also the way it opens it /should/ push the gauges into the glass, but to each their own.

Best thing about my 87 Supra, no airbags or driver aids other than a very unresponsive ABS lol. <3

 

Bed Stiffeners ! Installed a set of cheap Labworks bed stiffeners. Best bang for the buck i could find. I like em a lot. If u want a cheap set of these check these out.

 

Didn't do it today, but made a quick vid this weekend of the total chaos long travel kit i put on recently.

If you hit each stud with a shot of WD 40, they slide out a bit easier.

 

They kinda sorta look lie fingers in a bun

 

Nope, just there to hold my lights that I never use!

 

Getting ready to purchase a set of black TRD pro wheels, throw a set of the Blizzaks on so I have a set for winter driving. Not sure what model yet. One that is best for my style of driving. Mostly in town and freeway.

 

not needed with synthetics......all that used oil has to go somewhere

 

This is true. The game has changed. Synthetics are far more durable.

 

the game changed in 1974

 

True. But the availability and usage took a long time.

 

Hence, good for bringing to a halloween party!!

 

First wash in 15 months.. finally! Added those stupid ARK inner fender splash guards that I saw someone else on here had. I had to get them because i didn’t even know I needed them or that they existed. TW made me spend money again on a truck I don’t use.

 

You are wrong. That truck just came off the showroom floor, nice try though.

 

You can always give the truck away Scotfree and save some money

 

You should really stop blaming us for your unforgivable lack of discipline.

 

The only way to know for sure if your oil is changed is to do it yourself, especially when we request earlier intervals. The same thing happened with my 2020 Corolla took it in for its first change at 3k they claimed it was complete but when I did the second change at 6k nothing was touched, even the pink factory mark on the plug was intact. So it goes to show you if you want something done right you have to do it yourself.

 

There might be another way: look for a mess. I picked mine up after it's 20k oil change and I had a huge puddle of fresh golden oil on my skid; enough that it made a small puddle on my driveway overnight. They just made a huge mess - I checked the level and then took it back for them to make sure the plug was in and to clean it all up. I can only imagine the conversation between the service advisor and the tech. No, I don't mind some drips, but I shouldn't be able to see the puddle flow when changing the angle of the truck.

In other words, "if you want something done right you have to do it yourself."
But I don't really want to take on my own oil changes.

 

Correct! There are so many things in our lives that are not needed but we all indulge, abuse, and encourage. I really didn’t need a brand new Tacoma (that took me 60 years to get) but here we are, so I will treat it with the love and pampering it deserves. As far as where the used oil goes, probably the same place all gasoline goes you put in your tank.

 

Synthetic oil is a man-made lubricant that is made from chemically modified petroleum (dinosaur squeezeins) essentially all the unlike molecules are removed. I have a side gig where I produce a synthetic weapons lubricant Purple Panther Piss so I definitely know the advantages of synthetics.
