What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Not through Amazon.

 

Gave my new-to-me 2023 Taco it's first real wash (of its life) after bringing it home last Friday! Waiting for Rek Gen mud flaps and a Blendmount radar detector mount for my V1 to arrive...
Cheers...

 

Better hide your credit cards, it has just begun.

 

OK, I am even more confused. and I have not looked at mine yet. But from other posts, I though it was clear that the truck comes with some undesirable anti theft device for the spare? if so, then is there a work-around to eliminate the problem?

 

Nothing prettier than a white truck. How do you like it so far? I bought mine new last August and I love it.

 

No crap

 

The best thing for you to do, young man ... is to ... RUN AWAY!
More retirement accounts have be lost due to time spent in here than we can count.
Do not become its next victim.

 

@disintegrator66 take heed of @RichochetRabbit lol

I believe we all are sensible...given the shadow of doubt.

Whatever you do...please do not come back here and post expensive upgrades! lol

 

I spend less than others ... but find it entertaining to see how others spend their off-hours. I especially like the pictures posted of people tearing apart the complete interior (removing seats, door panels, dashboard). Some people just cannot be trusted with nice things.

 

the one pictured is a toyota option you can pay for but the spare comes with a lock that is free (stock) already

 

Two days getting after it, the new DRT bumper is on!

 

New winter tires, 235/85/r16.

 

Another item for the wish list. Looks great!

Aramith Billards makes the best pool balls imo. I run the black set on an 8ft Craig Connelly table.

 

Completed three things today. Painted the panels for the Kuat bed rack and installed both sides. Installed recovery boards on the cab wall of the bed. Used a Rago mount and it was a pleasure to bolt in. Fit and finish was excellent.
Finished the ARB compressor in the engine bay. This project took a lot of time customizing it to allow the compressor mount to work with the hood struts. Finished it with a heat wrap along the fire wall for the wiring. I’m not sure it was needed but looking at the Toyota shielding along the same route convinced me to do it.

 

Yeah, there's a company called Baja Designs that I've been gravitating to....... lol

 

I like having an almost new truck, but coming from an '04 TRD two door Taco this new truck feels LARGE and that is taking a bit to get used to. Granted, its been less than a week since I owned it. Its pretty well optioned which is nice to finally be able to compete with my wife's Highlander. Undecided about the 3.5 6MT combo though. My old 3.4 5MT felt more natural to drive. This new truck makes you work more to get it going. I'm sure I'll acclimate to it over time and a OTT tune might be in my future...

 

Let's hope so, for your enjoyment.

 

Be sure to seal your cap good when you get it. I know BedRug claims it's mildew and mold resistant, but its not. Mine started to stink bad, pulled it out and it was nasty underneath from water leaking in and getting trapped with no sun or heat to cook it out. Never could get the smell out so I got rid of it.

 

i used an impact on mine to get it off. you do what you gotta do.
