What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

And they are the ones that say, I don't need cruse control, yes they do!!

My Taco is the 1st vehicle I have owned (besides my daughters) that has adaptive cruse control, and I will set mine and you can really feel the truck slow down, speed up, slow down, speed back up following these idiots, and when they slow down enough that my CC disengages, it really ticks me off...

 

About $400

 

Nothing too exciting for most, but I finally got the Dog Hammock in Friday late, for my new (2yo) Blue Nose Puppy, as well as the Door Protectors and the Dog Seatbelt, and he has not wanted to get in the truck... Finally today, he took a ride with me for a few miles around the neighborhood, my hope is the he will be like my other Pits that would go everywhere with me.. It will just take some time...

Love the fit of the Hammock, the standard fits almost perfect, little slick though..

Not real impressed with the Door Protectors fit, as when I roll the window up the forward side starts to come up when the window is almost up, got to figure out how to get around the track pushing it up...But they do cover the panel well and look good for what they are, and don't look like they will scratch the glass or tint if added later on..

Still need to install the AVS Ventshade's and LED back up lights...
And get the OTT done...

 

Okay. I guess I didn’t properly illustrate the procedure. When I said “wheel off” I meant steering wheel because I had to replace the stalk switch since my truck didn’t come with fogs but was pre wired for fogs. I had to install the engine bay harness and relay and then did go between the grill as well as through the fog light holes for the install.

 

They must have been related to the moron I passed one day who was reading a novel while cruising at 65 mph.

 

I've seen this. I immediately got away.

 

Need pics of blue nose. Bullies are the best!

 

Imagine getting in an accident with the lap top on your lap as the air bag goes off and shoves it in your face and kills you or the dinner plate shatters and slices you open

How about the stupid women who are passengers and put their feet up on the dash, when they cant react fast enough, they are basically paralized for the rest of their life when the air bag goes off.

 

Mythbusters did an episode on what happens when you put your feet on the dash and the airbag goes off. Let's just say the results were painful.

 

The wildest I have seen is someone doing a crossword puzzle.

 

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet but if you hold in on the button that turns on the cruise control, it will go into “non-adaptive” cruise. Thats mostly what I use.

 

Let's just say I have a friend in a wheelchair now because of it. its like diving into an above ground pool( shit you don't so) kids now days have no common sense they think its cool to put their feet up there. I pulled over once along side a car and the woman had her feet on the dash i suggested she didn't do it, i told what would happen. I said google it.

 

He was showing ribs and backbone a week ago when we got him, and weighed 51.4 pounds, hard to see his backbone now but can still feel them, ribs are going away also... This dog is amazing and picking up on basic commands very fast, got him from an extended family member that my son got a Red Nose from also, so He knows my son and my 2 grandkids also, he is of course awesome with humans and other dogs in general... Just need to put about 20-30 pounds on him, but we working on that, he just weighted in at 56.8 pounds, so a 5.4 gain in one week... He is in his forever home now...

 

Awesome. Our blue nose was found by a friend of mine who was a cop in NYC. She was also way underweight (50 lbs) and when we got her to where the vet said she should be she was about 70. We've had several bullies over the years and she's got the best temperament of probably any I've ever met. Nothing phases her and in 8 years I've not once seen her growl or show her teeth. I've literally had a friend of mibe she didn't know walk in when no one was home and she didn't even get off the couch. He couldn't believe it.

 

I have these door protectors in my truck and they are awesome, on the pricey side but they are almost unnoticeable when installed

I have been using CC for 30+ years and love it, I normally find what the top speed is with cruse pretty fast, as a speeder, I enjoy driving fast, so CC helps me keep it at a more legal speed.. lol
But we have a lot of curves and hills in my neck of the woods, and it is hard to use CC a lot of the time, now with the adaptive CC, I love it, it slows the truck down when needed and speeds back up when clear, I always rest my food on the accelerator pedal though if in traffic...
My last DD was my wife's Vibe/Matrix MT without CC, (my car was rear ended and totaled late 2018) I drove it from 2019 (right after full left knee replacement 12/18/2018) till a couple months ago, so loving having CC again and ACC even better...

But yes, I knew about the non ACC use of it also...

EDIT ACC not ADD, oops

 

He's a good looking dog! My wife and I have two pitties, one blue (female), and one tri-color (male). They are the best dogs (IMO)! We adopted our tri-color, his name is Archer. We was also under weight when we got him. He's a little over 70 pounds and still growing. He just turned two.

 

Okay, I'll say it;

DD = daily driver
CC = cruise control
MT = manual transmission
ACC = adaptive cruise control
ADD = ? = automatic disconnect differential

TIA

 

and the morons that think driving is boring that they must be on the phone all the time talking on speaker phone holding the phone like a piece of toast or pizza

 

Replaced PCV today, 66,260 miles. Clamp was loose so I repositioned it on the install. Pic of lower 12mm bolt from wheel well, loosened but not removed.


Loose, then tight.
