What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

what caused it?

 

ok 4 banger

 

Looked kinda like a key, idk for sure. Forgot to ask discount tire this morning when they patched it

 

Why did that hyperlink lol

 

They are listed as a vendor here and seem to be pretty supportive of and responsive to the TW community.

Glad they patched it. I cut a sidewall on a tire with maybe 10k miles on it and replaced just that one with a matching tire. The truck pulled on the highway due to different wear amounts, much more than I expected, so I had to go back and have them swap the spare onto the other side.

 

Worked on a 2nd version of a high clearance rear bumper. The initial version offered less protection and didn't allow proper fitment of a swing-out hinge.


It'll eventually have additional bracing to the frame plates along with a swing out tire carrier and a hidden hitch.

 

For anyone that cares, the nail in my tire wasn’t in deep at all, didn’t even fully puncture it. They pulled it and told me to bring it back if I have any issues, but I’m not worried about it.

 

Added the weBoost Drive Reach Overland. Very easy install and works well. It increased my cell reception by 24dBm. Was difficult to justify this purchase of $500 but I continually drop calls by my house and figured it would help in the woods. I got the “overland” version for the bracket that comes with it. Very easy install.

 

Installed the OEM tailgate power lock today. It wasn’t a complete pain in the ass but pretty close. The YouTube videos leave out about half of what you need. Since I forgot to take pictures here’s the video I followed.

I found the Toyota install instructions to cover almost all of it surprisingly well and made it into a rather easy job. Never bothered to even look at youtube videos.

 

Did nothing today, other than scheduled something for my truck.

i drove down the hill today on an extremely bright, clear and sunny day and the reflection off the silver hood on my 23' Off Road was right in my eyes. No visor can deal with that. It doesn't happen to often but I decided that will be about my last experience with it. I scheduled a hood wrap for next Tuesday. Just deciding now what shape it will be.

 

That angled section against the windshield is brutal. I wouldn't mind satin black wrapping just that part.

 

Love the new look. I didn’t know you moved to IL. I have been eyeing the Smartcap myself. I had the Leer cap before switching to the DB.

 

That for sure is the worst, especially on my silver truck. The silver is like a mirror. I'm looking forward to the wrap.

 

Sunglasses seems to be an easier fix, tinting the windshield also helped, but really sunglasses.

 

that can be patched or plugged
do you have road haz warranty?
DT dont like to repair but they like to sell new ones
a smaller tire shop would fix it

 

a fail in NY means its ok and safe everywhere else

 

sunglasses?

 

May be repairable, ich not inside the first 1/3 from the wall. However, my life may depend on the tires. That is why I do not fix, I replace.

 

I'll stick with the wrap, boys
