What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

nope. SPC uppers. I’m running SCS 17x9 -38mm at the moment. I got these because they’re the same fitment

 

what lug nuts or stud did you get to make em fit?

 

Passed 30,000 miles so it was time to change the fluids in the front and rear differentials, the transfer case since I was under it anyways, and changed the oil. Also did the front diff bolts upgrade. Was worried that drain bolt was over torqued due to reading some of the horror stories here but it came out with no issue.

Taking it to go get some new tires; replacing the Goodyear Wranglers it came with and getting a 5th tire since I'm also replacing the steel spare with an extra rim I bought back during a Black Friday sale.

 

im already running 17x9 -38mm on my scs. I’ll probably keep em and just change out wheels when I get bored of the look

 

Stock studs conical lugs. There's reduced thread engagement but not too the degree I'm concerned. My ssw's on the other hand i have been a little sketched out by the lack of thread engagement

 

Welcome to the rabbit hole of why they're still in the boxes.

Got the Softopper installed today. Now time to enjoy this 65 degree day, cheers!

 

Got the tailgate remote lock kit (

$266 PK3B635JS0 Toyota Genuine 2019 & Newer Tacoma Short Wheelbase Tailgate Lock (PK3B6-35JS0)

PK3B635JS0) installed today. It was a really simple install.

 

I’m interested, can you send me the link please

but you should be able to get it from any Toyota dealer (this is the OEM one for the DC shortbed)

 

Much appreciated

 

Installed some bull bar and roof rack lights.

 

It’s called ‘poetic license’ wise guy. And my nails are fine. Always keep them cut short and strong in case of emergencies.

 

No clue. I think I checked but didn’t log it. They are SL’s so not very tall. Mostly highway miles. Last 5k or so started feeling slippery taking off on wet pavement but otherwise excellent traction and quiet ride still

 

I like that you mention can charge wen the vehicle is off, what did you run this to for install? was it easy? got a link?

 

Had been looking at new wheels and tires for my son’s ‘20 SR5. Decided to go with the Toyota SR5 special edition wheels in black and he wanted Falken Wildpeaks AT4W, stayed stock 265/70/16. He’s very happy with and I think looks great.
Just for FYI
Local dealer wanted approx $2000 for wheels, center caps and black lugs. I had used Lewis Toyota in Topeka Kansas last year when I purchased my Pro with the Black Friday sale and bought a bunch of items for good deal. Called them on this, $800 for all including shipping. Dealt with Hunter.
Tires, used All Weather Tire Pros in Huntington NY, I believe great deal, fast and great customer service. Dealt with owner Jimmy Sr. I’m no expert but tires seemed to balance well, and no issues with highway speeds.

 

Changed to interior LED's as well as rear plate lights.

 

that’s been my experience here in central pa for the past 50 years, those vehicles that get winter use, then stored in a heated garage typically see salt corrosion sooner than those left out in freezing weather over many winters.

 

Got my shoes rotated. Was tempted to pay $81 (+ 7% government-overreach) for one-piece lugs to replace the OEM 2-piece lugs. I watched a DT technician who had a full shop of tools take 30 minutes to remove just one of the two-piece lugs from my Corolla when the outer-part broke from the inner part.

 

Those poor bastards are under paid. I know they are not all master techs but damn, in the summer when it’s hot as hell here in NC, forget about it!
