What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i installed my LED light bar today

 

I went a size taller, haven't been off the pavement yet and they are super quiet.I didn't change the spare, its never been usedYes a good deal from CT

 

I did a complete 30K Fluid Service on my 2019 TRD Pro.
Engine Oil and Filter
Front and Rear Differentials
Transfer Case
Complete Transmission Fluid and Filter and Gasket Change.

I went to the Stealership to get the Transfer Case Oil. They wanted $181 for a quart. But said that German Made Fluid was on backorder.
I got on Amazon and found it for $91 a quart. Got it the next day. Thank Goodness it only takes 1 quart.

There are some good videos on YouTube regarding Auto Transmission Fluid Filter Change on your Taco. Not difficult but have everything on hand and prepared.

Thats all I got right now. Peace

 

Yeah I think you are right. My aging eyes thought the size in the picture was 255 instead of 265. I’m looking at all tire options. From my current 31.5” to 33”. So many options and pros and cons.

I see CT has those tires in a 32”. 255/75R17 On sale for a tempting price.

They aren’t too common of a size. However I thought 32” skinnies may be a good option for the type of driving I do.

 

That's not a truck! That's a TOY!

A very nice toy too!

 

I would have painted it with zinc rich spray... but the replacement was not likely costly.
Heck, a rattle can of paint is 10 bucks!

 

That's not shrink wrap, that is the inside skin of the rubber boot that insulates the plug lead.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate"
A truly electrifying situation. and I'm sure ozone was evolved!

 

Finally had some decent weather and installed some Tourch Off Road shocks in the rear to go with my icon leaf springs. Also tried to do the front but failed to get the original suspension off due to rust.

 

Replacing the splash guards turned into more, I know this going in. I have to do the routine clean before starting so apc everything in the wheel wells, it’s been awhile. Removed & cleaned the gatorback flaps, iron removal and deep scrubbing on the inner wheels- that was the worst part. Checked the torque on spidertrax spacers… and then I can start


The body is dirty af and I’ve been procrastinating, the plastics are fading a bit and need to do another c4 treatment. Started on cleaning and treating seals in the door jams but need to finish the other 3 doors (I only get occasional openings after work if the yard/garden don’t need attention)

 

I greatly appreciate this level of cleaning.

 

One of my cam tabs was folding over so I bent it back straight and then welded the back sides of all the tabs to support them to prevent future issues

 

Same on my 2017. I assume just not as much salty foot traffic on the passenger side.

 

Heck yeah! We are so glad to hear you have been loving it! Lightweight but durable is the name of the game! We sent you a message about your snaps are happy to work with you to get that resolved!

 

You guys are so cool!!

 

Thanks for the link...
That is not a plug n play right??
I have to plans of cutting any wires on this truck.. lol

 

This things was so hard to take a pic of. Just mirrory finish. I take a 3m green scrubbie and make a circle on it every now and then but I guess my hand polishes it. Some guys have painted theirs, filled in the numbers and pattern line. But I don’t think it would stay if I did it.

 

That is cool. I like the knurling and the TRD engraving on the collar .

 

Rick did an amazing job. I don’t know how many he produced, but here is the thread

And I did the fog lights at lunch today. So much better.
