What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

We have a Tacoma in the family again. My son just picked up a 2020 Pro.

 

Very interesting. Is that heater heating the cooling fluid, or the oil, or both? Was there a plug in the block you had to remove to get the new heater inserted into? What fluid leaked out when you removed that plug?

 

Put it to work. And before anyone loses their mind, trailer has been sitting in one spot for a year. My F150 couldn’t move it due to spinning tires. Dual lockers and 4WLO and it came right out. It’s not going down the street behind it. Tires were sunk into the ground about 4 inches.

 

Taco was working hard today. Hauled 1x yard of gravel and pallet of retaining wall- approx. 4000 lbs

 

Worked on my power panel in the back

 

How are you finding the X3’s handle on the road? Are they super noisy for a mud tire?

 

Bonus points to Mr. Burk for living in FL yet having thoughtful questions about a block heater. Well done, Sir.

 

Not sure I would own a white vehicle but I’ve seen some nice looking white 3rd Gen’s. Like this one

 

We've had a small handful of folks ask about mounting a firearm to our scheel-man mounting solutions. So instead of answering those questions one-by-one we figured it was a good time to do a general write-up about and posted it onto our blog:

Thank you, thank you very much. Hey I never know when I might be heading up north. I always thought the block heater was a great idea, and luxurious, also one that I never had owned while living in the rust belt where it would have come in handy during a few winters up there. And actually, would be nice to know if the install was simple and clean, or challenging and messy.

 

Me too

 

First bath with my free pressure washer.
Having a pressure washer is great.

 

Yes, a pressure washer will change your life. Careful when using to blast off what you thought were bug guts that turned out to be a paint chip that suddenly enlarged as you applied the pressurized water to the “bug guts”. Not that I have first hand experience, said no one ever!

 

lol Yea I can see how that would happen. I did the Tacoma the dodge and the driveway, The driveway changed from dirty to new concrete.

 

That block heater slides into a recess in the block and heats the block. No fluids, no plugs, just slide it in and run power.

 

Crawled under the truck and checked The witness marks I left from when I installed The lift

 

Picked up the truck from the detailers. 2 year PPF and ceramic coat inspection, fallout removal and wash.

 

I've run 2 sets. They're garbage tires.

 

they are very quiet for an mt. quieter than many ats ive had experience with. they wear like iron and wear evenly on both trucks ive ran them on without even rotating them. ride quality is also up with the best of them. basically the only flaw with these tires is they suck in the winter but pretty much all mud terrains do. i swap to general grabber atx for my winter setup.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I had the Grabber ATXs a couple years ago and loved them. Then I went to the Yokohama g003s. I always feel like maybe I should have tried the X3s instead. I’m still considering them but I do a lot of highway miles.
