What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey thanks! It's a short bed lol - gotta learn the lingo! Do I need to update my profile

 

Your welcome..

Need to, no... But it is nice to be able to look over and see what someone is driving, that way if you are doing a mod that someone might be interested in, a quick look will tell them if an AC or DC and LB or SB, so it would be nice to see the DCSB after the MT... But that is just me...lol

And don't feel bad, it took me a while to figure out what AC and OR meant...

 

I have a ‘22 Trail and when a buddy of mine upgraded his fogs, he gave me his old ones. Factory but hey, free is for me. I went on ahead and bought a factory stalk with the fog light switch on it to free up a switch for a future light. It looked naked without the fogs and will upgrade it to ambers in time. Have my eye on a set, but unsure if I want to have amber fogs or amber ditch lights first.

 

"what did you do today to your Tacoma?"

I updated my username information lol

 

Took one of my pitty's to the store to pick up groceries...

 

Me too.

AC still has me stumped.

I also like to look at the OP's region too, sometimes that helps to know what driving conditions he's got, but, not everyone posts that info either. Oh well.

 

Yeah as a mechanic (retired) when I see AC I think of A/C (air conditioner), so it took awhile to figure out it means Access Cab... lol

As far as the OR, I kept thinking, why can't y'all make up your minds, then it hit me Off Road...

And yes, I like to see details, don't assume we all know what you drive...
Neat to see what part of the world members live also...

 

GUYS, I recreated my squeaky. This is after spraying down each leaf front to back, inside outside, all the antisqueak separater pads with sticky lube.

This was a brain twister, didn't know if it was front or rear, and it sounds like a chirpy tweaty bird, one tweat always, that doesn't always chirp, like with the spring when slowly hitting a speed bump, and pushing on rear or front bumper could not, replicate in garage. I tried rocking the radiator and no noise there either. Until tonight.

With hood open, leaning against front light, belly up against headlight, and pushing, I got it on video. Can anyone suggest what is making this noise please? Other headlight does not generate this noise. In between the creaking, is the squeak I hear while driving, like when I cruise over thickly painted road directions or pedestrian crosses. I'm shaking the camera quite a bit while filming.

Tia.

OKAY. Did a little research, I'm 99.9% certain this is whats making the noise.

~$25.00 I'll give it a shot.

Truth in that. Thanks.

 

Totally agree. You got a nice spreader probably helped quite a bit, I used plumbers pliers, 2 pair, that was a little squirrley.

 

Ditch lights are nice in twisty trails at night. Seeing around the corner is pretty helpful.

 

AC = Atlantic City. Neew Yawk people misplace many $$ there every year.
OR = Oregon. A pretty state with a mountain in the north parts you can almost day hike in the summer.

 

Lb= Long Beach (several of these)
Sb= south beach, no need to go there.

 

SR5 = the last name name of some git called @DavesSR5.

 

What's going on here?

 

Not sure. I got lost thinking about Oregon.

 

What is the current "short list" for your move?

 

E range is a minor dare i say negligent compromise when running 255's. I have the Yoko's and for my ussage are great. However, until Falken came along the only options were MT's and there's quite a few on-road compromises that must be accounted for (noise, gas mileage, etc)

 

I need to make up my mind on where I want to be. Probably going to take a few more trips to scope some places out soon. Lakes and pines or beaches and palms.

I have 99% of my junk in storage and I'd really like to get it out of there.

 

True. I have a set of white ditch lights atm. These would just be a color change if it happens.
