What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

One reason I like the US is that one can live in desert, lakes and pines, or can choose beaches and palms. And still be within a day of the other places when you want. Hardly a need to get a passport and fly over an ocean.

 

Same.. mt hood is 2 hours from the ocean..

 

True, the thing with AZ is I have to drive 5-10 hours or more to see the places I want. Living abroad has some perks too. I wouldn't be opposed to moving to another country.

 

Years ago some Germans visiting/consulting to install large complicated machine took an annual vacation to drive from Indiana to points west and flew in their family. Upon return he marvelled at how you could drive all day and still be far from the destination. Says two things (1) America is vast (2) 4 hours drive in Europe can put you literally in a different country/culture. Both have their particular attraction.

 

Gave it a wash and then plastidipped the center piece on the front bumper.

 

Buying homes for a Euro Program have been populating on my YT feed.

Places like Greece, Italy, Spain by the ocean/sea look like great destinations to land.

This couple gives cost-of-living expenses.

These videos are so cool to watch...as background while doing chores or lounging on the couch.

I had a torque wrench on it for 83ft lbs

 

I do Japan every spring for 3 months at a whack. It’s always nice to get home to the PNW for summer.

 

New Michelin Defenders. Goodbye stock Toyos.

 

Well for one thing stop having relations with your headlamp!!!



If the new bushings don't take care of the issue/noise, then you might have to invest in some Chassis Ears to pin point the noise while driving...

 

Haha, I know, didn't sound good, apologies fewer words may have got the same message out.

I have been researching this topic since that post, and there is so much on this topic, this is a known issue. BUT I did not know that, or I was in complete denial. Since I got 74k+ miles, and the squeak is not outrageously annoying, I'm hoping that the bushing, en-route for delivery today, will eliminate all noise for another 75k miles. I suppose I will replace both front mounts and leave it at that.

 

Quick odd question, at the higher speed, did you still have you air dam (chin strap) installed??

Just wondering if all these members saying their Tacos are scary at high speeds have them removed or not?? As I said, mine is Very stable at 95mph and I am still running my air dam...
