What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

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...

 

They say West Virginia is the least expensive state to live.

 

Installed a Mammoth Diff Drop kit and repainted the skid plate while I had it off the truck.

 

Seems looking at the weight is really more important than load range. When talking AT tires it seems one brands E range may actually be close in weight to another's C.

 

Google disagrees

“West Virginia is often ranked among the worst states in various categories, including health outcomes, affordability, and overall quality of life.”
