What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They make performance parts for Toyota trucks

 

I thought it mostly was a 4Runner only thing until today

 

God I hope not!

 

I have a quad lock mag charger on my dash and the phone gets very hot on long drives (over 4 hours in the sun) when it's 85-90f days up here in Minnesota but has never overheated.
I would imagine in southern heat of 95f+ you might run into overheating if on long road trips.

 

First thing when I brought my Tacoma home my nephew was making fun of me and asked about a "Wittle Wadder". I was like WTF are you talking about? ( He drives a long travel XJ beater...) Then I was walking my dog and started noticing all the tiny little ladders on all the hipster "overland" builds in my neighborhood. Then I laughed...cuz wittle wadders are a thing in suburbia...

 

Also used it to bring a new toy back to the new property. Been a fun day today.

2025 Can Am Defender XT HD9

 

Not a perfect match for the the flatlink, but close enough for the mall.

 

I did the same. I don't mind the chrome on the inside, but hated it on the outside. Pro headlights, taillights and wheels. I tinted the mirror repeaters and front logo. Truck already came with all black overlays.

 

I will direct air vent flow up.

 

I ordered that one, installed it, and ended up sending it back. It didn't reach out far enough so when the phone was on the mount it ended up hitting the radio. At least for the angle and position I wanted it at. I do have one in my Mustang tho.

 

Went over the oem. At first, it was hard to close without slamming it. After a couple days it stretched out and now closes just as before, nice and easy. And the wrinkles went away too.

 

I have just laid my phone on the dash while getting in the car and the screen started acting up from the heat... lol
With the Taco, I just put my phone in the cubbyhole under the HVAC controls, I don't need it for anything while using Andriod Auto...
But the old Vibe/Matrix, I used a phone holder that went in the CD slot, worked great...

I just don't see any/many modded Tacos in my area and never ever seen a local overland build of any kind...

 

And it's not only pure hwy and gravel hwy drive (by the way I never had engaged 4x4 on Dempster (wasn't necessary, at my point)).
40 mile abandoned settlement was closed for public, but... There is few trenches across the road, to barricade... What to say (I knew that, done before)- again proofing, stock TRD OR 6MT very capable. In skilled hands.
Reminds me proverb from the past :
"If your hands skilled enough, you can play banjo even on your dick!"

 

Washed it and fill up with 91 again. I think I'm going to order one of these...

No wire-splice ... good idea. Too bad the presenter of that video is so dull and boring ...

 

Where you gonna put your button?

 

Chloe is pretty monotone but thorough and done just about everything on her trucks.

 

I just started watching her recently. She is a computer scientist, as am I, and I find her fine to watch. But I watch at 2x speed. Her voice works well sped way up.

 

All very technical. She’s sponsored and what not. I don’t solely watch her videos, but she’s always worth a watch.
