What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Is that a parking ticket?

 

What roof rack is that? I ordered the same voodoo crossbar set. Looking around for a rack that might work. Really liking the one you've got! Thanks.

 

Light reflecting of upper left corner

 

I saw very little change. But I did see a change. 2mpg? No. 0.3? Probably.

 

I thought myth busters did this and determined a tonneau cover actually decreases mpg, something to do with the bed creates a pocket of air that decreases resistance, even so I love my cover and wouldn't remove it.

 

It's the reflection of a store sign

 

If I remember it was open bed with tailgate up or down. Down got worse mileage as it disrupted the vortex in the bed that created an air cushion that contributed to aerodynamics.

Honestly is is just a Cheap rack off of Amazon

$297 Highland 1041900 U-Venture Steel Rooftop Cargo Basket, Old Style

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GMHTQ8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 it has done the job well though, used to have it on my BMW x3 and hauled gas cans, plywood camping gear ect on it with no issues. I mounted it on these crossbars with some U bolts that go over the tube then into the voodoo crossbar set with some nylock nuts so it won't come loose

 

Undercoating done last night and plastidipped the grill and badging today

 

Did you use a diff drop kit.?

 

Didn't your taco come uncoated already or does not all of them come with that?

 

None do

 

If anyone is interested in adding switches to the overhead console, you need to follow this thread:

Soon we will all be able to add some additional switches to the Overhead Console and have it look factory.

 

installed some headliner patches i have a bunch of patches i had on my 2gen taco but the new headliner on the 3gen makes it really hard to stick them up there. Any suggestions?

Liking the stock look. What size and tire did you go with? How do they handle the snow?

 

That looks like Richland Road. I was just up there for the first time last Tuesday. I was by myself, so I turned back where it got muddy at the top before making it to the playground. I want to go back with a few friends next time.

 

I went with the KO2'S. No lift or level (got a dog box in the bed that is kinda hidden) but ended up running 265/75/16. I almost ran with the Duratracs but I've had nothing but good experiences with these tires in the past. They handle great in the snow. I'm finding myself using 4x4 slightly less as I have pretty good weight on the back end.
