What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lovin’ how this looks. Can’t wait till my Softopper comes in next week.

 

If you want the red beadlock bolts to stand out then I will trade you my Sport tail lights for those awful looking black ones. Sounds like a good deal to me.

 

where did you get that, was it easy to install??

 

Importequipment.com and wasn't bad. Trick is keeping red decal wet until positioned then use a hairdryer to get bubbles out. The wording decal is very simple. You can choose any color scheme and various wording. It does cover the backlighting but I think we can find it in the dark. I spent an extra $3 to get a 2nd one just in case. Think it was $12 for 2.

 

Drove mine 1.1 mile weekly shopping trip to Walmart.

 

You are going to wear that puppy out

 

Someone will get a good one next year...

 

You should never get rid of it. That thing will last forever with the 2.7. My last 2.7 has 200k miles and never had an engine problem. At 156k I thought the transmission solenoids were bad due to the fault codes. Bought a new set, dropped the pan, and the only problem was a broken wire. Fixed the wire and all was fine. A friend has 260k on his and is finally having an oil consumption issue. Awesome engine.

 

I may keep it but I will have to take a Scotch Brite pad and scuff the black paint up real good so I won't have to bother keeping the damn thing shiny.

 

Had my share of black vehicles so know what you mean. Just clean it good and bury it in wax. At least it will be protected and a little easier to wash. There is alway canned spray bedliner if you really get tired of it.

 

Well, today’s todo list was to finish up detailing my old car so I can put it up for sale but seeing as most of what I’ll get for it will go to the bank and the rest towards my plates I chose to put that on the back burner and decided to wash wax and debadge the taco instead haha might need to get some rubbing compound to go over where some of the badges were because I can still see the out line of some of them but all in all she’s lookin pretty sharp! Now just need some new wheels and tires and I’ll be content til I have monies for suspension goodies!

 

looks like im sealing my leaky 3rd brake light from the outside

 

Toyota does this: 5k miles - check fluids, rotate tires. 10k - oil change. 15k same as 5k, 20k same as 10k. Synthetic oil good for 10k miles before changing. If you request them do use your 10k service at 5k they will probably do it (did for me) but it's prob not necessary

 

What! Those are the best wheels...haha. There are plenty of people here that will take those off your hands!

 

I have a appointment with the dealer on Monday for mine. I shall see what they say...

 

My dealer is pretty decent, but they wouldn't do my 5k....had to pay, so I pricemached like discount tires price or something...was 20$. Next time I'll just do it

 

Haha I’m sure they will get scooped up quickly, I actually like them and think they look pretty good on my truck. I just want 16x8 with 4.5 bs so the stick out just a touch and hopefully won’t rub once I am lifted and running wider tires.

 

Got my Redline Tuning hood struts mounted today. Easier than I thought. Obviously feels weird taking a drill to a <3 month old vehicle.

I watched this video on youtube just to make sure I was doing it right: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX_OervyX08
