What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Perfectly timed my 5k service.

 

There's an easy joke in there, but I won't give in to temptation.
















Dammit..."you got screwed." I'm so ashamed of myself right now.

 

I ust got some too

 

Just rolled 69,000 miles

 

I have them in 4 ply. Love them! Going on the Bronco in a few months too.

 

Just added a few little cheap touches to the inside of the cab. @Tacowiede radio knobs and some letters on the glove box.

 

Wow @tandemgeek I thought I was thorough with my records! That's awesome. I might copy your spreadsheet layout.

On another note, is anyone else interested to know if the Lexus IS250 or 350 2GR-FSE engine cover would fit our Tacomas?



I do realize that the oil filler neck might need to be modifed.

Is there anyone with a IS250 or 350 willing to give it a shot and post some details?

 

Are these overlays over the chrome badges or did you purchase the emblems in black? I'm wondering if it's better to buy the overlays or just get new badges.

It takes me 10 weeks to think about getting something done. I've had a new grille since last September that MIGHT get installed in the next month or so. It's the second of two, changed my mind before the first one ever made it to prime time.

 

These are the OEM overlays. (Very well made)
The bootleg Chinese ones fall off & I wasn't able to find OEM black outs

 

Finished plans for the overlanding bed drawer system, complete with space for a solar power bank and water system. Time to build!




...Also decided I didn't want to drop $720 to buy and ship a designer shell roof rack when I could make my own for less than $150. Will be water-jetted next week.

 

Got the genesis G-screen installed. I’m not running a dual battery, that’s why it’s yellow. It allows me to monitor my battery, but mainly I wanted the air pressure gauge. Nice clean install

 

Haha. The one I work at? It's happened before, but not this time. It's odd that the setup I have doesn't cover patches, but covers a brand new tire.

 

I definitely left myself open for that. I would have done the same thing.

 

Not that odd. Patches are considered "unsafe" (yeah, I use them too). Has to do with heat dissipation. Use of a plug or patch could potentially lead to a blow-out.

 

Makes sense. Just doesn't seem cost effective for them. I'm ok with that too. Either way, as a dealership employee I'd get a bit of a break. I'm happy with the outcome.

 

Can I fit 33" tires without a lift or cutting anything?
