What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sweet I'm gonna print some at work for sure!!

 

Diffy juices swapped after 4.88 gears installed and broken in. Fluid very clean.

 

You do lockers while you had em apart?

 

Yes sir!

 

Wow. That's nice. That's an option I can consider. Cheaper too instead of buying new tail lamps. Only $16 bucks.

 

finally went hard shell taco...Leer 100XQ with keyless entry tied to factory fob, factory roof rack rails (key to maintain warranty!) and LED lighting inside

Also, since last post...2020 TRD Pro Wheels with KO2's

 

My new bed and door decals arrived today.








Lol, they will match my full size ones from Cboy I put on regular size truck.

 

Got a link to where you bought those? I want to do something like that with my grill when I get it. Looks good.

 

Never mind d. I found some !

 

We have a 2020 build going on this week!

 

Yea cheaper for sure. Someone on here used it and posted about it a while back. Definitely an option. If I recall it looked good that's why I kept the info. Good luck and post pics if you go that route.

 

So my clutch just all of the sudden went out on me. Drive totally fine all week and suddenly died completely.

I tried to drive out of the driveway and felt some resistance/binding from the driver side rear so I suspect my my E-brake froze to my drums and me trying to get drive out of that ended up smoking an already worn clutch (55k miles on original clutch, weird I know). Truck is at the shop getting a new clutch put in. Super sad times over here. I'm just really glad this happened in my driveway and not while out on the trails! Oh well, at least now I'll have a fresh clutch for the upcoming camping season.

 

I WORK ON MY TRUCK

I thought I’d try out the air dam removal. I don’t really care about the mpg consideration and very much like the look. Now, I’ll have to look at some skid plates.

 

Finally got my SS gift mounted.

 

55k on your clutch, and it's out? Man - do you abuse it on occasion? I ask, because I beat my Dakota some, and it was fine through 115k with a V8. At least it's fixable...

I think my rear drums were frozen this AM too - in drive, parking brake off....no go. wtf. reverse. go. blah.

 

Got some new tires. Toyo AT II

 

I've only owned the truck for 1 month so if there was any abuse it was done on the previous owners watch. I only really went off roading in it for the first time last Saturday. Didn't abuse it. Toyota wouldn't warrenty it because its a "wear item" and the dealership that sold me the truck said I was on my own because I bought it "as-is" but they did help me find an affordable shop to do the work. Toyota wanted $3,500 to do the work, shop we found is doing it for $2,000...swift kick in the fiscal shorts but such is life.

 

Nice! I like the Toyo’s. Nice look while not overly aggressive on the street.

 

There have been quite a few people on here with 3rd gens reporting premature clutch failure. But, Toyota says "wear item, $3500 or GTFO". I think there was one a few weeks ago that went out at 30k, guy claimed to have driven stick forever, no abuse or wheeling, and got the same treatment.
