What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I removed the bed side stickers when it was new, but every time I wax it I want to debadge the chrome Tacoma on the doors and v6 on the tailgate. Your photos have me convinced. They are coming off the day before the next waxing.

 

Where did you get the tie downs? Really like the idea.

 

I don't know where he got his, but I have been looking at these.

And if they rattle I can’t hear it in the cab.

 

Filled up with gas. 402 miles for 16.3 gallons = 24.6 mpg. On and off highway with fastest speed around 65. I love it. A little over 2000 miles now. The TRD exhaust is starting to sound good too.

The exchange rate is killing us and I think the couriers are hiking the price since the C-19 thing has occurred.

 

That's awesome my friend!! Definitely thinking outside box with the Huey decal, very creative.

 

Changed oil for tranny, front and rear diff, and greased the only zerks I could find on my front driveshaft.
Is the non-serviceable rear shaft supposed to be better than a grease-able part?

 

Don't you also have to pay the 5% VAT on stuff you buy from over the border. I don't remember if it was one of you guys, or someone from the UK, but I recall be asked to make sure I put "used" on the customs form.

I'm not sure what the reason-du-jour is, but shipping has been really expensive. They used to say it was fuel prices, but for a few months there, gas prices were at record lows and we sure as hell didn't see any break in the rates.

Even the small flat-rate box from USPS jumped up from around $5 to over $8 USD a while back.

 

Got my interior back from Suade It.. just finished the install.

 

Woah... That's unique! I admire your dedication.

2008 Tundras had a signature edition. You may have already tried to source one of these:

I put these behind mine to cut down on the sound of them slapping the side of the bed.

 

Thanks Chief, I appreciate that.

 

So far today, '20 Pro tails and Meso Stage 1.



Having an orange Nehi and working up the ambition to the Pro headlights.

 

Where did you end up ordering the tails lights from?

 

Nice! What size tire you runnin?

 

I did another thing...

K&N CAI... I would recommend anybody getting a CAI of any brand do a quick hardware check before putting everything together. The band clamps that K&N sent me were pretty pathetic. Easily stripped. Get some heavy duty band clamps and DON'T overtighten them. They just need uniform contact and lots of surface area to create a good seal.

Edit**** also, K&N does not instruct you to secure your MAF wiring harness to anything. Save yourself the headache 50,000 miles from now and zip-tie it to the intake tube.
