What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nailed it.

Yeah, there's a few threads around here. I like the garmin dash cam mini because they network, sync times, do audio/visual, use microSD's, tolerate heat well, and work with an app. They're also really low-key and hard to spot if you aren't looking for 'em. Plus the USB cords they send are great. For a front stealth install, you're gonna want a short 6" cable to use with the power rearview mirror splice plug. Easy enough with Amazon.

For the rearview, the long cable it comes with is long enough if you route it. You don't even need to shave it if you feed the micro-USB end through instead of the USB end. All you need tool-wise is a 10mm socket long enough to reach the bolts in the center console cubbyhole.

 

Yeah when I started a couple of weeks ago I took a practice and was at like 50% with that being said I am a tech for a school system here and have been super busy it's not if we get c19 it's just when I have been busy with 3d Printing stuff for local blood banks and doctors offices the ear saver things for face mask etc.. So I stay busy

 

I thought the exact same thing. Block the license plate when you drive see how far you'll get

 

as would anyone with any sort of empathy or common sense, two things severely lacking in modern american society.

 

Okay, guys, I am looking to what the heck this is the thing in the corner not the beer I know what and how to use it lol just wondering if i can peel it off


not sure

 

Finally added a Eibach lift.

 

Yeah! Love the lure. But had to do repairs recently. Crack in the corners leaked water. But all good now. Adding a trolling motor now just for fun!

 

RAIN-X contains denatured alcohol, but it is not pure denatured alcohol. When the alcohol it evaporates it leaves the sealant behind on the glass. I would still try a bit of isopropyl alcohol on a rag in a small spot and see how it does.

 

I like your style

 

The sticker at the top? If you just got the truck its probably a RFID sticker for inventory at the dealership.

 

My 2019 had one of those. I was told that it's used for keeping track of inventory by Toyota and the dealers.
I removed mine a couple days after purchasing and have not had any issues.

Peel it off.

 

Yeah its like maybe a month old i don't need any crap ocd bothers me lol

 

I SOOOOO want that bumper with the wings!! Looks so good, like it should have come OEM.

 

I would also very much like to know what that is. I just went out and looked at mine. It seems pretty stout, like it's got a couple layers to it, whatever it is. Now that I know it's there, I am tempted to peel it off, but I'm afraid there's a sticker underneath that says "WARRANTY VOIDED" or something.

 

Black water falls state park, Davis WV. One of my favorite areas. Off to explore the dolly sods tomorrow.

10.4 mpg average from Pittsburgh

 

Don't touch it!!! You may just explode

 

My daughter is perfectly fine.
What pisses me off most about it is that she just switched medication and while at school made a joke about suicide. So it was straight to the ER ($4,000) just to sit around, no tests/scans, then a mandatory ambulance ride to another hospital ($2,000) then a week stay at mental health hospital (fucking $31,000) just to be monitored, no tests/scans.
All she really needed was to be watched for 6-8 hours for her medicine to wear off and just switch back to what she was taking.
So a joke in bad taste while on anti-anxiety meds ended up costing $37,000. At least I hit my $7,000 deductible so my wife could get foot surgery for free and my son got all his ADHD tests and meds for free too.

My other horrible experience was years ago during a bike ride event my son crashed and was crying. He was just in shock but one of the course officials was extremely adamant that his collar bone was broken. Of course we are 10 miles away from my car so it was a $1500 ambulance ride the 3 miles to the hospital and $3500 for just one xray and a doctor to say he's fine just a scrape on his elbow.

What I have learned from all of this though is I will never call an ambulance unless it is life or death, Uber is just as fast and waaaay cheaper. And second I will walk right out of a hospital if I think what they are doing is bullshit.

Every year I pay $4,000 minimum for medical. Most years it's closer to $6,000 so even if my taxes increased 30% I would still come out ahead.

 

Take the damn thing off! Don't be so timid, you are a Tacoma truck owner.

 

i think i've been to that same campground. right next to some 4x4 trails?

 

Yeah, I'll definitely be taking it off, now that it's been pointed out. I always like reading the "what is this thing???" posts on here, they are usually interesting.
