What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

what bumper is that? its clean

 

That's the one

I had red sets in my previous 1996 and 2006 Tacomas. I thought about putting some sort of leather in the 2016, but to me the 2-Color Neosupreme option just made the truck a little more sporty and fun. The leather seemed more along the lines of classy and durable and driving my Taco is more about fun.

I have to admit that after maybe 5 years the stitching in my 2006 started to pull on the bottom bolster of the driver's side from getting in and out of the trucks everyday. There's a photo below. I contacted CoverKing and they gave me a complete replacement set for $100. It was called a "REPAIR LEVEL C - FULL CSC REPL ACEMENT (NOT LEATHER)". I got exceptional customer service from the then account manager, Carol Clear. I put the replacement covers on a few months before I got the "new" truck and I ended up getting really good trade-in value towards the 2016

 

Installed the GY6.35 back up bulbs last night after work since Amazon showed up early. Nice improvement this morning backing into my parking spot in the dark. Really helps light things up.

 

Awesome unit of measure! Something we can all understand.

 

Found this from my 2006 too...

 

Do you have a link or model number for this one?

 

The model info on the eBay listing I got it from was: "AVS Bug Aeroskin II Shield Hood Protector (MAT-BLK) for 2016-2018 Toyota TACOMA".

Not positive, but I think the model number was 436079 and this is the manufacture's listing for that model.

 

Jeez, thought I was at work for a second. We have more flow charts than Carter has liver pills. Even the flow charts have flow charts! Oy!!

 

And now for the Q ball.

 

I haven't seen Carter's Liver Pills in ages. Do they still make them?

 

This is the tool you never knew you needed until you use it for the first time. The 4 mounting holes on each bracket distribute the weight much better than hanging anything of consequence off of the accessory rails.
No bed slap, no rattle, absolutely rock solid. Just using the rails would worry me and I would expect them to fail due to the constant back and forth movement and the banging against the bedsides would drive me nuts.
I will be using rivet nuts for my shovel and axe mount along with the same Bull Dog brackets. I'm mocking those up now.
I'm convinced that when mounting things in the bed rivet nuts are the most effecient way to go.

 

Welcome to TW M8!

 

Don't know about the liver pills but Geritol is still available.
Still trying to decide if that stuff really works.

 

I've been taking Geritol liquid (tastes gawd awful) for years. Might just be my imagination but I think it makes me feel better.

 

Fyi, current fuel consumption at this speed/rpm converted to American MPG- 19.7
Note, OEM tires with a modest suspension lift.

 

I hope it works. Awful isn't exactly how I would describe the taste.

 

Any pics installed?

 

I'll install it probably tonight, I wanted to let it dry good. I will take pictures once installed...

 

First I want to thanks those to helped me as I’m putting kings shocks within a few months I should of whet with a wilder tires setup but this will do.. I’m really short and this lift actually helped me see a lot I don’t do off road or any kind just a simple drive to work and home..
