What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks! Hope yours gets there soon.

I should have paid them to install ($60 for REI members) it as there was a little bit of assembly and I'm not Hulk enough to get it on my rack. But, my oldest came over and we figured it it out.

 

I can't like that. Neither that you hate me or that you got the wrong seat covers.

ANy idea when the correct ones will get to you? I've been wondering what happened when you didn't post any pictures.

 

I got tha newest shoes! DIRTY GODDAMN!

 

Hahah, you know I love ya buddy, even though you make me spend money daily

Coverking is saying few more weeks now

 

and they bolt to this. but to their credit they tell you that they're decorative.

 

It's like a shared sickness - we just keep coming up with new ways to tweak these trucks...and spend money. My wife just rolled her eyes at me when I told her about the decals I'm getting for the trailer.

Sorry it's going to take so long for the covers!

 

At least your wife is pretty!!!

 

That she is. I am truly blessed to have found the love of my life when we were both 19. Life is good, my friend!

 

No doubt about that. Did she call you Mr. President, when you were 19?

If life wasn't good, you wouldn't be worried about chrome screws

 

We have an agreement - Lynn is always considered one rank higher than me. Even as an Army Colonel and then a college president, she outranked me.

At age 19, her grandmother commented to her after I'd brought Lynn back from a date: "Mark is such a nice boy. It's too bad he's so homely."

That's why I need to have a good looking truck!

 

Homely Devious?! I don't believe it for a moment! Her grandma must have been blind

 

In the same way, There is no "metric system". ISO, MKS, JIS, Lots of millimeters , but No "METRICS".

Complaints come mostly just lazy people that don't have a conversion app installed on their phone. ;-)

 

Dreamed about replacing mine with an aluminum or carbon fiber, but probably not worth it

 

Man I REALLY REALLY REALLY dig those wheels! They look incredible!

 

New Project: Rokform iPhone holder (Magnetic Swivel Dash Mount) $29, SKU: 336201 [NOT A PAID ENDORSEMENT]

I'll start out by saying I use ROKFORM for my Harley Street Glide Special - been using them for almost three years now. Love the Harley ROKFORM - and the case as well. Durable - made for people like me who *CONSTANTLY* drop shit left and right - so - needed a iPhone case that kept my phone safe - AND - was able to attach to my Harley (You can sort of see it on the right handgrip just under the mirror).


I've been looking at iPhone attachment devices for my Tacoma. Came across this little ROKFORM magnet holder. Was thinking - maybe it would work, maybe not. It's small, doesn't look annoying on my front dash. It's Gloss Black (like my truck) and it will WORK with my ROKFORM case. But - because its a magnet - wasn't sure how it would hold up on the road - and vibration when I was off-road. But - I bought it anyways. Figured, its $30 - so what do I have to lose, right? (except $30).

I also wanted to incorporate the Smittybilt Vehicle Clinometer because I think the one that they put on the TRD Off-Road and TRD Pro is pretty useless - and the Smittybilt allows me to set the truck type and *COLOR*. It has a LOT of features that the Tacoma one JUST DOES NOT HAVE. Hence the project.

So - bought the ROKFORM Swivel Dash Mount on Amazon, got it next day, peeled off the backing for the tape and stuck it on (after cleaning the plastic of course).

Here it is - attached to the top of my air vent area.


Side profile of the ROKFORM Magnetic Swivel Dash Mount


The ROKFORM Rugged iPhone 12 Pro case has two magnets, one in the center, and one in that square rubber pad.


Mounted with the Center Magnet in Horizontal mode running my Smittybilt Clinometer App.


Mounted with the Center Magnet in Vertical mode running my Smittybilt Clinometer App.


Mounted with the Lower Magnet in Vertical mode


Mounted with the Lower Magnet in upside down mode
(Not all apps work in upside down mode)


OK - so how does it behave in regular traffic abuse. Actually - great. With the center magnet, it never budged - stayed in the same position. The Smittybilt app worked great. Sound affects and everything. Love it.

The lower magnet worked great as well - but as you can see - if mounted high on the dash, it will block your line of sight. You can opt to hang the phone upside down - but not all apps work upside down, and it also depends where you attach the base as well.

 

Nice I just ordered a set.

12Tac

 

nice dude! I want one.

 

New Project: De-badging of the SR5 Insignia

Well... I pulled off the SR5 blacked out emblem. I kept the Tacoma one on there because I like it.


AND... SR5 emblem is gone.

 

...why TRD OffRoad badges on an SR5? Just curious, no hate.
