What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Howdy neighbor! I can see by the size of that hailstone, you are North by North East of me lol.
Hope everything is good after that. Got a little dicey last night!

 

Saucy man, looks awesome

 

looks like a nice piece of hardware. might look into those.

 

Touchless uses acidity sprays and alkaline sprays to create the chemical reaction to lift off the dirt. Looks great, but something you don't want to use if you keep your vehicle longer than a few years.

It's one of the dirty little secrets of the auto wash industry. They say "soap and pressure wash," but if you PH tested it, you have an idea what is really going on.

A friend is a chemical engineer who works on that stuff and told me to use the hand wash, two buckets method.

 

Better than touch washes and I don't wash by hand.

 

Looks great. Makes me want to look into a Pro skidplate. Love the black lettering. Where you get this skid? Toyota?

 

Dawn cleans real well but it removes car wax.

100%

 

Ouch, ouch, ouch. My old Chevy was almost totaled due to hail damage. Took the check, kept on driving. Over the next 10 years, the Texas heat/cold cycles worked out almost all the dents!

Go onto Carvana and get a price for "what will you pay for this vehicle" and screen capture. Prices are insane.

I took hail damage. State Farm is so backed up I'm still waiting to hear from the adjuster, most of mine to hood/roof/RSI Smart Cap. Two months old.

 

I had 2 cars that got about 4k in hail damage each a few years back. I too took the checks and let the cars be, most of the dents on the rav4 worked their way out, the dents on the kia soul I didnt care about as it was a lease, and the lease paperwork said dents under 1 inch will not be considered damage when I turn it in.... so I turned it in covered with dents and showed them what I signed. They took the car and didnt charge me for them.

But now I cover my truck with moving blankets and a car cover when it storms, but will be ordering one of those inflatable hail car covers soon.

 

The REAL taco seat covers. El cheapo

 

Me gusta!

 

BAM Wholesale Parts for $355 USD. Shipping was another $25. It came with the red lettering, I swapped them with the black ones from Tufskinz, they have colors to match probably any Tacoma paint.

 

The Taco faired much better than the other 2 cars I had outside-
Some of the deepest ones:


The sienna

the mini

 

holy shit.

 

That sucks man, sorry to see that.

 

Fuck that. I'll take wildfires and earthquakes over that anyday......

Sorry about that the damage. That realy sucks

 

Damn that sucks! I hope insurance comes through for you.

 

We had marble sized hail here last week. Couldnt get my truck in the garage, so I ran out throwing moving blankets over the truck, getting pelted in the head by chunks of hail. Can't imagine doing that with the size of hail you got. Damn.
