What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed flat stix black vinyl cutouts on truck matches nicely and was about a half hour process per wheel

 

Maybe a dumb question, but you're not worried about that being so close to your spare tire?

 

Man, looks good but I would be a little concerned. Probably install a heat shield or wrap the exhaust there. Quick Google search and it looks like it can melt tires.

 

I’m assuming you’ve made modifications to your Tacoma. Why? If you didn’t like it the way you bought it, why did you buy it in the first place? If you have a dog, why teach it any manners? If you have a 250 year old government why would you make changes as culture and society changes? Not everything is black and white. Comparing progressive social reforms to turning a dog into a parrot is a flawed analogy, IMO. But everyone is free to have their own ideas about government and society. Isn’t that why the US separated from GB in the first place?

Also, that bluegrass festival looks like a good time!

 

Nothing picture worthy but I rotated my tires, change the oil and oil filter, change the front and rear differential fluid and transfer case fluid.

Edit. Forgot to mention I installed my Fumoto valve that I got for Christmas.

 

Wish there was a double like button. Although, not the right forum for all this political banter going on. But you rock, my friend.

 

I will disagree with your rebuttal here. Even though you may have tweaked a few things on your Tacoma, it still remains a Tacoma. It has the same drive train, power plant, frame, etc. The things you change on it doesn't create a Dodge Power Wagon, it merely gives it a styling that you like. But it is still a Tacoma through and through
We have different viewpoints, and may approach problems in a different way, but if you ( not you personally) decide that the Constitution is no longer valid, and try to change the country into something other that what it is, then why wouldn't you just live somewhere that is already like what you want?

 

Yes the bluegrass and the bbq was awesome.
I think I answered the other part of your post on another answer to someine else.
Just like when we "modify" our trucks, they still remain a Tacoma. The things we do to them so not change the essence of what it is. Same thing with amendments to the constitution. It may make a change, but the constitution is still whole and essentially the same document and cornerstone of our country and culture. It doesn't become the Magna Carta, not are we made Soviets.
Point is, you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. Making something better is one thing, replacing it completely is another.

Edit: also, when we modify out trucks we use products that are made for it, fit right and work in unison with it. When we add something that doesn't fit or isn't made for it, we can end up damaging and weakening the integrity and operation.

Anyway, enough said about this. Back to Tacoma's

 

I almost put r134a into a r1234yf system as I didn't do my HW and thought "well what's good for the '12 is good for the '16".

 

*Last political point here. I think a lot of people think some of us progressives want to “throw out the constitution”, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. We just want a government that works for the people, not just a few wealthy donors. Anyway, thanks for the civil debate, @banjoGrampa!

 

Where did you get that? And how much was it, if you don't mind? Mine came with the chrome and it needs to go.

 

Added some small useful stuff like the console tray and glove box organizer, and fun stuff like the plastic letters for the glove box and some cal-tech neoprene seat covers. Waiting impatiently for my snugtop rebel topper that I ordered 6 weeks ago.

I had the front windows tinted to match the rear and it is amazing the temperature difference in the cab!

Also removed the TRD offroad stickers because I think they are terrible. Does anyone make cool decals for the side of the bed?

 

Just the Sunday wash. Sun came out so I skipped the ceramic coating. Was hoping it would stay overcast. Idk why flies like to sit on my truck.

 

I have a white RAV4 and it attracts flies like no other car I've ever had. Must be the color.

 

I thought it was something in the ceramic or soap but if it’s the white color I guess I’m fucked. Just have to deal with it? There’s like 4 in that picture lol

 

It's the color. https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlik...why_does_it_seem_that_flies_are_attracted_to/

 

It's so everyone can see that they crapped on your freshly washed truck.

 

Better than bee poop. That shit will fuck your paint up if you don’t wash it off.

 

This happens with my Cement truck too…not hundreds of flies but more than you would expect.

 

Just like mine. It’s the the color. It’s like a fresh clean super white ceramic toilet bowl. LOL. Stay away from the homeless camps after washing your truck. NICE TRUCK by the way!

Anywho...last Wednesday I picked this up...

Friday got it fixed. Now it looks like a bug splatter...
Glad I didn’t have to replace it yet, even though I have zero deductible.
