What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's not $30 but it's still cheaper than the TRD knob:

 

EFORCAR(R 2PCS Car Mirror Side View Blind Spot & Wide Mirror Stick on Auxiliary Angle Adjustable

Picked up a gently used Softopper from a gentleman on a Facebook group. Got an awesome deal, $250!

 

Installed head bead rail, Rago Fabrication bed rail traction board mounts (these things are rock solid), Extreme Maxtrax mounts and Bracketeer fire extinguisher mount all done. Last mod this year will be left hand dash panel plate to fit the Auxbeam, new double switch with the wiring of course.

Wish list for the year is almost done. CC needs to come up for air

 

Normal bolt on midtravel stuff up front, fully tubed. Chevy leafs in the rear with 16" shocks cut into the bed

 

Did you mean “tubbed”?

 

Got a link for the Chinese knockoff? I’ve been looking for one that is all black. I hate the red.

 

I didn’t really do anything to my Tacoma, but I slid drive it 400 miles from NJ to Outer Banks NC and I averaged 25mpg. Needless to say I was floored.

hell yea, I’ve got the same ones and use them everyday, much better than the BSM sensor

 

ebay has many and from us shippers....red? dont know

 

I have the BSM on my truck but will be adding these. Thanks for the link I was looking for some that would fit good!

 

Nice I make that trip every year. Going in 3 weeks

 

After work I rotated the tires. Much smoother having those perfectly round rears up front now, very noticeable.

 

I have rav 4 mirrors but they are really for blind spots, this would help with seeing backing up into a parking spot i would assume? for 10 bucks i may as well try them

 

So what's the opposite of stealership..... I wanted to give a dealer money because I was creeping up on 25k miles so regardless of Toyota recommendations, etc. I just wanted to get my oil changed, tires rotated, etc. every 5k, and didn't feel like doing it myself. I scheduled an appointment online and specifically said I wanted an oil change.....I get to the dealer and very clearly state I wanted an oil change. I wait an hour for the truck to be done and they say the bill is $16....

I said, what did you do...."well we inspected everything on the checklist right here and rotated the tires". I said but I asked to have the oil changed. "Well, Toyota's recommendation is every 10,000 miles so I put in a window sticker that says 29k for a little early warning".

Guess I'm changing my own oil this weekend which is more time I'll never get back...

 

Finished up my ARB twin compressor install

 

I added one of these so that the bib didn’t fly off into the engine bay:

$9 4 Pcs Full 316 Stainless Steel Lanyard Cable w' Drop Cam & Quick Release Ring Prevents Loss, Plastic Coating Tether Length 12", Free Installation Screws

Yep meant that, but honestly would've been easier to tube the whole front and then slap the fenders and grille back on.

 

Finished mounting the 37s and got them on. Still quite a bit of work to do (will probably have to inboard the rear shocks/notch the rear frame), but other than that just waiting on duals and a couple other things.
