What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Changed my oil and bitched the entire time about how annoying it is to change oil on these trucks.

 

Make it easier my friend! Get a valvomax or a fumoto. Then buy this:

$75 Motivx Tools Oil Filter Wrench, Drain Tool, and Advanced Engine Oil Funnel Set for Toyota & Lexus 2.0L - 5.7L Engines With Cartridge Style Systems

I know it seems a bit pricy but they are quality tools and make oil changes so much nicer.

 

Off to you tube I go.

 

you're right I probably should do this, but then I wouldn't be able to complain on TW lol

 

installed a gator soft tri-fold bed cover. It was honestly a lot easier than I thought it’d be

 

I plan to put a junction box under the hood too, I really want the OEM plug though that fits right in the fog light bezel.

 

Now I see why. Da fugg.

 

i just ran mine out through the grille. It’s pretty sturdy from all the zip ties which comes in handy when you’re pulling on a cord in the cold. Also, you won’t have to bend down as far to unplug it.

 

True, the older I get the less I can bend.... especially in the winter.

 

Small Toyota fleet

 

Fixed a user error. Meso Total Tails work perfect now!

 

@StricklandJN Looking at the gator myself. Which model? Any shortcomings or regrets? Where did you get it? Anything else to share? TIA

 

I been kissing ass lately.
Wifey doesn’t know about the cat back coming today.

 

I've been getting so many stares and double take looks from other Toyota drivers and pedestrians since installing the TRD catback. It's awesome.

 

Looks like noco makes a nice plug for surface mounting for chargers. Might grab one of these and put it in the wheel well where my current 12v plug is.

Installed my Vent Visors, the bed cover from my 21, same with the gas cap holder...Now trying to figure out where to get the emblem blackout overlays, is Toyota the best? Aftermarket?

 

Aaahhh all 4. The old Fairbanks special!
I’ll never forget the time my dinosaur AMC Eagle froze solid. I was going to UAF and had been under the impression it had a block heater. All was well until the first -20 snap when I found out the plug went nowhere. My great uncle showed up to the parking lot with a propane weed burner and an 8ft section of stove pipe. 30 minutes later I was able to fire it up.
Gotta love that homesteader ingenuity!

 

Wait till I use the remote start at the crack of dawn.

 

Trying to jump 4 and 13 pin in my OBD2 connection and find out nothing is in 13. Anyone run across this in a 2020 OR before?

I have changed the transmission fluid and want to set it to the correct level thanks

 

Installed @tacos4cheap grille letters. So much better than tuffskinz in my opinion.

See comparison photos. I put the tuffskinz letters on the tailgate so I wouldn’t be throwing away $$
