What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm on my 2nd set. I love these tires too. I don't understand why there's some people who don't like them. My only complaint is the mileage you get out of them is on the low side of the advertised. But it bears mentioning I opt for the lighter ply ones vs the heavier truck rated units. They excel in snow and rain here where I live!

 

I guess I'm in the camp of not liking them that much. My main complaint was that they wore down much faster than advertised. Performance wise, they were fine. Although I like the wet performance of my Trail Terrains a little better.

 

Assembled and installed my Voodoo Modular Max bed rack this weekend. Still need to load and configure and will post more after I’ve had some time with it, but here’s an unloaded pic:



Initial impressions are very good.

 

Now that you have a skid plate that you can access the oil filter without removing, take a look at this oil drain product. I'm looking forward to doing my own oil changes instead of paying someone to do such a simple task.

I'm planning on doing just that when I start doing my own ( don't tell the naysayers ) but I'm going to let my local dealer do the 1st 2 since they're free/paid for in the cost of the truck.[/QUOTE]

 

Installed the nicest side awning I could find. Arb 2.5m with lights and hard case. I REALLY wanted the Alu-Cab 270 awning, but it's too heavy for me to install/remove myself, and it's super expensive.

I don't camp often, but wanted something for additional shelter (I used a ground tent) in case of rain, etc.

Also, Accutune UCA's came in.

 

What did that cost?

 

I LOVE the drawing, looks to scale even. ha. Thanks. I will add this to my summer Taco "to do" list.

 

I actually was a bit bummed at the beginning as the set on the drivers side was showing wear as opposed to the right side. I spoke to a fella at Falken and he said that it looked like normal wear. Not to me though, as the right passenger sides are still intact. All four tires have seen the same action. So it’s a bit bewildering.

However, I have grown to like them a lot in the past couple of weeks.

 

I don’t know who this hometown is, but he mounted the driver’s side in the same direction as the passenger’s side. But I remember the fella at Americas Tire mentioned something about DOT. I mentioned it to the Falken rep, but haven’t heard back. I’m sure he’s had enough, lol.

 

Like $550

 

Not everyone knows this ...

+5 db = 2x as loud. This is why a 45 db dishwasher is "seems to not run" quiet compared to a 55 db dishwasher.

 

The water tank has a hose on either side to get water from out either door - no pumps just manual gravity feed. The hose ends sit upright so they don't leak when in transit. The location is as much a factor of available space as anything else. The rear seat is for the dogs (hence the seat delete) so having the water here as well is convenient. Having the water tank inside the truck keeps the water warmer in cold temperatures. Lastly, I don't like heavy things up high. So I try not to mount heavy water tanks on roof racks, etc. My goal is to keep as much of the bed of the truck free as possible. Hence I jam everything into the rear seat area that will fit. Here is what the bed looks like:

 

those letters are sick! did you order them that way or run a gold marker over them?

 

Took these out to the Calico(Barstow, CA) area yesterday. The front set is great! Really does add quite a bit of plushness and didn't bottom out hard once. The rears do not have enough give, or maybe too much give.... I wasn't hard bottoming out, but the rear was definitely hitting the firm portion of the bump stop more quickly than I would like. This is with maybe an additional 60lbs in the bed. I'm going to email them and see if they can address the rears.

 

TRD color tufskins vinyl trim....wasn't sure if I would like this versus just buying one to match the other gray trim pieces I already have, but I do like how this turned out. Very Good quality vinyl and color.

 

Nothing like some interior decoration,

 

your driveway is either really clean or brand new...

 

You need to hear this, or should I add another 6db..LOL
“6db doubles the sound in the rest of the world, and is the standard for ultrasonic inspection.. “
