What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

glad it worked man! Full credit to @Skydvrr he gave me the tip and internet courage to do mine!

 

Don't think so. Only the driver's side has them and both mirrors are heated.

 

A new lift installed and the Tacoma got a new brother

 

They are just aligning tabs. Here is where they sit into. Not sure why only your drivers side has them?

I drove to a trailhead that is accessible only by "beyond primitive" roads ... not exactly rock crawling but a Civic would find it "challenging".

Finally have scratches on my RCI skids. My mommy says I can move from diapers to Tacoma-themed pull-ups now!

And added some "pinstripes". One of the roads was far too tight and crowded with bushes. Got off of it as quickly as possible and returned to wider-open roads. Also the window tint took a scratch ... damn.

 

lmao; your post reminds me of the Stuart skits from Madtv.

Nice! I’ve been telling this to myself all this time. The tailgate power lock is the best money I’ve spent on my Taco above from replacing my suspension and installing bigger tires and several lights and accessories, etc etc. Big thanks to YouTube as well. I didn’t have to hire someone to have it installed.

 

Sounds like fun! I like those types of situations. Makes it fun.

 

It was interesting to see how easily the OR suspension and tires just rolled over hills/dips in this road, which was mostly sand and dirt with few rocks.

Found the trailhead which is 40 minutes (6 miles) from the road, that road exit being 12 miles from the nearest commercial area, and that commercial area is 30 minutes from home.

Still ... if I want a hike where I am all-but-guaranteed to be alone ...

 

Sounds like good fun!

But wait... what? You have window tint on the outside of your windows? Is that a thing?

 

This is "used". When my Corolla balked at running (probably just a tensioner for the accessory belt) I purchased what was available from the dealer I preferred to work with.

As to the window tint ... it was there. I know who I would go to if I wanted to change it up.

 

This tool for plugs is a game changer. Highly recommend

Thanks. Delivery tomorrow.

 

Whiteline poly bushings install complete, @ 49300 miles. Rig hasn't driven and felt this good, ever. I haven't even got it aligned yet! The closest its felt to this good, is when I had it aligned at S&K in Clearwater after installation of my new OME lift kit with the Nitto Grapplers. No more wobbling from center line to edgeline of road, no more wandering continually adjusting steering wheel to stay centered-it is now point-and-go, or turn-and-go you get the point. Boy the dealer (A brandon, FL dealer) really screwed me over when they bashed into their lift arm, I posted on this issue way back, as reparations they put the truck on the alignment tool and said it was still within specs [even though it pulled while driving and the steering wheel was turned about 15degrees from center after that visit]. I cut my losses. AnyHoo, here's some pics taken during the process for those that want to know. 99.9% of my driving is on paved roads, so I'm VERY happy with the feel and the performance these bushings provide. I'm happy to help any neighbor wanting to perform the same on their truck.

 

New tail lights....I like them! Way brighter than stage 1 even. Took less than 10 min to replace and looks sharp w the tint. Form lighting I think they're called.

 

Tufskinz rocker covers turned out great. Tape and magnets really helped with the installation.

 

Been on the look out for either these or the newer pro tail lights. Barcelona red needs either these or the pro tail lights, the chrome ones are too flashy for me. Next on my list... Appreciate the photos showing the whole truck rather than just the lights up close, looks good!
