What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Been averaging 24-26 on the tank, it’s the warm weather.

 

Few days ago I got my LF tyre fixed @Discount Tire



Left my baby at home for couple of days and it was flat when I got back!
The plug was leaking…gonna have to take it back…https://youtu.be/uTOeBUQWdFM

 

Threw some Martec Engineering motor mounts in

 

Any tips on installing? I have a set to put in also. Was hoping to do it this weekend but just didn't get to it.

 

I average 20-23 loaded down in the bed and back sat with tools and water, but also speed are around 60 sometimes 70 back roads. On the highways I'm closer to 20 at 75mph.

 

My bed is stuffed, moving.. I keep it between 60-65 and tilt the rear view up so I don’t have to watch toy haulers getting 7 mpg wave at me with 1 finger.

 

Just a quick FYI. My front plate bracket, shown on an SSO bumper owned by @WaitingOnMyR1T , will fit all standard fairlead openings on aftermarket bumpers. Standard hole pattern is 10 inches just like SSO. It is a fixed bracket with no hinges and is height adjustable for different aftermarket bumper configurations. This version will not work with a winch however I am looking into possibly making a hinged version (maybe).
Sorry for somewhat repeating an earlier post. Just had to verify the fairlead standard bolt pattern first and it was confirmed.

 

You can save shipping costs on sliders (a few hundred bucks) when you pick them up. Since you are in Colorado look at RCI in Loveland or RSG in Lakewood. I have RCI without top plates (their design allows you to add them later).

 

Lol...I was almost midpointed between the 2 of them. Eastland was too rough a crowd for me earlier than Westland started getting rough

I like these Midwestern post to offset the numerous SoCal posts

 

One of my 2 daughters got me this hat for Father's Day. She said it's a Taco with the flag.

 

Yeah it’s a truck, not a Supra. I’m strapped with a 16 lb dachshund.. I don’t put Energy into other peoples anger on the road I’ll just drive slower… if they hit me From behind, I’ll apologize for driving too close in front of them.

 

I would like to know this as well. I think the dealer charged 700 for them. Maybe can get 400 or 500 out of them?

 

I’m no pro but I think they need to do a patch and a plug? I got something kinda like that and swapped the tire while the others were still low mileage.

 

Honestly I didn’t realize there were so many Central Ohio guys around haha.

Feel free to share some primitive spots around lol.

 

I wonder if @Discount chk if there’s a leak before they send me away. I only drove it for 2 miles. I’ll also make them spray some soapy water before I go.

 

I thought you also picked up some serious “tyre hazard”.

 

Looks fantastic!!

 

Nice work!!

 

You can, depending on trim level. SR trucks like mine need the upgraded stalk on the left side of the wheel, and I believe you must be pre-wired for it. If you already have OEM fog lights, then you just swap the fogs out and use the adapter harness that was included in the packaging. You may or may not need to run the included relay. I would, just to keep things safe.

 

Interesting note on fuel economy.

While doing some distance driving recently with my wife as co-driver.
With her at the wheel, we noted the low fuel warning, without a filling station for miles (western PA.)
Her response was to SPEED UP. Saying that we would find an open station sooner, hopefully before we ran out of fuel.

I asked her to slow to 55 , but she could not see my reasoning.

I still lover her, but......
