What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'd like to know as well.although I have a 4cyl,so the technique might be different

 

It's hard to argue with this EVIDENCE!

 

Ordered Toyota OEM rubber wiper insert to replace my blades, I got 50k miles on them. Just ordered my 3rd insert, got the wrong one first time for drivers side, and noticed if ordered for pickup at dealer I pay no shipping, and there appears to be a current promotion for 20% off, does that apply to all parts? I don't know but thought I would pass this info along.

Cheers.

I notice the 3 different PNs for the refill, which 2 did you order? I’m assuming it’s the 85214A and B. As an aircraft mechanic I’m usually good at looking at parts break downs like this but the parts listed below have the numbers after the dash that make it a little confusing for me as they aren’t listed in the illustration.

 

First 2 in your image are incorrect, last one is the Drivers side refill. If there is an E in the PN, you got the right ones for a pair.

Too bad they don't show you an actual image of the item you are ordering, just an artists rendition.

Replaced Passenger side wiper blade refill.

 

How do the radflos ride? I’ve had about everything but them. Curious on your review. Thanks

 

It’s never done Now take it out and get it dirty!

 

driving in this heat is never fun hope you made it safe!

 

Got my windshield tinted 40% with ceramic tint. Now I won’t have to use my sunshade as much. Mainly got it for the heat deflection property. I could tell on the drive home it was already cooler in the cabin.

 

That's a good looking truck! Love the Softopper

 

Nice! Curious if you've driven it at night. Wondering how much it affects things. Thinking about matching the front side window tint with the rear (30%?) in ours but hadn't considered the windshield.

TIA!

 

just got it done so haven’t driven at night with it yet. I’ll report back after I have. But I’m assuming it won’t be too much of a difference. 40% is pretty light.

 

Reminds me of a story I heard when I was visiting the Palace at Versailles. The head gardener was asked by a tourist what the secret was to keeping the gardens so beautiful. He whispered to them: "Water the plants daily for 350 years."

(Side note: that story reminds me of how old I'm getting. The palace is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year.)

I just hit the engine compartment with a spray nozzle on the end of a garden hose whenever she gets back from the dusty off-road trails, or after spring/fall trips through snowy mountain passes. I use the portable leaf blower (Milwaukee 18V) to dry it before closing the hood
In the winter, on milder days I sometimes use the "rinse" water at an indoor carwash (they are heated and enclosed in BC and Alberta, and the water is heated in the winter) but then I make sure we have a 1/2-hour or so drive afterwards to ensure water doesn't freeze inside the engine compartment.
The black plastic bits get an occasional wipe down with some Armor-All cleaning cloths.

I find cleaning trucks relaxing, so I don't mind staying on top of the dirt...that way you never have to do a major cleanup. Neighbours probably think I'm OCD, but that's not necessarily a negative quality in an engineer.

 

Thanks for sharing. I plan on spraying mine down soon

 

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Or have a number and say drivers side. Thanks for the response and help!

 

400 miles on it & decided to get it dusty Steeper than it looks. Wife got out! LOL

 

Thanks! The Softopper is of my favorite additions!

 

Leaving tomorrow for couple weeks!!

 

Good luck! What do you use the flooring in the bed for?
