What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yah... just got to hit the priority for my time I guess! If I go through the effort to remove them I doubt I will install new ones. I would look at them all the time and somehow believe they were crooked!

 

$28 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner, 08987, Removes Adhesive Residue, Gentle On Paint/Vinyl/Fabric, 15 fl oz

3M Adhesive Remover. Easy peasy, one and done. Apply a couple of coats of wax afterward or the new stickers and then wax. More here:

It also works great for removing tar, sap and a lot of other gunk without doing any harm to the clear coat. Body shop recommended it years ago and it's been in my chemical supply ever since.

 

Only thing I did was drive it.......to the lake for some fishing.

 

I used googone on my wife's hyundai to remove tree sap and it removed the sap but it f'd up the clear coat

 

Nice lake! I love me a body of water!

 

I got that tank of fuel I've been savings up for. Whew, I can't keep up this pace of spending on the truck. At this rate, I'll have to dip into retirement. I think tinting the front windows is next on the list.

 

Gave her a bath and put oem black mirror caps on!

 

Washed and applied Adams Graphine Ceramic coat. Added front Husky Liners.

 

Looks excellent. What sliders are those?

 

Total Chaos Bed stiffeners and Husky Liners for the front and back installed this morning. I really want to detail/wash it, but it's 114 today.

 

Too hot

 

I’m in agreement. But want a link for the plastic razor blade.

 

Fuck…. I’m about to put on a sweatshirt.

I didn’t like the red accents either. It was really easy to remove the original. Let it sit in the Texas summer sun for a couple of hours and used a plastic razor blade to get it started. It peeled off easily and cleaned it up with an adhesive remover. Being somewhat of a perfectionist it was more nerve racking putting the new one on. I got mine from ZixxerGraphix on Etsy. It’s been on the truck for a year and still looks great.

 

Found some really nice mellow trails today about 45 minutes from my house then got lost up there for a little while lol. But I was chillin since I knew this Tacoma would get me home and she did. What a capable off-road truck out of the box. It did so well love this truck man !

 

I've been trying to schedule brake service for a week now with small shops, NOBODY returns phone calls or schedule requests with quotes. So I'm like OK fuck it, off to the dealer I go for front brake resurface/pads. $200 is not bad I guess for dealer service, about what I expected. Even more amazing, is getting 88,000 miles out of my front brakes.

 

Looks like he removed the badges, I was curious what that would look like. Guessing that since he's in Canada, it's 4WD. I tried to order a 2WD from Wisconsin dealers and nobody wanted to touch my business. I'm guessing northern states just don't get them on the lots because nobody typically wants 2WD up there. I'd imagine Canada is the same if not even more 4WD heavy.

 

I was sitting in my campsite at Winnipeg Beach with nothing but time and great weather and before you knew it I had those TRD 4x4 stickers off. Cleaner look I think. Hey, it’s done, no going back.

 

Thank you! And they’re the Cali raised 25 degree trail sliders with the kick out.
