What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Well, that's some bullshit. I'd be pissed, too. Like others have said, hopefully they make it right.

 

If you take out 1 bolt at a time, add anti-seize, reinstall, then do another...you don't have to completely remove ?

 

You could do that on the two rear-most bolts since they drop out, but you'll need to drop it to get the forward bolts out since they have sleeves to keep them in place. At least that's how ours is set up. You can see the four that have retainer sleeves in my earlier post and in the photo below.

 

Neat mod. Really subtle and unique

 

who did the wrap? where'd you get the material? im really tempted to copy you but with a bit more bronze to match my wheels. that wrap idea is sooooooo good

 

It’s Friday, this is Tacoma world. We don’t need this logic. Opinions only.

 

Yup, that is actually the plan. And since I have the RCI skid the only spacers are in the back. It will probably take as long to gather/put away the tools and drag myself under the truck as it will to actually remove/replace each bolt.

 

Red button go boom!

 

Washed up and added a Taco Air Freshener (Mango Scent) lol

 

ok........IMO I don't like your post

 

It took me paddle boarding today

 

Sooooo…. I am prepping the boat, wife doesn’t want to get bit by bugs so she is putting on bug repellent. IN THE TRUCK. Granted she had the door open By the time we make it to launch the crap literally ate coatings off the door panel. Absolute madness. Any ideas??

 

Find the part number and replace that piece? I’m not as good at digging up schematics as other people around here but from this, it looks like that grey piece is part of the whole interior door panel… Oof I hope I’m wrong. might be able to pull one at a junk yard?

 

Installed a dual post 24f AGM battery from Costco ($194 for those interested). I had to flip it around as the posts were on the opposite side but the stock cables were plenty long. Also installed a auxiliary fuse bracket to clean thing up.

 

Now you get that your post sucks…. Pshht one at a time, you need the jack. It’s more shit us to buy and link. like this.

If you aren’t using a $600 jack to hold up your aluminum 30# skid plate then you’re a dumbass, waste of skin for a human being.

Ps. Nothing personal.

 

My experience with big rounds is ... They are heavy. Even at 18 inch length, rounds over 24 inches in diameter get picked up with the tractor loader bucket using log tongs.

The pick=a=roon is used on the bolts after the first pass through the four way on the splitter.
So, use the tool on the manageable pieces. There are videos of the tool use on the inter web. only six or seven minutes long. Worth a search! Stay warm!

 

Damn, sorry that happened. I learned my lesson with that shit many years back on a hiking trip with the wife ....
We were standing on some grass in front of our tent and decided to put on some bug spray. I had sunglasses on, and we had our brand new grill unopened a bit aways. We put the spray on, and the wind drifted and got some on the grill ans a tiny bit on my Oakleys.
It immediately ate the polarized coating of of my sunglasses, and ate through the high temp paint in the grill.
After being astonished at how potent the spray was, we looked down where we were standing, and saw 4 green footprints in a big patch of dead tan grass we just killed.
Deep woods Off and the like with high levels of Deet And eucalyptus is super caustic to certain things.

 

That shit ate the top of my kitchen trash receptacle after my daughter sprayed it in the house before going outside. Toxic shit.
