What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What is here is everywhere.

What is not here, is nowhere.

;-)

 

Agreed.

 

Unfortunately that's the posture of America at the moment. It seems like everything you do costs top dollar and what you receive in return is low quality.

Sorry to hear this.. I knew when my truck got hit last year after taking it to 4 places there was only ONE guy who was going to do it 100 % right.... his price was also double.

I decided to fix it at home. Luckily I didn't need any body work .. just some parts and time .. my tailgate still isn't perfect, but hey.... that's life. My experience is no matter what...once you get clipped it's just never the same.

 

I'm looking for a headache rack with louvers that I can mount with a toolbox. Saw one in Western North Carolina in the spring at Tapoco Lodge Robbinsville, NC. that was killer, but he left before I could ask him about it. I've looked everywhere on the web and can't find it. I need one.

 

Interesting looking game. One of the designers must like IH Scouts.

 

Back up in the Santa Fe National Forest today with our new 3rd Gen Tacoma with the Alu-Cab Contour Canopy.

 

Those are really cool! Takes me back to the days of learning to drive in my dad's '78 Chevrolet C10. Good memories.

 

In British Columbia we have to have winter tires from October 1 until April 30, except for some low-elevation areas like Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.
BUT, a tire with a “M+S” or 3PMS symbol counts. So one option is to ensure you have at least the M+S rating on the “summer” tires, and then switch to real winters (Nokian, et al) when appropriate for you.
We’ll be hitting mountain passes around Halloween, so the Nokies will be on before that.

 

but i was raised in the gutter

 

In August, fell into a rock ditch that I didn't see at Holy Oaks off-road park and took some damage.

All-Pro Baja bumper delivered with no packaging (same way as tires and leaf packs):



Rattlecanned with 1 coat of Tremclad rust primer and 4 coats of Tremclad semigloss rust paint:



Removed the bent fender and transfered the flare to the replacement fender, P/N TO1240262 pre-painted by Partify. It's the best-looking panel on the truck now with no pinstriping



Everything installed along with a full-size grille TO1200407 in time for the trail ride this month:

 

I've got a Backrack headache rack on mine with lights on it. I know they offer different style racks that are compatible with tonneau covers, with specific mounting brackets.

Electrical wise; I ran a harness from my battery, over the engine along the back firewall, down through the passenger side frame rail, and up between the bed and the cab. Very easy access to install wiring.

 

home depot.

 

I like the retro look. Do you have any pictures of the side of the drivers seat and could you share the link for these? Thanks

 

brake pads didn’t have to much life left after 61k miles

 

Are those Toyota OEM brake pads??

 

Yes

 

Well the worn ones are oem the new ones are carquest frontline

 

Lettuce know if they squeak. I've heard that the OEM won't squeak.

 

Was curious about the large chamfer on the ends of the pads, seems like you're losing a lot of surface area, it's an interesting design.

 

They’re pretty quiet. Put 100 miles on them so far, going on a 1k mile round trip road trip right now
