What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yes they do, I moved around and they don't slide hardly at all. The photo I took was before I completely strapped it down which may explain why it looks loose.

 

Security reasons I'm not going to say where we work or what she does. Sorry. She a pretty cool girl though.

 

You will soon find out that OTT is worth every single penny. Plus, if you amortize it over the years that you'll own your Taco... über cheap investment for über improved performance.

FWIW, our tune is Light/Mild. Too much rain here to risk much more. Drives exactly like I'd expect it to from the factory. Smooth, crisp and quick with almost zero gear hunting. Punch the ECT button and it rabbits!

 

Can you say if she is ever on TW?

 

HI CHLOE!!

 

HI CHLOE!

So ... why am I saying "hi" to Chloe? I guess I could just to be nice.

 

Im not sure if shes on here or not i'll ask tomorrow. I dont think she is.

 

Yea the rain can be a pain but that doesn’t bother me except the icy roads in winter traffic can get sketch with too aggressive a tune.
That was my sole reason for turning mine down. My first winter with my truck coming up and I don’t need it too jumpy when I’m learning the 4HI with it.

 

~$400 to get it done by a tuner

 

I think she mentioned electrical engineering as her background in a video or two. Probably a gubment job.

 

I’ve turned down my tune, as well. The quicker ones are fun, but being that touchy in the rain and snow and in parking lots at that time can be a mistake. No need for a touchy pedal in those situations.

 

Straight from her bio on YouTube: "Software Engineer full-time"

 

You do understand this has only a tangential connection with "What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?".

But then when has non-relevance ever stopped us?

 

After reading about the issues with the top bolt on the Total Chaos bed stiffeners I got some grade 9 bolts with a fender washer and replaced the Toyota top bolt with them. Installed the stiffeners and all went well except for the T55 bed bolt. Blew up a bit trying to get them loose. Had to go to three different auto stores to find one. Not sure how they are so popular. WD40ed the bolts while I left and returned to success with the new bit.

Thanks for all the experiences expressed, it sure helped me!

 

Welcome to TW! You’re definitely in good hands here!

 

Got the 3 link rear end totally cleaned up and painted, now to re assemble tomorrow and hopefully drive it for the first time

 

Thanks for the tips, no worries about taking time to respond, I'm not ready to install the mod just yet, so much appreciated.

 

Was playing under the hood and noticed the power steering level. I take it to the dealer aren't they supposed to top up the fluids? Is this too low do I need to add? Hot checked.

 

Well just make sure you mention to her if she's on or not that she has many fans here and we have seen her videos and they're very helpful. I am certain she will appreciate the validation.. keep up the good work. (Tell her)

 

Speaking of all the tuning talk, I got one of these and plugged it in. I liken it to putting your foot on the gas wearing a flip flop and then a heavy construction boot.
Pedal Commander clone for half the price, I figured the chip would be the same and I don't need the Bluetooth.
