What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@Discount Tire

So I've had them (Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires) for a month. Put maybe 500 miles on them. I've used them in the rain. Too early for snow.

I love them. They are quieter than my previous tires, and they don't screech at all when making turns at a reasonable speed. I did have to drive up-hill off road to remove a fallen limb from an apple tree on my property. These tires have much better traction when compared to my old ones.

Well worth the price...

 

It is converted by magic fairy dust into fumes that live in the tailpipe. You should spend several hours a day looking into that tailpipe to see the fumes.

I’ve always sort of liked that style steel wheels. Had them on my 1st Gen . Nice color combo, red/silver.

 

They are growing on me

 

Waxed the cab and cleaned the wheels and tires.

 

Installing a couple goofy switches for various lights in the morning

 

I like the look......kinda reminds me of Toyotas new fold down/flat bed pick-up for the Asian/Aussie/Euro markets.

 

How did you mount or attach your tool box.

 

I ordered some Deezee clips on Amazon that I thought were supposed to work with the tacoma rail system. Either I ordered the wrong type or they're not what I expected. They worked but I'm not convinced it's a solid hold. Box doesn't move but if you grab the clips and twist and tug a little, it seems they will pop out.

 

Thanks for that.

 

No problem

 

RCI is now 1,080 for the same rock sliders on my Tacoma. Ugh.

 

It looks like sliders are only 10% off right now; I think I got 20% a year ago. Who knows if they will repeat the sale or not; get on their mailing list as they do change things up throughout the year. Also I didn't get the top plate as I guessed it would hold more snow/ice during the winter. Sliders hold enough ice anyway.
Shipping is high on these things too. In fact if I picked them up at a R4T store 35 miles from the fab I'd have to pay shipping too. So I drove a little further myself.

 

Yeah. I have a feeling like they are doing 10% off now and they will do %20 off before the end of the year. Maybe not. Who knows!! I just hate to overpay and then a month from now they go down in price. Also, I live in KC and I guess they are having FedEx delivering the sliders. They are only charging 60.00 for that. Not bad at all.

 

Got waaaaay too good of a deal on a Roam case, ha. So much room for activities!

 

Tacoma education update:


If you can Cheez-Whiz two crackers together, you can already Weld.

 

$60 is crazy good; it's often well over $200 to ship big, long, heavy metal.

 

Finally bought the Rigid SAE 30” Driving Light Bar. Will share illuminated photos later after I get it wired how I want it. Overall really like how stealthy it looks - almost don’t realize it’s there until you pay more attention! Love Rigid products.

 

Can you cut that in half so we can verify the penetration?
