What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nope. Been doing this for years. No issues

Was trying to pull a 6 gauge wire through the passenger side grommet. Got it through but had a really though time and the nipple flipped inward towards the cab. Should be fine right?

 

I would probably put my eye out if I tried that.

2019 Taco OEM battery...winter here up north and I feel like starting up is sluggish.
Is it time to look at getting a new battery?

 

Installed the Old Man Emu FK-29 D Shaft Spacer to improve ride quality. So far so good!

 

Yes. I have replaced 2x already. 1st one was warranty before 60000 klms. 2nd one was a Motomaster Eliminator which is larger than the OEM.

 

Greased my Icon UCAs. They were squeaking! Need to do it more often apparently.

 

As long as the grommet seal is still in place, it should be totally fine

 

That’s not a good thing to see. I did get that notice, hopefully I won’t have to use it.

 

JBA told me every 3k miles. They would send nice lil email reminders.

 

If it were me I'd just go to Costco and get a new one. Worth the peace of mind and possible hassles "down the road" ha ha. Especially if it is original in a 2019.

 

Get a NOCO battery boost. I have the

$92 NOCO GB40 : 1000A UltraSafe Jump Starter – 12V Lithium Battery Booster Pack, Portable Jump Box, Power Bank & Jumper Cables - for 6.0L Gas and 3.0L Diesel Engines

NOCO GB40 which seems fine for a V6 Gas Tacoma. Bigger models available for diesel V8s if you have those.

 

I wouldn't spend money on a booster when for a little more you can just get a fresh battery with a new warranty.

 

Battery booster is for emergencies in the field when for some reason the battery lost its charge ... 2 AM, Sunday morning, at a stop point 20 miles from civilization ...

But if you want to reply on "the battery is new ... it MUST be perfect", feel free.

 

I know what a booster is for. It doesn't help the immediate situation if battery is bad.

 

It does help the immediate situation if you need a jump, are solo in the middle of nowhere.

 

You missed the point or didn't read correctly.
A "jump" no matter where you are will not help or revive a battery that is gone/dead/bad.
My suggestion was merely for the OP to get a new battery if his current one is no good. Yes a charger may be of use at some place down the road.
