What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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

$100 NOCO GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Jump Starter Battery Pack, Battery Booster, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 6.0L Gasoline 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.

 

This happened today. Oh yeah it’s nice.

 

You said you'd rather get a new battery than a booster. I'm pretty sure I read that clearly. If you have a bad battery in the middle of nowhere getting a new one won't help, a booster may just get you started enough to get out.

There's always a chance to drain a new battery while out in the middle of nowhere and a booster would be perfect for that.

We both agree that you should have a good battery but having a booster is different and an extra piece of kit that can get you back into civilization.

 

I'm confused.

 

I just pilled the trigger on a Stage 4 kit. MUCH excite.

 

Looks great. My son has been asking me to do this since he found out there was a plug in the bed lol

 

I think he is trying to tell you that your license plate frame is upside down.

 

Offroam mag charger is sweet! Very well made. Also organized my glovebox and console. Got tint on the front windows.

 

the license plate frame is mounted upside down

Well I just pass 29,000 miles.
