What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Had the oil & filter changed and tire rotation done today. I'm a 5k mi or less oil changer. I've done two in the last 4 months, 6k mi on the ODO now. 1st oil change at 1k mi and now at 6k mi. So the dealership told me today I used up all my free oil changes and have one tire rotation left. Since they use synthetic oil, they are using the Toyota suggested interval of 10k mi. So my 2yr/25k mi free maintenance is now all gone at 4mths/6k mi. Hahahaha!

 

Sweet, thanks mate!

 

Fumoto oil change valve. Motivx oil filter removal tool. Do it yourself without worrying about who might have left a plug open ot forgotten a O-ring on the filter housing.

Great idea. Thinks for the info.

 

Looks good! Need to get some holes in there for some added tie downs..........I found the extra ones really can come in handy.

 

What's the price on one of these? I was looking at the Soft Topper for the summer to have my dogs in the back, but would love something more permanent. 3-4k?

 

sexy

 

i just paid 4k for an ARE MX in california. my others were a tad cheaper on my other two trucks. gives you a feel for the price there.

 

Ditto!!

 

I was never a cap/topper fan until i got one and now i can never go back it was $3600+ tax its a ARE Z series has power lock, string lights that go on and off when you open and close the window, carpet, roof tracks, flip down sliding front window its one of their more pricier caps. I liked the look of this one this best how the back window is integrated and i really wanted a power lock. This is my old cap which i also liked i will miss the windoors which were not available on the Z series. Since yours is white you will find a ton of caps used on FB, i see white ARE caps from pest control tacomas all the time 1000-1500 they are just usually basic no carpet and often a side tool box which you can remove like the one in the link below search around you can find some deals especially on white caps

 

I just finally ordered my ARE MX with full carpeted headliner, front slider/fold down window, standard side windows with slider/screen, double rear door handles, roof rails. It came to $4022.00 with installation. The price also included a full bedrug as well. Pricey! My last MX was half that price about five or so years ago. Yikes! It will give us a nice hard shell camper though, and along with my BamBed boards and slider, should be good to go.

 

Oil change and tire rotation.

 

Great looking, simple truck! I like it! Well done!

 

I have bam boards as well love em I keep 2x4 on each side when I’m not using it for a sleeping platform it gives me extra room to store stuff as I stained mine black so it acts as a “false floor” for unsuspecting eyes

 

Tonneau cover time. If for no other reason, sweeping the bed out is annoying

 

Both reds go to any 15a circuit on the auxbeam, both blue wires for backlights go to any 5a circuit on the auxbeam, black ground wires go to inner upper fender bolt or any ground location outside the auxbeam using a ring terminal. You'll have separate switches for backlights and full ditch lights this way.

 

ya i wanted my backlights to come on the same time my fog lights that are backlight are lite. that's what i have wired now is what your reffering to
