What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

how often does he change his oil?

 

At least it didn’t go through your radiator

 

STOP IT! STOP IT! PLEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEE!

 

this might be correct:
pro....red with black accents
OR.....red with chrome accents
all other models......red with no accents

 

Where did you order from? I've ordered 2 from Amazon and both have been bent on the front passenger side.

I have $530 back from my apartment move-out ... full security deposit + a few dollars they thought I deserved for cleaning up so well.

I hear the current batch of 20-year US Savings Bonds has a decent return rate ...

 

It's tough to hold your own rod, steer, and shift all at once

 

That’s a sure sign of old age.

 

Well the most recent thing I did was bring it to the dealership to look at the DCM and figure out why it's failing to connect, and they somehow re-activated Entune and my AndroidAuto is now gone... Goes back in tomorrow.

But I do have about $3k worth of goodies on the way

 

Don't want to turn this into a financial thread,but. Current rate of I bonds (interest bonds) is 5.27%. The interest is adjusted every 6 months. I bonds use a combination of a fixed and adjusted interest rate. EE bond rate (20 year fixed, last 10 adjustable) is 2.70% . I bought $10K (max) I bonds @8.00% so you see how the interest rate can fluctuate. I purchased my bonds mostly as a hedge against the low bank rates but I sort of figured the rate wouldn't stay that high. I like to keep about $50K liquid in case of an emergency.
There are some pretty good online bank interest rates right now. Again, unless you lock it in like a CD, interest rates can change fast.
Disclaimer: go to TreasuryDirect for bond details.

 

This one is from "Lostar" on Ebay.

I got oem Toyota spacers and bolts though

 

Interesting to hear those details. I am sure someone will find it useful enough to act. I think we have too few lessons here in financial prudence and too many lessons here is financial ... er ... well ... not-so-prudent.

Still not sure sure if your wisdom is worth depriving my 3rd Gen of some goodies.

 

On the weekend, I installed the Meso Puddle pod lights (with switch) and although i forgot to replace the tape over a couple holes and broke a couple of clips inside the doors, the important parts are functional.

big thanks to @pc3coyote who provided a great walkthrough document with pictures. I would have definitely felt over my head without it.

For the money you're talking about, I vote for the goodies. If it was $5K+, I'd be investing.
And always remember: when it comes to money, do your due diligence at official websites.

 

What steps/running boards u got? Any pics?

I want a new front bumper but refuse to cut on my new truck. Maybe in a few yrs when it's not so new.

 

Where did you purchase the tail lights?

 

New shoes……

 

Finally got around to taking pictures of my partial seat delete.
It takes less than 5 minutes to put the old seat back in, even though I've never used the seat in almost 2 years.
