What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

There’s better OEM parts prices out there if you can’t find any used ones (pick ‘n pull, etc), like:

Sometimes your local dealer will price match online prices, though they may add the shipping cost that you’d pay, too.

 

Took it to an Elk Preserve at the edge of the Continent. The road in passes as pre-runner off roading.

 

For some reason this is all I could think about…

 

junkyard or ebay

 

the chin strap has to go

 

i found on fb for 40 dollars

 

I used to love going to the junkyard. My first-ish set of cars were 80’s VW. Always in need of some parts, always looking to snag another door handle. We would always grab all the relays, emblems, I bought a lot of wheels too.

 

Yeah, but it’s missing the valve stem cap…...

 

What kind of snorkel is that?

 

Looks really good. What did you use for the wheels? Are they painted or overlays on them?

i got a new set ordered

 

kuafu. Definitely got what I paid for. Oh well, it’ll work for my needs

 

...just when I think I'm done buying things for my truck, Rix Tux Dux walks into my life.

 

You got the pink ones with lips on the end huh?

Edit. Lol. exactly

 

I look away for a few minutes and somehow I’m taken to the Jeep blog - WTH?

 

Thanks! They’re overlays

What bumper is that?

 

I went the opposite way, 2021 Tacoma to a 2020 Tundra and they’re the same tech outside of crawl control.

I know others have different experiences, but I find gas mileage to be matched with how I drive each. The Tacoma you have to stay in the gas to keep it going, the Tundra has enough power to putter everywhere just fine.

The Tacoma has better storage though, with the standard underseat storage, the behind the rear seat cubbies and the bed box.

So far, I’m happy with the trade offs. Both are good depending on your needs obviously.
