What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looking like Scotty Kilmer over here.
Rev up your engines!

 

You are not living until you time your arrival at the gas station for 31 miles after the light comes on. Are you not brave enough, sir?

 

May you SHOULD "say no to drugs" after all ...

 

Funny, The wife and I have cross country camped in our Taco twice now, (good times!) and the only "OMG! we are low on fuel and not a station in sight" has happened in Pennsylvania, of all places. That north central region is not heavily settled. Moose, Elk, and WOLVES live there ;-)

With that, We get just about 22MPG with the 6MT ACC. But my wife tends to drive Faster when the fuel needle shows empty. She wants to get to the gas station sooner, before the rig runs out! ;-)

 

Hah!
Ya’ll are braver than I…These days I start to freak out when I’m at quarter tank
Learned my lesson as a kid, having to walk two miles to the closest gas station with a plastic jug was no fun.

 

Looks very nice. Did you notice much sag in the front with the bumper and winch?

i didn’t measure but nothing noticeable. Maybe a slight different feel over bumps but that could be in my head. Not too worried as I’ll be changing out the suspension sometime this year anyway.

 

What has your experience been with MPGs and the roof rack when theres nothing on it? I've been debating if I want one, but I remember when I got one for my SUV it was a good 5mpg hit on the highway, 8mpg if you loaded anything on it.

 

Here's what I did...um...not today...but this week. I changed colors! And gens. My driveway used to look like this...



Now it looks like this...



Full stock for now.

It's my first 3rd Gen after owning a 2010 2nd Gen and a 2014 2nd Gen.

This truck is way too shiny. It has yet to meet Plasti-Dip!

 

Was over the course of the last couple weeks because they shipped one at a time....
Got myself some landing gear.
RCI - Engine, Transmission and Transfer Case skids plus cat guards.

 

Even with nothing on it, you'll know it's there. I'm seeing about a 1 mpg hit into the wind (a bit less in crosswinds), with the wind it's fine.

One other thing I've noticed with the rack is it seems to be interfering with radio reception. Not a terrible interference, but I lose reception easier than before the rack was installed.

 

That last little kicker just where the prop shaft begins looks like a real show stopper.
A smooth bottom like that would be a boon here in snow and MUD country!
I've been high centered in both many times less that two miles from home. It's not purrddy ;-)

 

Are you referring to the stock exhaust?

Didn't feel like rerouting and for my purposes it "should" do just fine.

 

Bro, I adore you, but that dash mat is killing me.

 

I had my new wheels and tires installed this morning. I went with the 2020 style TRD Pro wheels and 265/70r16 Toyo Open Country AT IIIs. I’m very happy with the new look! I can confirm that the design for the center caps sucks and there's a good reason that they're on perpetual backorder.
