What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

But it is a DRY heat ...

 

I like this post because...... RUST NEVER SLEEPS! ;-)

 

Installed the Rough Country seat covers in my electric seat Taco.

Rear seats ... the only odd thing is a slot in the bottom covers that seems unconnected with any bar or latch. A little pull/tup to get the side hooks to connect. Work the driver side of the 60% from the driver side.

Front seats ... took out seat bolts to work under the seat bottom to pull straps tight and visually place the hooks which must attach to a seat-frame part. Electric/driver side had fewer connect points because of fewer frame elements. Driver side just put the cover partially hiding the electric seat controls because I operate them by feel anyway. May will fix that later when AZ is not 115 degrees ...

Time will tell now, but seems full waterproof coverage.

 

Mine definitely made it louder, inside the cab at least. I’m not sure if it was louder because the tip made the pipe extended further out, or if the sound waves bounced around inside the tip. I have an upgraded muffler so it’s louder to begin with, stock it probably won’t make much of a difference

 

does the other side of the tires have flat lettering?

 

It's just cosmetic, won't change sound. If you want to change sound you need to change muffler and/or cats.

 

Swapped out my lights on Sunday, Baja designs Amber FTW. Did new wheels and tires yesterday. Glad to be back on silver/gunmetal wheels. These SCS wheels give an old school vibe with a modern twist.

 

Carven Exhaust installed this morning.

 

Yes flat on one side. Raised on other. When I said I wanted raised lettering out at tire place the guy at desk said "there not white letter's" I said I know. Raised letters out again. Then it dawned on him. I am way more pleased with the tires then I thought I was going to be. I had the AT3w's on my 2020 & these are far better IMO. I lost no mpg to speak of & they are good in the rain so far. They balanced well too. Price wise not bad imo @ 1034.00

 

Were you able to get the seat cover to go inside the plastic trim on the front seats? I watched the RC install video where they tuck it in for a seamless look, but there was no way I could get mine to do that. I just pulled the cover down as far as it would go over all of it.

 

Pulled it over the outside. Finding someplace to hook onto became a pain in the butt, and taking primary seat bolts out so I can work under the seat ... just too damned hot to keep fighting.

 

Thank you for your business, we greatly appreciate your support. The Taco looks fantastic!

 

Hit 100k miles on my 2019. Changed the fluids for the engine, transmission, transfer case, and both differentials. Easy peasy, and only a couple hours of my time.

 

Did you used a kit?

 

Looks great!

 

Finally got the rear zerk on the front drive shaft to take grease!
I used a needle tip

Beautiful rig! Love those wheels

 

The yellowing of my 23 black Taco. I know this wouldn't be everyone's preference, and I'm not sure how long I'll keep the yellow, but it's different. And I like different. I used every bit of the 11 oz can of Plasti-Dip for the dash molding and the letters. That shit's expensive here in The North! 34 bucks a can w/tax on Amazon! Not sure how many coats I sprayed on each piece, I stopped counting after 8.

So what do you think? Do you like it? Was it worth the $34?

Now the question is: What should I do on the grill? I thought about yellowing the TOYOTA. And then I thought maybe the crossbar and the centerpiece around the TOYOTA. But that just might be too much freakin yellow? I'm leaning toward nothing yellow up front.

Any comments are appreciated.

 

I drive it everyday so here’s a new one for me. A robin has made a nest on my UCA.
