What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks!

 

How hard was install ?

 

Morimoto ditch lights installed .
ran out of time Will shrink wrap next week .

 

Finally changed the original OEM battery to one from Costco after 5 years 108k miles. It was still running but I felt like better to do it now than wait any longer

 

Looks good! But everyone knows....RED is the best color! ;-)

 

My first gen was dark red. I liked that color... Honestly red and black were tied for the 2 colors I wanted least. Got stuck with black and I'm actually happy I did.

 

Finally put the damn bumper on!

Before


After

 

I was set on the "Cement" color, but also an AC and MT. 'Salesman called me down to drive a Barca Red unit he had just got in. I told him on the phone. "The color will be a show stopper for any sale"

I drove the red truck home that day, and now I sort of like it/

But I live a mile off pavement, and our raod mud and dust is a perfect match to that Toyota "Cement"! ;-)

 

Was talking about that with my wife today. Every vehicle I have owned has been red, until I got my black Tacoma in 2018. It was on the lot, and was a manual access Off-road, so I jumped on it. Decided I liked black, and so when I “ordered” my 2022, and it even had a black bumper, I was sold.
Yes, you wind up washing them a lot, but there are worse ways to spend a hour…and as they say, “once you go Midnight, you’ll never go back.”

 

I've got a black Audi A4. This past two weeks of tree pollen has been brutal!

 

Hard to beat black when it's clean and shiny, but that doesn't usually last long. My 2nd gen was black, my 3rd gen is Cement, which hides dirt great. Even the pollen doesn't look too bad on it. Kinda gives it a Lunar Rock vibe.

 

I mean ... ANY color Tacoma can be made to look awesome. I might have asked for red if I saw this pic..

Price dictated my choice of truck. White was my preferred color.

 

You guys are like looters in a McDonalds with those raptor lights jeez. Just slammed through 6 pages and over half the tacos in here got em.

 

Not me, I refuse to put those dinosaur lights on my truck.

 

I wash mine about once every 3-4 months.

I've embraced the fact that it actually looks good when it's nice and dirty. Your right, after owning metallic black I really wouldn't want any other color now... Funny how that happened.

 

I need to get a pic

Mine is Barca Red, AC,Sport, gray Softopper, 5 degree sliders, front receiver hitch, zero offset American Racing wheels on stock sized snows in winter.

I think I have done a proper wash of it maybe three times.

Presently working on mounting Thule TracOne rack to clear the ST.

Maybe I shouldn't get a pic......;-)

 

Anyone have a thule rack on a double cab with a midrise? I know it’s a lot but debating on what kind of roof rack

 

I suspect you meant RED is the CORRECT color because WHITE is the best. I know, it seems so plain and simple but with WHITE you have the feature of it flaking off and exposing the olive green undercoating in ever surprising patterns and locations.

Not bad at all. We had it installed I a few hours. We ran the power wire up the driver side and the RCA's and remote wire up the passenger side. I have a Sony HU so hooking it up was simple.

 

On the refill did you do the trans temp fill process?

Just making sure you didn’t measure what came out, and matched incase it was under filled previously or at factory if first drain.
