What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Wasn’t sure if I could get 2 bikes in the bed after I installed the toolbox but sure enough you can

 

He rolled shotgun to dump it at the township Mt. Krumpet

 

Had the 3rd Gen detailed by Kootenay Detailing today. Dale spent 7 hours doing the interior/exterior. So impressed. I told my son sorry I have to keep it now (kidding) as I've got my new Gen 4. It looks as close to new as possible. Very impressed by the job Dale did.

 

If he does not appreciate the truck ... disown him.

 

Lightening holes!

Minimalist!

I like!

 

Park in the sunshine on a nice breezy summer's day with the doors OPEN.

Amazing difference!

 

It's down hill and with the wind on that run!

 

Looks great! What brand is the topper tent? I just got a softopper (ditching the bed tent too) and was going to purchase the softopper tent from there website i found: https://softopper.com/products/softopper-camper-top-tent-full-size/?sku=AC-CTENT-BTF

but interested to hear about yours!

 

Squezzed out a few drops of fuel this AM on way to work. The ole minivan motor never stops impressing me

 

@guaco.supreme curious what size tires you're running. I'd like to do a regear at some point but I'm running 265/70R17's (may go to 285 next time) and thinking maybe 4.88 is enough for those.

 

265/75r16 (31.6 inch) at the moment, which equates to the same size as yours. If I were to stay at this size and wasnt adding weight I would probably go 4.88.

5.29s are a little over-geared for anything under a 33 inch tire. Reason I went with 5.29 is A) 33's will be next tire size, B) I'll be at roughly 500lbs additional weight with cap, drawers, winch, etc., and B) I pull a ~2000lb camper trailer in the mountains often enough.

 

Thanks. I haul about 1200lbs between the quad, trailer, and gear 4 hours several times a year and haul maybe 4000 lbs of boat and trailer about the same distance a couple of times a year. I'll have to see if I go with 285's next time then make a decision.

 

TBH even with the 265's since you tow often enough I'd just do 5.29. I'll chime in after a few more tanks to see what mpgs do, but so far I see no negative impact.

 

Cool. Sounds good.

 

Went out with Tinkerers Adventure testing out the LC250 and FJ and my Tacoma at Rausch Creek offroad park.

Changed out my grill to the facelift OR grill. I like it, but I think I want to paint it black or go with an all-black Pro grill. Also installed my Rokblokz that have been sitting around and not sure if I like them yet. My bed isn’t aligned correctly and one of the bolts is seized, so I wasn’t able to get it adjusted.

 

Over the weekend I got an oil change and took it in for the service recall, brought it home and I....

Added the glovebox inserts:




Added the Tacoma Tailgate Inserts:




Switched the Trail Edition Taillights for standard ones:



Raptor Lights:

 

Getting ready for the weekend. Time for that dredded front brake job. Im joking, should be fine.

 

60k miles on the stock brakes.
