What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like it, make do with what you have

Thanks

 

There is mutual respect. She was an investment advisor until JP Morgan made extensive layoffs. He was making large amounts of money in his job. They took the roles that made the best sense ... he makes it, she puts it in "roach motels" so that retirement will be pleasant.

 

Driven both, completely different experience.

 

Pulling about 400 studs on a used affordable set of General Grabber A/T, (265/70-17), with winter around the corner I’ll be swapping from 265/75-16 to 17x7” FJ Steelies since we use tons of salt.
trying to decide which cap I like best?

 

Why would you pull out studs on Generals ?
Then in last pic you show new BFGT on new wheels ?

 

I like those steelies

 

Two different sets.
I’m in NW Missouri, I don’t want to run studs as we don’t generally need them here with a 4x, I think our law states from like Nov to April for studs. I’ll likely use them for when I go out to the Rockies as to not gouge up the “beadlocks” I have about $460 in the winter set (tire, caps, wheels and nuts) and too much in the summer set.

 

Had the dealership do my first oil change, tire rotation etc. at 2880 miles(they really didn’t want to do it but I insisted). So at 6044 miles I did it myself with all Toyota components. Everything went great except when I drained the oil pan and filter housing I got almost 7qts. total also the oil was darker than I would like for only 3000? Am I just tripping not knowing the nature of this beast?

"When I was in the front row of the movie theater, and TW was streaming on the main screen, I saw a picture of a truck, actually doing truck work, so I lurched forward as I normally do when I see pictures and wanted to confirm what it was that I was seeing, and I'll be dammed, it was a truck, doing, truck things."

Nothing, that seems to be a result of a 'dealership' surprises me, anymore. I think they over filled you. Well-Filled, if you will. Take it as a compliment.

 

Washed, clayed full truck, polished hood only, waxed all, rain-x all windows. I can't wait for the rain. Haha.

 

That pay off mod is the best one I’ve done so far

 

I like the way your tires poke out!

My Bushwacker fendys would like it too.

What size tires and offset?

Obviously, a lift.

 

Thanks.

Wheels are 17 x 8 zero offset, tires 265 70 17 almost at end of life.

Lift, 2" OME, medium.

 

I think it looks better without, maybe even more rugged without the curvy tubing. I like edges.

 

I'd run them if they had my size

 

The LS3 vette's and the newer mid/rear engine c8's are fun. I've had a couple 4th gen LS1 Camaro's.

Yep. There's no substitute for Porsche.

Looks awfully dark for 3k miles. They probably didn't change it. I stick with 3k-5k intervals, but have gone 7k once without issue. Valvoline 0w-20 and oem filters.

 

How many miles did you get out of those?

 

What does it look like when poured? Sometimes it can look darker just sitting. Also, I've noticed certain oils, like Royal Purple, get a lot darker quicker than Mobil 1.

 

Went cheap with some vinyl sticker overlays for the 80-90’s hilux, and threw them on my rekgens. Did this instead of buying new mf. Really doubt they will want to stay on, but my truck just mostly sits in the garage so at least it will look cool for a little while.
