What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yeah

I'm really leaning towards these oil filters.
I bought 5 a year ago.

I just bought another 5 from eBay and used 2. Im gonna run some seafoam through the crank case and get a filter from the local dealer... See if that fixes my random cold start rattle and my low oil pressure dummy light

 

Mine starts right up.. no issues... I just keep getting low oil pressure whenever the temp is below 20

 

Hopefully you saved enough buying those filters off ebay to overhaul your engine. Why not get them from the dealer? Hopefully you haven't damaged it. I have never had any oil pressure issues, granted it only gets down to about 15 degrees here but still there's no way I would try to save a few dollars on cheap filters for an engine that costs thousands of dollars to rebuild or replace, not a chance!
Oil and the filter are two items you should NEVER skimp on, ever. Just some unsolicited advice.

 

Getting 12 mpg now lmao

 

I'd love to see some better pics of ur truck. I have a feeling it looks good and I'm curious.

 

Looking for recommendations on upgrading my leafs. Got the Elka 2.0 right now and loving it but figure when fully loaded (topper, tent , awning , single drawer system, accessories) I’ll need either a heavy duty leaf pack or have thought about a icon AAL. Lemme know what you guys have done! Thanks

 

eBay is known for having knock off, poor quality 'Toyota" filters and plugs.. Best to only order oil filters and spark plugs from a brick and mortar parts house or a Toyota dealer... Rock Auto has had some issues with the same knock off parts...

 

Agreed. An off-brand generic tailgate shell (steel plates) can be done on-the-cheap. Some things are best left to OEM.

 

Look into RoadMaster Active Suspension.

 

I buy only OEM filters and currently using OEM 0-20W. The other day it was -3 and my truck started just fine, no unusual issues at all. Last time I was near the dealer I bought 3 filters and 3 6qt boxes of oil. That’ll cover me for the next 15,000 miles.

 

Wait, do you refer to northeast US region as Southeast "North America" ? I never thought of it that way, interesting.

 

I have been very happy with my Deaver Stage 1 leaf springs. They have different stages based on the additional bed weight.
I have no affiliation with them other than I am a happy customer.

Ride height gain with approx 300#'s of constant additional weight:

Before Rear DS 35 1/2 After 38 1/8.
Before Rear PS 36 1/8 After 38 7/16.

Thnx, very nice! I'm usually not a fan of the decal stripes but it does very well to add some flavor to the white.

I love the bronze. If I wasn't in a Lunar Rock, I'd be so tempted...
