What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I carry a Viair 400P in my DB Cross Bin.

 

Here’s my “gardening section.” The rake is for campsites, plus they are good for raccoons. the loppers are nice to have. Bolt cutters are for locked gates…. In the event I really need to go that way instead

 

Since no one else chimed in, I cannot speak directly to the OEM cover, but some versions only flip twice, and then you have to remove it. Lomax covers come in a three fold, with arms to strap the last to the cab roof, so you can drive with it open, or the other version only flips twice, and to get the rest of the space you remove it. the Lomax difference is described that the two fold one is very easy to remove and reinstall, but the tri fold model is much more difficult to remove, but rarely do you need to remove it. With it folded up, it still takes up 6 or 8 inches of the open bed. Hope this helps with understanding you own.

 

Took a quick video of our Adventure Basket with the sliding option.

You don't. Toyota top LOOKS like a 3 Flipper but it's really a 2 flipper.

 

The taco got some new shoes today!

 

Thanks! Im running fox 2.5s. The front is 3” and the rear is about 1.5”

 

Ditto, you just described my first oil change on my taco. In the past I’ve always used a stainless steel pan like you would see on a buffet line, always worked well. But not so well on this truck, I too was given a bath in 0-20. Now I use a bucket and it works well.

 

I have those steel hotel pans for tools and parts. I’ve been using the free curbside recycling oil pan for draining. Have to ask our garbage company for it, they pick up, and drop off a little baggie for the filter also. But anyway, it’s this type of pandef needs to have the vent open when draining, I’ve also been leaving the engine fill cap on while draining.
Synthetic oil seems to “clean up” easier than conventional.

 

Get yourself a fumoto valve. Then all you'll have to worry about is the filter

 

This is also a good option for no mess oil changes.

I recently installed the MillerCat shield on my Tacoma.

 

Not available in my area (TN), never even heard of it before... Local auto parts store, or I just use one of my old work shops to drain my 5 gallon used oil container(s) (not bucket)...

EDIT, may not have worded it fully lol
Local auto parts stores all take used oil as well as local auto repair shops... Curbside is NOT available...

 

Welcome to the future man, its available in your area. You may have to take it to your auto parts store to recycle it, and it may take a while to get it shipped to you...

 

Oops, forgot a few words, see edit above...

I was referring to curb side pick up for used fluids, not taken it somewhere anyway...

 

I figure it’s a California thing. Honestly I just use the pan and pour into the newly empty container or a 5 gallon bucket and take it to the auto parts store. It’s easier than calling for a pickup.

 

4 cylinder? Any rattles? Do you have more pics? Does it block the tranny drain plug?

 

My new to me '22 SR5 DCLB. Put new wheels and tires, mud flaps, and VLEDs tail-light kit. Had a '24 but it suffered from too many first year production glitches IMO. Went to the 3G for the simplicity and enjoying this truck a lot.

 

aluminum wheels look great with white!
