What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Those attachment rails to mount the tonneau look identical to what Bakflip uses. Probably the same manufacturer.

 

I installed both, never tried it without them, not worth finding out at a bad time... Piece of mind..

They always do a 5% off (1st timer anyway) and BF will probably do a 20% off like last year, It is probably the safest best mod you can do to one of these trucks, I was on the fence about it cause I'm a cheap Bastard, but then I got behind a 3rd gen Tacoma at a red light and noticed that the turn and brake lights are dim (a joke sadly) compared to most modern cars... The VTAIL turn signals are so bright if you are in your garage at night with the lights off and hit the lock/unlock button on the Fob they will about hurt your eyes lol, crazy bright, I mean Ray Charles could see your VTAIL brake and turn signal lights after install...

I think that LEDs should be standard on anything that has TSS...

Awww yeah, the amazing impact driver, the best loosing tool in your tool box that you forget you have, it can be used for so many things.. I have used my Mac tools one to get rounded off lug nuts loose, like the F-150 trucks and such, used it to get wheel locks off with out a key also, lot of techs don't realize that you can use sockets with them... I love mine... lol

 

I got the camera mounted (twice lol)... Had to take it back apart to install the garnish... Had the grill out in 10 minutes, took for freaking ever to seperate the dang thing, with the chrome trim, it has to be removed 1st and it fought back, a lot, the you can remove the grill insert from the shell... PIA, but I didn't break anything... Put it back together pretty fast, had to run the screws in and out multiple times for them to self tap enough to tighten up... Then back in the truck in 10 minutes and that included going inside and asking my wife to hold the light cause I couldn't see for crap, finished at midnight... lol
But damn it look so much better without the chrome trim ring...

 

Did anyone else read “Puppyhunter”
The first time??

 

I once took 5 full garbage cans to the transfer station. Put that long bed to work.

 

Truth be told. I gave the access cab the nod was the extra bed space. Not knocking the smaller beds , just not my cup of tea

 

Nice yard. I am envious.

 

Ouch

 

I’m not. Mowing to me is like shoveling snow . But every dammed 4 days!!

 

I’m also looking to upgrade my Tacomas stereo head unit any recommendations

 

Yeah, but it looks good when it’s done.

 

No question. Also a good excuse to crack open a beer. But every 4 days?! Ugh !!

 

I bought a new locking gas cap due to a P0456 code, small EVAP leak.
Driven close to 100 miles since, so far no new code or CEL. Fingers crossed it was this simple

 

I had a locking gas cap when I had My RAM. The truck was left at 24 hour periods (employee parking) 3 times a week.

 

Yeah I don't think I need one for security, living in rural Idaho but I wasn't able to find a non-locking cap that would work. Searching the forum I could only find info on the Stant locking gas cap that would lock tight enough to clear the code, most of the time.
Still hoping this was the issue and nothing else...

 

Hey thanks! I only have one other classic drawing in my phone. The rest are at home packed away. Old tattoo designs and stuff. Did this one when I got my wife's old Ram lifted. Probably 2002? Fabtech lift with 35's. I called it the "Mall Crawler" cuz all she did was drive the boy to preschool in it.

 

Well they do make a double cab long bed...

But if it was just my wife and myself I might have gone with the AC, but I have used the rear seat(s) for my grown kids as well as grandkids a lot (weekly at times), plus with the seats folded down, my puppy(s) have plenty of room...
If I didn't still have the full size truck to use when/if needed, I might have gotten the LB, well that and it would have made getting in the 2nd fridge in the garage harder to get into with the tailgate down...

 

Not to state the obvious but I hear the dealer has gas caps....

Keep a eye on it, not too many years ago I saw a ton of issues in general with aftermarket gas caps causing the CEL to come on, or just flat out not working very long... So even if the CEL comes back on soon, that doesn't necessarily mean you have a different issue, it could still be your new aftermarket gas cap... But hopefully you are all good and don't have anymore issues with it...

 

Designed and printed some covers for my LightForce IR Pods. It’s the little things. If anyone needs some let me know.

 

Too late now , but any pick an pulls in Idaho?? Shit, I may just grab one. For the sake of grabbing one. lol.
