What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

how much weight are you carrying? i think my Falken's have a max of 50psi but i run them at 34/ 30 to avoid center wear Old School mentioned. also so it doesn't ride so stiff.

 

A co-worker of mine went to the police academy a few years ago. He said that one guy in his class almost failed out of the academy because he struggled to complete the driving portion without a back-up camera.

 

East penn makes both branded batteries branded deka, & Duracell. Fwiw.

 

Just a few hundred under 5 k.
Again I prefer the stiff ride.

 

PCV valve. I just got an oil change done, 60k miles

How often do you guys replace the valve? Thinking about replacing this weekend since its around 30.00

 

I saw the PCV valve. Looked like a PITA to swap out.

 

These motors now with the synthetic oil. I would think nearer a hundred k in miles.I could be wrong but unless your adding a bunch of crap in the motor there really shouldn’t be any sludge to contend with. That is the number one cause that kills pcv valves. IMHO.

 

As long as you like the stiffer ride then that is great for you. Around 10 years ago I remember a lot of people talking about increasing the tire pressure to increase the gas mileage. So, I decided to increase my tire pressure from 34 psi to 40 psi. After around 10k miles I noticed that my tires started to look like my bald head and the gas mileage difference was minimal. I went back to 34 psi and never looked back. New tires are very expensive and you can buy a lot of gas for what they cost.

 

Looks just as good on Long Island as it does in Virginia

 

Yes they do, they love the heat. I had a whole row along the fence 20ft tall (pinks, reds, whites). It's nearly impossible to kill those and bugs hate them. You can hack the heck out of them and they grow back like weeds.

 

Sure does

 

Paid off my truck and house loan

 

Damn how good does that feel?

 

They’re not the same are they? Just checking (my son may/may not have lived in his Taco for a while).

 

Diode Dynamics hitch pod with the quick flash installed.
Eventually gonna get a third brake light to match.



Also those mirrors I was talking about, photos don't really do it justice. I no longer have a blind spot.

 

I’d take you up on that if we lived near one another. I’m in northern Canada

 

Oof. yeah just source one locally haha. There is enough room to add a stud up to about 1/2" longer without having to take anything apart more than removing the drum and maybe 1 shoe spring. My studs are 1" longer (advertised wrong by wheeladapter) so I drilled a hole in the backing plate to install. I should have just gone with the Matrix studs and saved myself the trouble lol. Went from 6 lug turns to 17 turns though and that's a nonissue for extended nuts

 

Put on my summer wheels/tires which are the factory wheels. Odd thing is, the TPMS had been paired to the winter wheels but the light hasn't come on ! Can two sets of wheels be in the system ??

 

Congrats! Did that myself a couple of years back. It's nice not having a car or house payment.

 

I remember every time I paid off a vehicle As for a home. Still working on it.
