TRD Sport 5/14/2021 - Loving my 3rd Gen Tacoma!

I forgot to post my 2-year anniversary on TW: Sep 28, 2021.

Happy Anniversary to me!!!

I've thoroughly enjoyed ownership and the experiences I've had in the past 2+ years.

Both here and at the dealerships...believe it or not.

I didn't make a huge commotion about my expectations being let down...I just stopped going to that dealership after the negative experience.

Well, it's time to spend time with my wife and grocery shopping.

 

Hey Ed. I know this post has been a while now. Do you happen to have the link where you hot the grill and garnish?

 

Hey @ThAkki,

Random question...check this link first to read about the site.

The letters must be screwed on...wasn't too hard to figure out since the site has a how-to video.

I did not add the washer the guy suggested to the TSS mount and the system works fine.

Cool. Thank you.

 

Ordered Total Chaos Bed Stiffeners last week Thursday/28 Sept...they are preparing shipment via UPS today.

This is my Christmas Gift so they will be boxed up until then...well, I will sneak a peek upon arrival! lol

At least I'll know what one of my gifts is going to be...and that I will be thrilled to install them.

 

Good morning and Happy Friday Delaware.

The Total Chaos shipment is expected delivery for today.

Of course, I'll inspect and take photos just because...then I'll repack and save it for Christmas wrapping--one of my gifts!

I'm tentatively scheduled to get my OTT Tune update (9.0) this Sunday...a nice drive up north to meet OTT Tuner, Allan.

Enjoy your weekend!

 

Pics from this morning. Remember, I'm not installing until Christmas.

I wanted to make sure I bought mine before they went on backorder.

Packaged well.



I'm gonna put one of the little white stickers on the back window.



Well made product.

 

Got OTT Tune update, V9, Med/Mild/Spicey! Thanks Allan!!!

Love it...the response with ECT was astoundingly noticeable.





I have my first patch on the inside roof of my Sporty Spice!!!

 

I bought a new flag the other day. All I needed was the flag pole kit which I bought today!

Life is good.

 

Well, I just discovered I can watch MLB on HBOMax--I added it so I can watch S2 of House of the Dragon.

I turned off Cable TV and turned in the rental Router/Internet box and bought my own...reduced my cable/internet from $260 to $112/month.

The internet service will do for now but we are definitely happy with price reduction.

I installed 4 Blink Outdoor cameras today...one went inside in the Living Room/TV Room.

Also, got a Blink Doorbell camera installed and replaced/reprogrammed the keypad garage remote and remotes for our cars.

I even cleaned 2 kitty litter boxes! I deserve a Gold Star from my wife.

It's time to head to Class VI...I mean, the liquor store for some beers!

 

Yes, good call on the beer!

 

I remote started my Sporty Spice this morning...since there was a freeze warning overnight.

Had to remind myself how to do it again! lol

 

Great News!

I'm projected to buy the DiamondBack SE Tonneau cover by year's end.

Very excited!

 

UPDATE:

Received official offer letter from new employer tonight...yes, on Taco Tuesday!

Celebrate Good Times, come on!

 

Parked next to this beast today...was pricing a DeWalt Brushless Drill for SIL for Christmas.

Man! That's a whole lotta truck! Buahahahahaha!!!

 

Nothing more beautiful than a freshly washed black Tacoma. Keep it that way by locking it in your garage.

 

Appreciate the feedback.

I'm doing my best to keep Sporty Spice nice and clean.
