What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ordered 4/7 and arrived today. Rear shocks are still inbound, about 1-2 weeks behind the coil-overs. The guys at Accutune have been awesome about keeping me updated and putting up with my pestering.

 

I’ve seen several reports of the aftermarket ones being a little difficult to install, including a guy on a YouTube video. Those racks do look good, though.

 

Looks extremely dangerous to me with them not being rigid. Be careful.

 

I think I would just put a step stool in the bed and set it up for her each time she had to get in and out of the truck. You are a lucky man to have a wife that is willing to use those steps.

 

Was this “pregnant wife approved”? Word of warning - it wasn’t. Even if she said it was “fine”, tread lightly, my friend. I have learned this from many pregnancies and many “creative solutions”.

 

Ha no way. I ordered my kit on 4/7 as well. Hopefully mine are coming soon!
I’ve been pestering the crap out of guy at trails end also!

 

I’m out of screws but the specs are
M5-0.8 x 20mm Flat Head

Maybe someone would get another box and do the same

 

Come on guys....*would have. Have! Not of. Where did you all go to school?

 

Approved no. Tolerate yes. Going to add a foot board just need to cut the stainless and bolt it on. She gets in my truck few times a month. She knows I hate her rogue so she giving me a pass I think. I work long hard hours make good money which allows her to stay at home with our first and one to be. That also gives me some wiggle room. Going to keep working on getting that approval.

 

It is the color.
According to research results, white color attracting most insects. Including ticks, mosquitos e.t.c. So, for personal safety, avoid light colour (white)
outerwear while camping in May-June (!) especially. Insects on white truck is just a irritating fact.
Stay safe!

 

Nah these are fake sliders lol, I'm 99% highway so I really don't need real sliders. I got em for my wife and son. (and to wash/dry the top of the roof )

They're "Topline" Nerf bars/Running boards that I bought off of Amazon, but unfortunately they've been unavailable for awhile now. Not bad so far for $300...

Huh?

This is a truck forum, not english class. I dont give a flying fuck what proper word I should of used.

 

Picked up my new to me 3rd gen last week. Looks like the badges were painted black (poorly) so it was wearing off and looked like crap so I remedied that

 

Lmao the haves and the have nots

 

Good luck with the tires man. I bought three get one free at Pep Boys for my 2nd Gen. After I finally talked the manager into riding with me he agreed the tires sucked. I had taken them to an independent tire place to get balanced as they were rough riding. The Tire manager came to get me and explained he can't balance out of round tires! He showed me all three that were out of round and it was visibly obvious they were this way. What really bothers me is the techs have to know these tires are out of round and sell them anyway. Got my money back, kept the free tire as my new spare as I had moved up to 265/75/16. Replaced those with Hankook AT's and never looked back.

 

They’re not the stock tail lights, they were originally chrome inlays and I bought TRD pro tail lights with the black inlays instead. Truck is dechromed and debadged but the interior is still very much a limited.

 

No today but a couple weeks ago I put a square peg in a round hole. My fog light bulbs burnt out and being H16 from a limited I wasn’t looking forward to replacing them until I found brand new rigid D series fogs for less than 100$ From a local distributor. They were clearing out kits for a freight liner and I just backed up the brackets and welded them together to work for the Tacoma, cheap and sloppy but just a temporary solution until the OEM bumper is removed for an off road option at which point the fogs will go in that bumper.

 

So far I don't have any issue like that. My ride home from the store included over 10 miles on the highway. I would think if the tires had flat spots it would surely be evident at 65-70 mph. Maybe you were just unlucky and got some tires from a bad batch and bad service technicians too. I have to say we have a pepboys here in my town and I had a bad experience there years ago. I wouldn't take a tricycle there to be repaired. That was my first experience with Walmart Automotive and even from talking to the manger on the phone when I made the appointment I got a feeling like he was proud and confident with the work they do. The place as definitely in order when I got there and they seemed to know what they were doing at this location. I really hope I don't have any issues with them. Sorry that you did.

Just cleaned out my A/C. After doing the ac tube drain mod I had to disconnect the added tube.
I had to push the tube for the cleaner up into the evaporator tube so it could reach the ac unit. I was doing it from the passenger wheel well and accidentally pushed the drain tube in. I didn't notice and sprayed a whole can of foaming agent into my passenger floor. Nice. I guess that's where the tube exits if you push it in. Next time I'll just pull it out and connect the can from inside the cab. That'd be way easier anyway. At least the truck smells like clean linen lol.
