What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I do enjoy turkey tacos

 

Hope that gobbler didn't take a dump on your bed cover.

 

I like them a lot actually.

• Very quiet on the freeway, 35miles to work, all doing between 60-75mph. I think they're quieter than the stock tires I took off. lol
• Little more sway in the tight corners, but that's to be expected with that much sidewall on a stock 7" wide rim.
• No notable issues with braking traction so far. I did a few hard 'test' stops on way home from tire shop to see how much the tread difference and added tire weight was going to affect lead time to stop.

I've only been hard into the brakes in traffic once this week, but it stopped just fine.

Now to see what kind of mileage I get out of them. Mudders on my Dodge Ram lasted just over a year... lol

 

is that the new turkey tonneau cover people have been raving about?

 

Totally did. Ugh.

 

That's exactly what Big Wireless Earbud wants you to think!

 

Fooking fowl.

 

not normally a fan of monochrome wheels and paint, but that truck looks BADASS!

 

hey, I’m having some squishy brake symptoms with my PRO. Deal said they did the front brakes before they sold it to me. But now I seem to have a significant amount of shimmy in the wheel when the truck is cold (first drive of the day). Then goes away after about 15-20 min of driving. Plus, the brakes seem super soft and the truck wants to dip to left under hard braking. Any ideas to help out?

 

Better on your bed cover vs inside your truck (see my post about earlier today.)

 

No I was not in the "intended victim."

Or was I?

 

I like... So much better than loose coin.

Yes, brighter but no problem

 

Put on a gas mask. Got on my back and sprayed the shit out of the frame etc. with Fluid film.

 

How many miles on your truck?

Brakes really shouldn't need done til over 100k but I kept getting braking vibrations as I said. They were minor but never the less...

For you, it depends if they replaced the rotors or not. Some places will turn them (machine them thinner) instead of replacing. Not a good move, saves a couple of bucks but you get a rotor that might warp. Usually braking vibration is more often caused by pad deposits than rotors being out of true or warped.

You can re-bed the pads - look up brake pad bedding procedures online.

If the pedal is soft, your brakes need bled.

Diving under braking is a common "feature" of stock Tacoma suspension. If anything the dive will become more pronounced with better brakes.

Rotors and pads were $160 all in. 2 hours to swap them in my driveway including running to the parts store to get a couple cans of brake cleaner and time spent jacking the truck up.

 

41k miles.
Also, I forget, the truck had wheel spacers on when I bought it. Can those affect vibrations?

I should just pull the pads and see what’s going on.

Is there anything special to bleed the Pro brakes with the TSS system? Or just do it as normal?
Thanks.

 

Switched out the license plate lights to LED

 

Just did mine this weekend!

 

Well over the past weekend I traded in my 2020 for a 2022 Barcelona Red SR5 and another build begins. First truck in a long time was not Super White

 

Had to sneak a mod on I picked up on the market place.
