What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lawdy help me, she wants to drive the taco.

 

P&S is legit and been in the business since the 50’s..
Another super cost effective cleaning solution is simply a little bit of dish soap (Palmolive,dawn) in warm water in a spray bottle. I spray and wipe down everything and follow up with a natural shine rubber/vinyl protectant that has scotchguard, been doing it for 25 years.. my interiors look new and have no sign of cracking or peeling; dish soap also, is good at stripping wax if you want to start from a clean slate, it’s a degreaser. A few coats of scotchguard on everything but clear plastic and windows goes a long way as well.

 

Did the 3rd brake light recall today. And got the Toyota runner bed mat.

 

Is that sticker a California law?

 

I don't think I'd be brave enough for that one, not as a first vehicle anyway. Cheaper two-door coupe with a stick shift always seems to me to be the best move. Cheap to buy, cheap to fuel, cheap the insure and cheap to destroy (because they will). After they've wrapped that around a tree once or twice and figured out how to not be stupid, that's when they get to drive a vehicle worth more than a random person's average annual salary.

 

What heaters did you use?

 

Baaaad chicken!

 

Installed a OVS 270LT Awning last night. Had to go test it out at the beach today

 

Made it back before dark.
No, not a law. Just sort of a fair warning to other drivers. To be honest I'm not sure it helps much. I think some drivers like fucking with new learning drivers, so that magnet is like hey look at me, I'm a new driver, why don't you go out of your way and test my skills.

 

Yeah that “scratchy” part of the door panel that’s different than all the rest a micro fiber didn’t wipe it well that’s why I was asking. That Interior cleaner I listed is 9.99 on Amazon. I haven’t tried any other of their products though. So you use a brush on your interior? I just spray that cleaner then wipe with a cloth. Is that not right?

 

I have heard you can get tinted with them on but I plan on waiting. Why did you get dark smoke over the matte black?

 

Yeah, the tail lights were easy to swap out. There are three bolts on each side of the bed that you unscrew, then the tail light just pops out after you pull on it. Disconnect the lights from the old tail light, and then put the new one in. It's a pretty quick job to do.

 

We've got an 05 acura tsx manual that they've (got twins) been learning on and will be theirs to drive. I don't want to sound like a naive parent, god know the stupid shit I did as a kid and I'm thankful they didn't follow my steps as a teenager, but they have good heads on them, thankfully. Not saying shit can't happen, cuz it does and I'm aware of that. We took it out on some pretty quiet roads to ease my nerves. They'll be driving the acura and hopefully that tree will be a very skinny twiggy one.

 

The local technical school trains truck drivers and they have a rig for the hands on part of the course. Both the tractor and the trailer is plastered with warning signs and has a bright yellow "CAUTION, STUDENT DRIVER" sign on both ends. Guess they work since I've never heard of it being involved in an accident.

 

Not sure really. I was on the fence between matte or dark smoke. I think the matte might tie in a little better with the OR flairs and trim but I do like the smoke too, so I'm not feeling like I should have gone with matte if that makes any sense.

 

Yah, and testing the skills of a semi truck and trailer driver is a bit riskier than testing the skills of a driver in a passenger car.

 

Looks good. I have been thinking of getting a set of those for mine also

 

Wow $630 seems pretty good. I don’t think I would wait on that one, as I’m sure steel prices blah blah blah.

 

People do tend to keep their distance from it. Saw it about a week ago on I-95 and it was a lone wolf. Don't think it was going over 55mph.

 

I taught my daughter how to drive in my Tacoma, when she got her license I gave her the truck. Shes been driving it for almost two years now and she loves it! Shes got a lift going in next week.
