What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Terminals cleaned and coated. 2021 Taco with Clarios battery.

15 months on a new battery, fumes seeped around the positive terminal giving it the blue fuzzy wuzzy. (Copper oxide is the blue).
Grabbed a couple of NOCO terminal protectors. To neutralize the blue oxide, Windex is base (alkyl) so it does a great job of neutralizing the acid, simple to water rinse afterward (keep Windex clear of battery caps!)

A handy item to have (it was back ordered when I did this, hence Windex works fine).

$20 NOCO NCP2 M401 Battery Terminal Cleaning Kit with Battery Corrosion Preventative Spray, Battery Cleaner Spray, Battery Terminal Cleaning Brush, and Anti-Corrosion Washers

RXT pack ships set to option 1 and an additional leaf that can be swapped in for option 2 or added for option 3. Each option gives a different amount of lift and handles more weight.

 

She is really starting to come together.. Finally got my sliders

 

This is why I had to get a truck with the automatic rear window. Town dump run with my best buddy

 

Summer, you have been warned. Don't fuck with me.




Edit: What do you all do with the tent cover when in use? I was going to attach velcro to the bottom of the tent so I could roll it up and use the straps to hold it under the tent??? Any bettersuggestions?

 

Hooked up my trailer and towed my little boat to the marina for the summer.

If all goes well, I only tow it twice a year.

 

I'll bring the beer!

 

With my old yakima rtt, there were straps/loops that would hold the cover. You roll it up and strap it to secure.

Edit:
Found a pic online to reference. Not sure if your CVT would have something similar. I would think so.

 

Switched up to a different grille/light bar behind new grille

 

Added cup guard and old school LC badge

 

I think I would look into re locating the basketball net. just me.

 

Same thing happened to me 2 weeks after I bought mine, only it was some tweeker looking for whatever they look for in other peoples property. It was a pain in the ass.

 

I think the black wheels look good. Good looking truck.

Uh oh. Boxes are showing up. Depending on when the other half of the kit shows up, I might have to roll around with my rear in the air this weekend!

 

The 2023 TRD MiniVan spotted in the wild...

Swapped out all six spark plugs and reinstalled with OEM sparklers at 51,300 miles. The passenger side plugs were not as tight (13 ft/lbs aka 156 "/lbs) as the driver side plugs, and #3 & #5 smelled of gasoline without any discoloration of the coil packs.
Did the hard side, drivers first and got rewarded with the easier side after.
