What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Snow tire rims, I could never be bothered to put something nicer on for winter.

I am digging them too, except for the 2 that are out of round now. Wobblety away, at least for maybe 6-8 more weeks and then back to the KO2s and the stock wheels.

 

added some rear facing ground lights so I can see better

 

yes, the exhaust goes down

 

And now it’s only a perfectly average sized pipe instead of a long pipe. If size matters to you

 

Nope, aftermarket

Can find it on Etsy

 

Just got a nail in my tire at 4500 miles on the odometer.

Debating if I should repair it myself with the slime PLUG kit I have or take it off and bring it to discount tire to fix.

Haven’t done it myself before so this may be the time to learn…. Anyone have experience doing it yourself? I really don’t want to deal with how busy discount tire is on Saturdays….

 

That slime shit is awful.

Best solution: go to a reputable tire shop that will dismount your tire and patch it from the inside.

Alternately, you can plug the tire yourself if the puncture is in the tread. Plug kits are readily available at any parts store and it’s very easy. You should be able to remove the nail/screw and install the plug without even removing your wheel from the truck.

 

Do Not use the Slime

 

At least someone got it lol

 

It’s the slime plug kit

 

The Slime plug kit is fine. Just made by the same company as the other stuff.

 

I’ve used the Harbor Freight plug kit, I keep 2 in each vehicle. Works well, be careful using the reamer tool, it bends easily….

 

this is an option in FL? You have the best plate in the state!

 

Yep DeSantis promoted it back in July and then it had to hit the required pre-order numbers and they just became available. I'm sure there are more out there but I haven't seen another one yet.

 

did you just order at the DMV or can it be done online?

 

This install document probably has the detail that is going to help answer that question.

I pre-ordered mine but I would assume they are available at the DMV.

 

That does answer my question thanks

 

January 7th, Happy New Year to you all!
Parts have still not arrived to repair my damaged Tacoma.
Makes me want to buy them all off Ebay and wherever i can get them from and fix them myself,
the only thing i cant do is the body work on the tailgate. ugh ! the world has gone to shit when i have been waiting 6 months now for parts. the thing that is messed up is that they are available but the body shop states they are still waiting. that's BS
