What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got some new shoes the other day

 

Haha thanks Ed, its because I have another vehicle so i switch back and forth.

 

Those look delicious! lol

Out of all that's out there, they are my fave.

 

My '20 has 56000.......

 

Dang!

Lots of driving.

I haven't gone on any long trips and work is 4.5 miles away...10 miles per day/50 miles per week.

Travel to Baltimore/Wilmington and sometimes Philly...but mostly to Rehoboth/Dewey Beach & Indian River on summer weekends.

 

Changed the oil and filter today. Also emptied the catch can. Then I put my new to me Rough Country front molle panel in place. Just need to locate my tool to remove 2 bed bolts so I can button everything up. Thanks @taco.MARK for the fantastic deal and it was great to meet you today.

 

I have a work rig (1st Gen with 260,000+), the '20 is my hunting/mtb rig and stays parked during the week. It's what it's for I guess...

 

I sold my 2016 Sport after 5.5 years with only 25k miles on it

 

Got the 10K on my 2022 after 1 and half year.

 

Finally got around to installing the TRD Lift Kit shocks. Set the front at 1.1in lift/stock rear. Here are the before and after pics.

 

nicest bed stiffeners out there but after installing mine they started rusting at spots where the powder coat wasn't applied properly. I had to clean and coat those areas to prevent rusting - keep a close eye on the joints.

 

Lol…love the box on the gray one I want to get a box but I need a tonneau cover. I always had Jeep Cherokee’s before this and my Tacoma carry’s so much more and for moving kids in and out of apartments it has been a God send

 

Tunes work still using 87 gas?

I went by a local wrap shop last week, and took my front emblem. They are supposed to send me an image to approve tomorrow or Wednesday.

 

Detailed the engine compartment fluids lid labeling and min max levels.

 

As a guy whose eyers are getting older, I can appreciate the concept, but that takes OCD to a whole new level.

 

My '89 had about 225k on it when I sold it (my old mechanic said it was still running around town a few years back) and my '99 made it to 310k. The '16 only has 85k.

 

Like a lot of others here, I took advantage of the Memorial Day discount @RCI and got a set of bed stiffeners and an engine skid plate (steel powder coated). FedEx $70. 2 pieces due on June 1. Received 2 of 2 on June 1 (stiffeners) and shipping notes stated 1 of 2 not delivered due to 'delivery exception'. Well, here we go! So I just kept checking the shipping notes daily and saw item was taken back to terminal for 'inspection' and was finally sent back out today. This is what I got:

All four corners busted open and tape added. We know stuff gets tossed around during shipping, but what is going to happen when you put a 45lb sheet of steel in a cardboard box with nothing supporting the corners of the steel? I don't want to be an AH about this but come on! I'm going to have to touch up the plate where the powder coat has rubbed off. I have notified the manufacturer (objectively) that improvements could be make to packaging to make damage less likely. They seem like quality pieces, but if I was going to order rock sliders and have them shipped, forget that now. YMMV
BTW that circle on the box that looks like a butt with a string coming out of it is actually the number 37 turned sideways. I think. Who the f knows.

 

I have nothing but problems with Fedex. Every single time I have something shipped to me by them the package is days late and damaged. I have no problems with UPS or USPS , even DHL rocks. Just freaking FedEx.

 

Sliders are typically shipped on a pallet, at least mine were, and required pickup at UPS Freight.
