What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks for the info!

 

I can't imagine having to prepare for that, but I suppose it becomes normal after a while.

You don't need it to say Toyota...just
Pilkington

 

Had my windshield replaced earlier this week. I asked about OEM replacement glass and they told me that it was currently on indefinite backorder for Tacomas. Ended up with Pilkington. Hopefully the Pilkington lasts longer than the previous OEM windshield.

 

ECM, harness, 4wd computer, 28 sensors etc. All electrical pretty much. Fuel system absolutely fried the circuitry and logged hard data to memory which kept trying to reset and smoked it

 

If you ever wondered if a box of siding would fit through the back window of your Taco, well now you know.
Billiebars were handy in supporting the 12' box as it drooped over the tailgate.

 

Yiiiikes that sucks!

 

Glad you were able to get it to fit!

 

Got the tent finally put on! Thank you REI and your 20% off codes.

 

Not mine, but helping my buddy on his 3rd gen. 05+ superduty front axle, got coilovers and bypasses fit in

 

The Auto boxes have ASSAULT mode? WHOA! 6MT gonna cringe ....

 

That's who manufacturers them. It just won't uave the oem logo. I had to replace mine about 2 years ago

 

I bought mine CASH. Now I miss retiring the loan.....;-(

 

I recently got a bit over 24 mpg coming west to east from Alamosa.

Gravity assist!

Been on them since March 2022. Previously had a set of wildpeak at's that I had really liked and ran as a year round tire. Live in Alberta so that's like at least 5 months of shitty winter city road driving to work.

The tire performs just as well if not better as the wildpeak does in the winter and that had me really surprised. It's still an AT tire and not a true dedicated winter, but it surpased my expectations of what and AT tire could deliver after years of running dedicated winters on other vehicles. I rarely use 4x4 in the city unless it's super ugly out and has just dumped and generally toss a few sandbags in the back for what it's worth.

The truck is a daily driver on the freeway and despite having a more spaced out tread pattern than the wildpeak they are no more noisier.

Offroad I had a great opportunity to test them out for what they are worth on a soggy overnight trip that was rained out start to finsih. Aired down they conform and grip amazingly for an AT tire and felt right at home on a wet, muddy, rocky cutline trail with many creek crossings. Can't wait to throw more at them. Will be interested to see how they do shedding the disgusting clay mud that can be found all to often around here.

Wear has been good and even so far as well after the about 15k km's I've put on them as well. They will be replaced by another set in 285/70/17 hopefully soon, though the new Yoko AT XD G017 will probably get a solid eyeballing before making that choice.

Have heard a few other guys around here comment that they are the best all around, all season to run for what we see and do.

 

Drop checked the front end for fun, needs some shock tuning thats for sure

 

Do you have another one for the taco?

 

Thinking we’ll be around $1600-1800 shipped to the lower 48 for the bumper. Still unsure on swing out pricing but the goal is ~1000-1200 shipped. Pricing together will be a little bit cheaper since they would ship together. Working on swing out design, bumper is pretty much done but the plan is to allow you to add a swing out later.

Perfection can be a curse sometimes. I may be biased but I think this will be the highest quality bumper out there.


All of my products go through 3-5 revisions even if it’s things most may not notice someone will and will appreciate it.

 

Did your truck's front valance come that way without the front license plate or did you a delete? Curious!! It looks really really clean
