What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I hear ya. I was initially anxious just parking at the store.

That all went away once I rolled back into a tree. I barely touched it and it left a very small dime-sized ding at the top of the tailgate. After that I was cured….




This all comes out with scratch remover by hand and then some wax (except for the plastic fender flares).

 

Dude. That trail rash! My eye is twitching.

 

You may have scratches, but you also have stories and memories!

 

Part it out! The truck is totaled.

 

Hood stamp and windshield visor.

 

Very nice looking truck.

 

You need to get to the point where the scratches make no difference…

I do like seeing pictures of clean pickup beds and imagining how mine would look. In 5 years I have yet to run a hose in the back of mine. It will just get dirty next week so why bother.

I’ve grown fond of my collection of mud, branches and bugs. A complete biosphere back there.

 

That's a Nice Grille you have there, What Brand is that, I like the placement of the lights and letters.

 

Ever think of investing in goat truck armor? https://goat-truckarmor.com/

 

Where can I purchase those brackets?

 

VERY NICE INDEED! What bumper is that?

 

Man that looks fun!

 

your engine compartment needs a cleaning...

 

No. I don’t spend much any money on my trucks, only bare essentials. A wee bit better shocks, tires, roof rack for boat and a toolbox for recovery gear. Then just drive em.

Hey, 40 years at this. As long as they get me in and back out, all good.

Some rubbing compound to get the big scratches less evident.

I had an 86 F150 I bought brand new. Basic 4x4, 4spd 300ci straight 6. Steel interior floors, steel interior ceiling, no power anything, bench seat, no AC, beast of a truck and ultra reliable.

First year, based on some topo maps I head up a really steep mountainside to try and reach a hike in only lake. So 3 miles of less than truck width trail, no turnaround.

I reverse the 3 miles back down. No backup camera of course. Drive reverse 5 feet. Stop, correct forward and then again another 5 feet reverse. Repeat.

About 100 brutal truck length deep scratches, both sides.

After 2 days of rubbing compound, got them down to about 50% of what they started at.

Just kept driving it, about 40 trips per year off road with that truck, all over BC hunting for small remote lakes.

Can’t beat it, still live for it.

Back out again tomorrow to see how deep the snow has gotten since last week.

 

New lighting - Diode Black Friday deal.

Can actually see that beautiful hickory brown at night. I’ve been obsessed with this interior since the 3rd gen rolled out when I was an awkward high schooler whipping around in a 96 accord with no a/c and manual windows in south Louisiana.

 

Changed the oil and filter. Was going to rotate my tires but can't find the Damm key for the lock nuts

 

It was OEM Premium Non-JBL. I replaced all speakers and dinomatted the doors. No amp or sub yet. The speakers put out pretty good bass on there own. I have the ex-crossover settings to gain more bass without damage. I would like to do an under the set sub at some point. I just have to cool down the credit card.lol.

 

Rad. I have the OG version in my MK3 Supra.

 

dust is good protection from dust.

I usually just got with spray and pray...
