What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I love that off road jack, maybe if I got off my ass and bought one I wouldn't have to play floor jack jenga with chunks of 4x4.

Per reviews ... owners can confirm. $300. Big wheels make it difficult to maneuver in small spaces, unlike jacks with tiny wheels that sink into mud in the field. Also may be too tall even at minimum height for Civics or Corollas.

But I have a truck that I drive into dirt, intend to have a 2-car garage, so I do not care about the haters.

 

I have a low profile jack from when I had a ferd focus and a regular height jack which is still great for side by sides and my wife's SUV. But both my trucks are up there a ways so a taller jack would be useful. Moar jack less jenga!

Getting one can require waiting. In the past they did not have enough to keep one assembled on the floor and ones in the back stockroom. Online stock count may be wrong. Just go to the store, ask them to check the back room and be ready to buy if they have one.

 

Ah gotcha, I was looking at that one too. How do you like it?

 

I sold my super tiny Craftsman I had from when back when I had a Civic. I wanted a new jack and since now I have the Taco this fit the bill. I love the fact that it's aluminum and it's much lighter than the other 3 Ton jacks there. Got it during the Black Friday sale and I'm a happy camper!

 

I upgraded my side lights to Baja Designs S2 Sport flood lights using a custom magnetic mount I designed and printed with my Prusa MK3S 3D printer.



Way brighter than the Mictuning rock lights I was using before!

 

This thing is loaded with features! I'm loving it so far.

 

Nothing crazy, but got a black exhaust tip from the future brother in law for Christmas. Finally got it put on. First real mod on my Tacoma!

 

That's cool. Been looking at the mirror mounted Baja diy thread. Wondering if I should attempt to cut up the mirror

 

I like hoppy beers.
but nowadays I try for a good lager because I’m a lightweight and the alcohol percentage on beer is sneaky.
I’m pretty sure Firestone, barrel ages a bunch of it’s beer in oak.

 

These side lights are mounted at 90°. The Mirror DIY is more like 35°. I put Baja Designs S1's at 45° up by the bumper. I didn't want light across the top of my hood.

 

can they be reconditioned?

 

You can change the angle of the mirror lights using the folding feature forward or back. Another reason I installed them over hood lights. Those bumper lights should work well. Real descent light output for such small lights..

 

Finally went and installed a chalk bag from REI to hold my 40oz. RTIC tumbler.

so thats an upgrade from oem

 

Definitely. I guess it depends on how often you’re off-road and how hard you push your limits.

 

Replaced the third brake light on my ARE shell. Original started leaking and was full of condensation, had also gotten dull looking.

 

Did a couple utility mods in installing mud flaps and the Z Precision cup holder. Flaps do a good job of keeping the snow and slush off the predator steps.

Z Precision holder is well made and finally allows for a home for the larger bottles. I like that it tilts slightly away from the button panel as well, allowing full access.
