What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks to @TXsandyTaco for the link to the heritage shift knob. Very well made and adds a pop of color to the blacked out interior.

 

DUDE - I am ecstatic to discover that I can purchase this cubby. I think I want to add a second on the drivers side. I have discovered that there is room between the metal fender and the inner fiberglass for either a 10L Scepter jerry can or a 10lb LP tank on the drivers side. I'm not sure exactly how its going to work yet, but having the cubby available may be key to making what I have in mind work. THANKS!

 

Very contradictory

Looks good though.

 

That’s how I roll

 

paintless dent repair?

 

Damn deer. One attacked my 4Runner; went straight into the headlight and then swung around crunching the driver's door and emptying its bowels all down the side. I was pissed when I picked it up from the body shop a month and many repairs later and one of the plastic side panels was sitting in the backseat still covered in deer shit.

 

That’s cool but if it ever starts to bother you there is always the Paintless dent removal option and I’m telling you every time I needed them it disappears it’s really amazing and very reasonable cost wise .

 

Oh man looks nice I like it !!
Does it just screw on ? Can you forward me a link ?

 

Here you go! Got it off Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1230078673/old-style-toyota-automatic-shift-knob
It does screw on but the shift boot doesn’t clip in like the stock one. It works/looks fine just not quite as tight. Comes with a black cover for the chrome piece on the boot.
eBay also has some for sale (search heritage shift knob Tacoma) but can’t speak to the quality or how they attach.

 

Grats!
It’s a beauty!

 

Tbe fact I am in this forum means I am VERY lost.

 

Yea I’ve gotten that suggestion a lot, I’ll definitely look into it

For sure thanks!!

 

Got my Blackstone report back. I do 7500 mile changes and finally got around to getting the analysis done. Good to go 10K! For reference I have 66K miles on the truck, use AMSOIL Signature Series 0W-20 100% Synthetic Motor Oil and their premium AMSOIL filter (EA15K02-EA). I know it's not a Friday so hope this doesn't start the typical "how long should I change my oil interval" debates....

 

Ha! I've been pricing OEM center console replacements all day!

 

Finished the bed lighting project and added a banana holder to my center console MOLLE.

 

Did my LAST messy oil change……….
Installed Fumoto valve (with drainage hose), for next time……….upgraded to aluminum Toyota OEM Oil cap…….
Got Motiv tool, and Motive oil filter drain tool………

interesting, that Toyota eliminated plastic oil cap and paper filter on 2022/2024 Lexuses……….my wife drives 2023/NX 350, that will be getting a Fumoto valve

 

Ha ha that was the scene I pictured!

 

Several of us were communicating about the longevity of the Sokie Tech Hood Struts recently. I had one go out last week. Passenger side lost its oil. Lasted over 3 1/2 years with me opening the hood regularly. If there was a standard average for how many times the hood is opened, believe I would be above average.

 

My 3rd gen sat on the driveway and have been sitting on the driveway since Friday last week.

 

Installed roof rack and hood deflector. I am actually not sure how much weight I can put on roof, i will probably put low clearance bags, like travel bags with clothes inside etc, nothing too big or heavy. Last time they took up much space in bed, and had not much weight, just space eaten up.
