What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just did mine. 70k miles on stock brakes. Damn things looked like they had 70% life left!. Put the new pads and rotors on anyway. Started to flush the brake fluid. Filled 3/4 of a 16oz bottle. Fluid looked identical to new. Just stopped there and called it a day.

 

I took it to the dealer to get a side mirror replaced, they did their curtesy inspection. Told me my brakes were at #3. I asked what that meant and he showed me a pad that was on his desk that was pretty worn. So, I either fell for his bullshit, or, I need new brakes. My brother (who owns a repair shop) told me I may as well change them. I do have some pulsating when using the brakes on a downhill run. I will post the results.

 

I'm gonna do mine this weekend too (maybe).

 

I strangely got this trip report after 27 miles est. First time seeing this…

WTF?!

 

Do you possibly know which exact lugs to buy for a steel wheel?

I have a Rough Country steelie for my spare 285/70R17 tire.

Thanks!

 

This picture shows the difference ... upper for steelies because mags have flat "rims" and need the lower lugs.

 

Thank you, I will get a set for my spare!

 

Do you happen to have the pn for the pcv valve? You get it from Toyota? Oem?

 

Amazon, compared the 2 and they had the same markings.

Was there a reason to change the PVC or just preventative maintenance? I have 150000 kms on my 2017 TRD OR.

 

I'm installing a supercharger and it was right next to the last plug on the driver side. Cheap part while I'm in there. It did not need changing so I'll throw it in my ultrasonic cleaner and install it the next time I do my plugs

 

From what I remember, there is a concern by some that this can plug up prematurely and cause internal pressure to build up leading to front timing chain cover leak. Don't know if this is true or not but I will probably do the same at 120K kms when I have the plugs changed for peace of mind.

 

This is the one I purchased and am very happy with. Much more compact than the one sold direct from Softopper and have been very happy with it.

Only one is needed for this purpose.

 

How are the seals around the edges of the tailgate/bed? I would imagine there are a lot of holes that are hard to close up.

 

You’ll get used to RB look. It’ll “disappear.” I like mine due to its purpose. Maybe adjust it more to the inside…

 

I put this kit on at 800 miles because I found the stock pads inadequate. at 11k miles now. No ragerts.

 

Removed 12v socket and added a USB-C port.

 

How. This makes so much more sense. Link please

 

This looks great and fits the look IMO. I had to open the hole just a little bit to get it to fit.
