What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have a Jeep and my Taco, but I always drive my Taco.

 

Once every 6-10K miles...

"Cleaner" just doesn't register

I guess one needs to be there to appreciate the calamity.

 

That trailer is bad ass. My red arc seemed a little vampy. Meaning. I think it had a draw.

 

4 oil changes in and when I drive it I throw it in and out of 4 high for 5-10 miles at a time to keep things lubricated.

 

Highly recommend this cnc bracket, but you've already installed the redarc so

Try to find that magic line in the parking lot where all of the employees are required to park. Find a corner spot and you’ll know those other cars won’t be moving for awhile. If you frequent the same places you will recognize the same vehicles in the lots.

 

Added fall decorations, maybe a snide early…

zip tied to the ditch lights and I was trying to keep them from touching the paint.

 

If you ask for pictures from TW members you can make tiny hoods for "Turkey Day" celebrations ...

 

I did the A/C Drain mod this weekend, was easy and there's no more dripping on the frame.

 

Bought a set of Up Down Air adjustable preset tire deflators

$30 Overland Vehicle Systems 4 Piece Adjustable Tire Deflator Kit & Storage Bag - (PSI 10-30 Lbs.)

P/N 97-9903 and tested them on my truck. It's similar to

$100 J.T. Brooks Automatic Tire Deflators Pro (ATDP4)

JT Brooks Pro deflators but at a fraction of the cost - working principle is like the popular brass Staun deflators but has numbers printed on the threaded body. Mfr's page with instruction sheet: https://overlandvehiclesystems.com/tire-deflator



Accuracy test vs. 0-60 psi analog dial tire gauge:



Slow deflation speed is a drawback. Comparison with Teraflex deflators, 35 to 17 psi on a 35x10.5R17 tire, shows it takes twice as long to deflate as Teraflex. However, you don't have to watch the tires and check pressure while they deflate.

 

Pricey $400 but you can feel the difference. Smoother shifts. Snappier bottom end

 

You got it. The black toolbox looks better with the black rack. Nice work.

 

Yes, did use that bracket. Made the install easy.

 

Looks great! Just curious, why valvomax instead of the fumoto valve? Just asking because I've owned a few fumoto valves in the past and am considering getting one for the Tacoma.

 

I have a fumoto on mine, drain time takes a bit longer than just pulling drain plug, but no spills or mess

 

I have the

$38 F133N with LC-10 F-Series Large Body Fumoto Valve with Long Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for M12-1.25, Gold

F133N with

$9 LC-10 Accessory, 1 Pack

LC-10 F-Series Large Body Fumoto Valve which drains a little quicker than the OG Fumoto valve and makes it easier for me with the TRD skid plate.

 

thanks, I lucked out and found the toolbox in a local shop. It had been sitting for a while so I got a sweet deal. The badge on it is even blue

Have you ever gone through a car wash with that rack? I wonder if it's up too high or not. I usually hand wash my truck, but sometimes in winter I go through.

 

I go through the car wash with mine and no problems.

 

Installed the spotter mirrors!

 

I have a skid plate so the hose going through the hole will make less of a mess.
