What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

what are you towing?

 

be gentle please

 

Those are probably good enough to tow your truck behind your RV. Only one way to find out!

 

I prefer to dig for emeralds when people stare. Why not give them something to look at.

 

Hopefully never have to deal with this again. Used

$15 3m 08008 , 5 fl oz, 1 Per Pack

3m 08008, a healthy zigzag in 4 spots along the channel. We'll see how it's cured up tomorrow.

 

^^^ Was it leaking or banging around or what ??

 

Over the summer it popped out on the highway and SMACKED the cab so hard and scared the shit out of me. I had cleaned it all up and secured the rear end with 3m tape but the middle was still popping up and refused to stay in place.

 

Replaced the stock wheels and tires with Motegi MR150, 0 Offset Trailites and Falken Wildpeak A/T4W's

 

Extremely quiet = me likey!

 

Rrr

You are confusing "Nokian" from Finland with "Nankang" from Taiwan. It is the latter company that makes Milestar tires. They have opened a US plant not long ago.

 

I wasn’t a fan of the OEM “graphite” color of my grill because I didn’t think it went well on an all white/black truck and I didn’t want to join the trd pro grille club so I found a matte black OEM style one on eBay for $75 and then picked up a matte black decal for the TSS sensor cover, the TSS still works just fine.

 

Sorry but since Bridgestone is currently the largest minority shareholder of Nokian, I'm sure that had something to do with Nokian making some tires in my home state and only about 168ish miles from the new plant in TN..

But you are correct that Milestar tires are made by the Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation.
So both company's have at least one plant in the US...


Dayton Tennessee, United States factory
[edit]
In May 2017, Nokian announced the construction of a new factory in Dayton, Tennessee, with an annual production capacity of 4 million tyres. The facility would employ about 400 people, cost €330 million to build, and expected to start production by 2020.[84][82] In addition to producing tires, the facility would house an on-site distribution facility with a storage capacity of 600,000 units. The company expects to double its North American sales by 2023.[85] Nokian began hiring workers for the plant in February 2019, and sent its first group of employees for training to its Finnish and Russian factories in May 2019. The Dayton plant officially opened on 2 October 2019. The company plans to have up to 150 employees by the end of the year.[85][86][87]

Largest minority shareholder!

 

Why do you think this all started??

 

No more beeps and dings from the truck. Now it can't nag me about stuff lol. So much noise from a small speaker. A video I watched showed philips heads holding the gauge cluster together. Mine had torx/star screws.

 

A fine mod, that beep annoys the bejeesus out of me too.

I wonder if a piece of duct tape over that sound hole would make the tone more palatable?

 

With a little help from Mother I hand rubbed it down today, after a good hand washing yesterday. Looks clean again. Feels like a fresh wax no stubble


What the heck got on this plastic to corrode it so bad? WTH


Zoomed in...



Is it difficult to remove this piece?
