What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I was in Walmart the other day with a tape measure , in the toy aisle , sizing up wheels to do the exact same thing . I ended getting a red ring from AJT , it should help my eyes better

 

Neat idea.

Looks cool

 

That is awesome. You have a link for that part?

 

Part # or link?

 

Fumoto valve helps reduce splash.

 

You have to select the black trim option. I got cheapest trim option they had as I was unsure about how it would actually work or look. Had it installed for 2 days now and honestly it’s grown on me and went from looking obnoxiously big to something I love as I learn to use different features.

Where did you get the TRD 4X4 OFF ROAD in black lettering?

 

Extended the rear diff vent today, up into the rear tail light housing

 

Ebay and it was less than $20 for the pair.

 

Very cool, thanks for the link!

 

Craving breakfast taquitos while watching the game at the drive thru.

 

I use Fluid Film but it's not friendly on rubber/flexible parts. (CV's, brake lines, etc) How is the stuff you used on those parts?

 

They say it only bonds to metal, and everywhere else it will just wash off. It did not smell like too many solvents that would eat up soft bits like that, smelled more like honey with some diesel mixed in. Lots of Radio Controlled hobbyists (folks who race RC boats and drones for fun) drench their whole machines in it. I read that state fish and wildlife agencies soak their boat radios, GPS antennas, in it for waterproofing/rust prevention. saltwater boaters remove their engine cowl and spray everything underneath (equivalent of spraying the whole engine bay for outboard boat motors). Corrosion-X promotional videos show them treating the whole engine bay in a compact car. Lots of YouTubers spraying down raw circuit boards with it then operating their equipment underwater (to demonstrate that it waterproofs electronics without interference). So I'm hoping it doesn't eat up rubber, plastic and soft parts for those folks.

But I'll definitely keep an eye out and share any problems I notice.

 

For pet sake your in a Tacoma, you should be craving Taco's.

 

Hmmmm diesel and honey.

 

More mail, if this keeps up I won't have anything to open Christmas morning.

 

At least you have mail. Nothing moving now for mail North of the border.

 

It actually doesn’t harm those materials (they are oil resistant rubber). It will however destroy non-oil resistant rubber like door trim and seals.

 

From https://www.corrosionx.com.sg/resources/materials-compatibility/
"Rubber: No visible effect on Buna-N, Viton, or Neoprene products (such as gaskets, O-rings, or seals) but slight swelling and/or softening of butyl rubber items."

It is great stuff. They fog whole planes with it so it is rather safe for most materials.

 

Ordered a banks pedal monster and a Yakima hitch bike rack on incredible BF sales!
