What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Where did you buy those cool Battery terminals?

 

I replaced 2 of them…one that fell off and one the dealership damaged and tried to put it back on…but I noticed after inspecting my truck post service—they replaced it at no cost to me.

Cost was $62 at dealership but I found one online for $45.

 

I reinstalled the bolts with some anti-seize on them. Then sprayed woolwax since I am in an area that uses salt on the road during the winter.

 

Thank you! I have a Dobinsons ~2.5 - 3” lift and the tires are 285/75/17 (~34”).

 

I thought the same exact thing until I found out the step bolts I had bottomed out in the hole just fine. I been through a handful of different steps and took them all off. I still have the plastic OG screws but they wear out after too many in and outs so I just put the stainless step screws back in and snug them. Someday I’ll get sliders or make em

 

I have to say... I hate that Chrome Grill. Hate the Chrome Badges. Currently slowly De-Chroming mine.
BUT! You did a really good job of wheel choice that pulls the whole chrome aesthetic together very well. Can't believe I'm saying it, but it actually looks bespoke, intentional, and well put together. One of the few examples of chrome on a Taco that plays well. Just an outstanding job. And unique from all of us who have blacked out most of the chrome. 10 out of 10

Changed the cabin filter with a carquest one from Advance Auto. No pics as it took no exaggeration, 15 seconds in the parking lot before I even left.

After 16k miles it was time. I was surprised (maybe I shouldn't be) at the amount of crap on it, and I'm almost all city, no rural/trails/etc. It's too easy to not do every few oil changes.

Yeah that’s a nice easy one to do at home. Or in the parking lot lol

The shop I take my truck too for maintenance encourages people to do the cabin air filter on their own to save money haha

 

That is the main reason I bought the Pro grill, to get rid of the chrome and I also like that is spells out Toyota....

 

Did you have to trim back your stock lugs at all for the 1 inch BORA spacers?
I'm thinking of swapping my 1.25 Spidertrax for some 1inch BORA.

I need spacers to clear my stock wheels on some beefed up spindles and I want to keep the wheel offset as positive as possible.

 

I believe the stock wheels have pockets on the back that the lugs can fit into even if they stick out a little.

Hey thanks Greg!! I really appreciate that. I’d include a Shaka emoji if this computer allowed me to lol

 

Started off life as a C4 Rock Runner tube sides, I modified everything except for the center section, added the bull bar, reworked and lengthened the side wings. Not perfect but not too bad for doing it myself in my garage I think.

From them:


Final design:

 

Incredible change. The lengthened "wings" are everything! Nice work indeed.

 

Sorry I was out of town for work, but I do like the skinny look from the front/back. I went with the 235s mainly because there are a lot more options available than the 255s.

 

Nice! I love the Geolandar AT4’s. Definitely the best all around tire I’ve run on my Taco.

 

Made a rear seat delete platform that can easily removed so if I need my rear seat it takes less than 5 minutes to put it back in.

 

Ugh. I forgot all about this until today went in there to snap a pic, man I got some cleaning to do. I just added my ditch lights, and need to route the wire. I have my cigarette lighter in that blue sea, so it will charge stuff while the truck is off, I was using my fridge in there. I need to pull that wire, reconnect the cigarette lighter to stock. There’s a few projects in there. Sheesh.
Shits held together with zip ties, I don’t use duct tape.
