What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The manual says at 5k and every 5k for when you've had heavier duty driving, like towing a lot. 10k otherwise. Toyota care definitely will only do it every 10k unless you request to do it at 5k. Either way, Toyota care is priced out to account for every 10k so that 25k tc that comes with Tacomas only includes 2 oil changes, regardless of if you want them every 5k. You'll be paying for the 3rd one at 15k if you use the 2 free ones at 5 and 10k miles.

 

Yep! The creek part they own is Terlingua Creek.
The landscape shot with the mountain....they own that mountain. Pretty cool.

Good idea! I bought one of these that I keep mine in right behind my drivers seat. Looks like it was made for it.

 

How did you mount that bar to your OEM roof rack?

 

I used the included 3m double sided tape, and added a couple zip ties as well. I do plan on getting some self taping screws to add in just for a little added long term security; but really, I think even with just the tape they're not going anywhere.

 

they handle amazing and tire wear is good!

 

That’s why I have my steps as well. Otherwise, my mom and grandma wouldn’t be able to ride in my truck. Maybe with a footstool.

 

yea. that bag will cut down any rattling noise vs the ammo can too.

I just happen to have extras and thought i could dump it in the bed if needed and not worry about getting moisture.

 

Rob are you going to do a review on the 88p? Ive been going back and forth between the 88p and 300p for airing up. I know there is about a $80-$90 difference.

 

Yes I definitely will. I wanted to combo test it with the

$200 NOCO GB70 : 2000A UltraSafe Jump Starter – 12V Lithium Battery Booster Pack, Portable Jump Box, Power Bank & Jumper Cables - for 8.0L Gas and 6.0L Diesel Engines

NOCO GB70 car starter and see how they both work.

I thought about airing down and doing a time test to air back up for the video.

300p looks solid but almost triple the price.

 

Most recent pic of my Lunds, I think they are the 5". I put them on in my driveway with just a socket set. I think it took less than 30 mins total.

 

Lund knock-offs (I think they're made in the same factory) in chrome:

 

Nice! The time test would be awesome.

 

I know a guy!

 

I just modified the brackets that came with the led bar (bend them the opposite way to fit there) , two holes on each side with bolt + nut & washer and sealant ,very easy installation ,I didn't even have to removed the roof rack to install it there and the wiring same way, I made a hole on the roof rack inner side and put the wire through that hole and run the wire between the windshield and the windshield post with a plastic scrapper, no drilling on any metal or roof part.

 

Celebrated my 2 year anniversary of owning the blue. Had the 24 month and final Toyota care service done, detailed inside an out, after a thousand mile trip up to Marin County. Tried out some stuff you apply wet while your washing, you can apply it to anything, glass, plastic, rubber, paint. Seems to put a nice deep shine on.
It’s been a Love/Hate relationship with the truck. I have one of the early builds out of the Baja plant. So gone through most if not all TSBs, safety recalls, leaking third brake light, low fluids, dry zerks, incorrect torques. But I still remain true to Toyota after some comps from corporate to make up from my aggravation. Now that the truck is broken in it’s been operating like a champ. Even getting 21mpg on the highway with bigger E rated tires, lift, cap, armored up undercarriage. So no regrets, love the truck.

 

How easy is that stuff to use!!!

 

Do you even Baja Bro?

 

Daaaaamn!!!

 

Very. Your get a flat sponge thing with it. Squirt some on the sponge, wipe it on the clean wet truck, rinse it, dry, done.
