What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Check on eBay. I saw one sold by RAD Industries a couple of days ago, same price $400 shipped to your door.

 

ARE Cap, Thule everything that would fit, 3inch lift, 31.5's BFG AT KO's, Took off front lower valance, waiting for Borla to make an exhaust and ARB to make a snorkel. Any one recommend a bull bar or winch mountable bumper?

 

Installed RedLine Elite hood struts today, nice addition and quick install! Fixing the things Toyota forgot about in terms of overall usability :-D

 

Me Too. Easy Peasy.

 

I like those. Forgot all about them I had them on my 2005 taco.

How is your fuel consumption with all the roof racks and the giant cargo box strapped on the cap?

 

looking at stainless custom grills, and running boards,for now.

 

The day I picked it up, I asked to speak directly to the service manager and told him I was concerned about it due to all the traffic I've been hearing. I also let him know that I was familiar with the correct (at temp) fill procedure. He was happy to check it for me. They added 1qt and got it to proper temp to save time. He said that they only drained out a very small bit of fluid, indicating it was slightly less than 1qt low. I got underneath and noticed that the fluid check plug had been opened (I could see a bit of fluid on the mating surface).

 

So this is what I've done to my Tacoma today



It's ok for grown man to cry, right?

Anyone know what the going rate for a new bumper will be?

 

Not sure but you need to figure out exactly how many parts you need. That bumper has several parts that are probably still ok. I would go to a dealer and look at the schematic and go from there. I got nailed in my 08 by a kid with 2 day old drivers license. That chrome steel bumper polished out with only a minor dent. Totaled his car. I hate all the plastic on the new ones. Sorry it happened to you. Looks like you were lucky on the tailgate and quarter panel. You could check the TW market place for a bumper too.

 

Looks like its time for an upgrade

Good excuess for an upgrade.

 

No backup sensors?

 

My thoughts exactly.

i kinda like this one more

That would be a tough choice, but I think when/if I need/want to replace mine it will be the pelfrey... But It wouldn't be an easy choice

 

No backup sensors

I was surprised when i picked up the pieces that the bumper is made of almost entirely plastic. barely got tapped and it fail apart

 

That being said I like the looks of both...buy one so I can live vicariously through you

 

Installed these bad boys last night! Super bright, glad I didn't go with the more powerful ones.

 

Link to these? I'm interested.
