What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

At about 41 seconds... guess we now know a stock offroad rear suspension can support a semi trailer

 

Both great movies and excellent reads!
They hit me the same way.
Have a nice evening!

 

Best first mod ever, then radio knobs!

 

love this idea. I have actually been wanting a custom painted one. I'm going to look into this for sure. It is a little pricey though.

 

What size are those tires? they look nice.

 

Had a dude tell me “Nice truck.” at the gas station. That’s about it today.

 

Couple of questions. There is no (none) v/6 or 4x4 decals or anything on my tailgate, is this normal ? Also does everybody's V/6 down shift a lot on just normal overpasses ? Granted It is when I am running around 80 but my old 2009 didn't lose momentum like that. Just curious if that is normal. I haven't changed tire size. (Yet)

 

Got my KTJO door bowl lights installed in the rear of the truck. I only had the front two doors and saw a fellow TW member had a full set for sale. So I snagged them up and now all four doors are complete. Even have two left from the set I bought to save as spares.

 

There’s usually just the V6 emblems on the OR tailgates. Looks like you have it from your profile picture.

No downshifting issues on my ‘18.

 

My OR only has a black V6 badge on my tailgate. It only downshifts when I want it to.

 

I have experienced the same automatic downshifting when approaching an overpass if I have cruise control on. What I do it take it off of cruise and gently press on the accelerator to closely maintain the highway speed in was at. Then as I am going down the other side I re-engage the cruise control. On a similar note, I travel this same road with my 2017 Forte5 SX with a 7 speed auto transmission and it does not downshift or loose highway speed. I think the Tacoma just pushes a lot more air which causes it to downshift.

 

My 2018 OR came with the V6 on the tailgate. I know a lot of folks think it’s unsymmetrical with just the V6 emblem so they either de-badge or add the 4x4. Regarding the downshifting no issues for me around 80+ mph

 

Mine too. Why are people downshifting then complaining that the truck is downshifting????

Oh yea, I forget that some of these trucks try to shift themselves.

 

Did your 09 have a 6spd?

as far as badges, idk what’s up with 2021s. There usually would be a v6 badge on the tailgate. No 4x4 because you should have bedside decals

 

Only counts when a girl says it.

 

Got a shirt that matches the truck. Haha.

 

To quote Charlie Brown: good grief.

Bet that Taco owner needed some clean draws after all that wad said and done.

 

Maybe when I get a lift and tires that’ll happen. I’ll take what I can get.

 

First, easy mods for my 2021

-Removed V6 emblems
-Blacked out tailgate and side emblems

looks a lot better!

Pending wheels, tires, lift and skid plate kit.
