What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I am very interested, mine arrives Tuesday and I have a stock 2021 grill.

 

hell froze over with that song choice?!

 

That's an awesome spot for that. I have something similar on one of my Gold Wing saddlebags (just a US map though). Looking forward to watching you fill that in.

 

This is true, the scope hood had zero flex/vibration; the non-scoop hood does seem to act like a rubber made panel at times. I still am much happier with my non-scoop though.

 

Installed the Total Choas Bed Stiffeners.

 

Well it seems finding a decent reasonably priced older Tacoma or Tundra, with 100k or less miles, is a huge challenge. Canceled the sale of my 2016 until I find something worth buying. Foolish of me to sell this for $28k only to pay over $20k for an older used truck.

 

Definitely looks like a wimpy truck or a sedan but the beauty is what lies underneath

 

Here's a 2018 Hilux on fleabay

 

I do not envy your position.

But all this talk of inflated prices now is making me feel good even better about picking up my 2017 OR DCSB around x-mas with 48k miles for about $34k.

 

Looks like a Highlander, but it's the benchmark of all midsize pick ups.

 

What is the purpose of this?

 

Its a hitch skid plate. Cheap rear bumper/hitch receiver protection. Came in handy on Soldier Pass Road.

According to their website, this is the benefit of the hitch skid (without the recovery point):

“Sick of hooking up a trailer just to see the chain hooks are bent and damaged, making it a total pain to hook up? Well, we were too. The Patton skid is simple, but works exactly how its intended. Smooth and easy slides over rocks, logs, ledges, or the crazy kid who just rear ended you.”

This is the one with the recovery point, like in the pic:

Thanks! We're hoping to ship to Europe in June, so let the crayons commence!!

 

Prices are just stupid inflated. A good reference is that I sold my 2008 Prerunner double cab v6, with 60k miles, back in March 2016, for $16k. Now the best I can find is a similar truck with 100k miles for $20k. Tundra's are even worse. I think my 2016 with 25k miles just became my best value. At this rate, in 5 years when it hits 50k miles, I will still get $28k for it. I was naive thinking FJ Cruisers were the only overpriced used vehicles. If my 16 had the 4.0 engine and 5 speed automatic I would have never considered selling it in the first place.

 

Have no idea how that truck is allowed to be licensed in the US but good for them! I drool over the dirty diesel motor (only because there's basically no ULS diesel available in South America, Africa, or Asia)

 

Not just Tacomas. I sold my 04 F250 diesel in November because the used truck market prices were way above high bluebook. I sold my 16 y/o truck with 245K miles on it for $15K.

 

I've been thinking about slapping one in there!

 

Me to. Or one of those "scanner" lights light the one on "Kit" from Night Rider.
