    Been quite awhile since my last update. Here we go! Last year didn’t yield much as way of things being done. Updated the fogs to Amber/Yellow LED’s. Mainly for winter, which we really didn’t have last year or this year really. Updated the grille. My stock one was chipping fake chrome, so I...

    How’s everyone holdin' up? T3G's therapeutic mental health and general chat thread.

    Talk about a long hiatus. Sorry for not being present! Everything with the transplant has went great! I'm almost at my year mark. Here's a recap of the last several months. Since July 3, 2023 I made it to actual home around mid July. Spent a lot of time driving back and forth to KC from...

    How’s everyone holdin' up? T3G's therapeutic mental health and general chat thread.

    Long time no talk peeps. Those following my story, I had been listed for a kidney/pancreas transplant. Last Saturday in June I got the call. Wife and I headed up to KU in KC. Surgery went great, Dr said it went textbook. Recovery has been terrible, I’m very sore. Yesterday got released to...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    I figured it out last night. Checked some bed bolts and all where torqued. It was difficult to assess where the noise was coming from by my self. Turns out the squeak is from where my leafs bolt to the axle. My middle leaf specifically, which it thought was strange. So I double checked...

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    Now that you mention it, I do notice quite a bit of bed flex. I'll start with a re-torque of the bed bolts. Guess I'll go searching today to find torque specs for that stuff.

    What have you done to, or with, your Tacoma today?

    I have got to figure out this rear end squeak. It's about to drive me crazy. Had it on the lift last week for an oil change and inspected everything. Sounds like it coming from the rear shock area. It started about 3 months ago, I've been lifted since Mar 2022. Not sure if something worked...

    How’s everyone holdin' up? T3G's therapeutic mental health and general chat thread.

    I feel that last statement some days. I think we all deal with stress a different way than most. I tend to bottle things up, then let go of them over time. My wife usually wants to start a confrontation right away and see a resolution. I'm not wired that way, I need time to understand the...

    WVYTACO Build Thread

    That's awesome!! Flying is so much fun. Last aircraft I flew in was a OH-58 (Bell 206 in civ world), and rode in a UH-1 Huey from SW Mo to Arizona. Such good memories! I was also a AH-64 mechanic, and I work at a facility where we rebuild UH-60 & CH-47's.

    Tonneau Cover that actually fits?

    I have a Tyger one from Amazon. Fits great for me, although it is a soft roll up.

    3rd gen Tacoma Turbo testing (video)

    Has anyone seen the video of the guy who swapped a 3.6TT from a Caddy V Sport? That looks super fun, and might be cheaper? Edit for video link: Source: https://youtu.be/hon0w5MsXJg
