What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No trimming needed. No rubbing either.

 

I kept the stock uca's on.

 

Looks good. Are those factory TRD wheels (17x7) or FN Pro wheels? How long have you had the lift on? Has it had a chance to settle in yet? What is your mpg city/hwy?

 

They are factory trd wheels. Ive had the lift on for about a month now. No changes in measurements from the center of the hub to fender. Im averaging about 16.5-17mpg.

 

sorry, also, why did you go 885 and a half inch spacer and not 887 and no spacer? Same spring rate and ride, right? You might have lost .25 inch.

 

how's the ride vs stock?

 

Wow! OK so no problem with alignment? I am in between a lift similar to yours or bilstiens set at .85 I want a good ride, with out having to do all the extra stuff like uca's and such.

 

I just assumed the ride would be a lot stiffer with 887's and it wasnt available from where i purchased the lift kit. Overall, im happy with the lift as it sits level. Got a 3" lift in front and 2" in the rear.

 

Alignment turned out fine. Good luck with the lift.

 

A little stiffer but still good.

 

After speaking with King this morning, I decided to cancel my order on the kings and go with the extended travel version of the same shocks: 25001-119E and 25001-121E. If anyone is wondering, the extended travel versions designated with "E" at the end of the item number are 1/4" longer than the non-"E" version. They are not in the King catalog and are considered a custom shock, but they are regularly produced and sold. Per King, aftermarket UCA is required to run these shocks in the front.

 

Wo

Where did you get that light kit from?

 

You can still access the rails. It uses the rails to secure it but you can still put the rings back on or other accessories.

 

So this isn't Manly McTruckerson type business but I found this when I had the seats folded down (which is how I have them most of the time).
It's pretty nice to not have apples rolling around in your back seat. Don't know if that is what was intended for but its a great feature.

 

groceries go in the bed...

 

Those bags are illegal in Austin. Plastic is evil, according to our city council.

 

Are you able to purchase them for a fee from stores? That's how most of the places around here are. You can't have a bag unless you pay a tax for it...

strangely, no city with a Walmart has a plastic bag ban

 

Well damn, I'm just doing it all wrong. No tax and no one is trying to arrest me for illegal activity. At Publix they just ask if plastic is ok and you say yes. I keep these things under my sink and use them all the time.

 

I was carrying a plastic bag while walking on the sidewalk and a cop stopped me and almost shot me the other day

 

Painted my front grill and side tacoma emblem Satin Black and finished my rear Vinyl piece.
