What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

LMMFAO!

 

There's a route into the park. It starts with what I did last week going up the switchbacks. It's a tangle of FS roads, so I haven't mapped out the way into the park yet... This is all on the west side.

There is no route thru the park to the east side.

 

I checked my driveline U-Joint grease zerks and the transmission fluid on my TRD Sport MT that I picked up on Tuesday. One of the Zerks still had factory paint on it and was dry. The rest had a a splash of grease on them. The transmission was 1/2 qt low. I dropped by the dealer and they topped off all of the grease zerks and the MT fluid in 5 minutes and sent me off. So the MT brethren, check your u-joints.

Below is a photo of one of completely dry grease zerk. The dealer hadn't heard of this. He was surprised that it they were that dry. Sorry for the bad photo, I was in a less than favorable position in my garage.

 

Picked up some steel for a few projects. Rock sliders and a rail mount bike rack for Trudy the Taco. Also doing sliders and a hidden winch bracket for my buddy's GX470.

 

Nope, Was able to get them installed by working behind the headlights. It Took about 20 mins.

I don't think they are on the website yet. I just called them, Ask for Bailey

 

Can you take a closeup or two? I'm looking to do the same but they look off-center

 

Are they too bright to run behind other vehicles?

 

Will this also effect the speedo and odo? I'd like to think my poor gas mileage is due to a calibration issue base on larger wheels and tires.

 

They are street friendly. But I wouldn't want to have them pointed up at driver height, unless it's for Offroad only, they can throw some light. Mine are aimed near the front of my tuck and they are totally fine.

 

It doesn't fix the speedo or odo. You need to calculate by hand. My computer read about 1mpg less than I'm actually getting after I put my bigger tires on.

 

Nice set up! Do you have a link for the switches and switch holder? Thanks!

Are these strong enough to use as a high lift point?

 

Do you mean like jacking the truck up? No sidestep is strong enough to be jacked up off of

 

Wait what?!? How does that come off??

 

I believe it's just vinyl... Like a sticker/decal... Peel it off... ?

I haven't removed mine... I do think it looks better removed in the pictures but i just havent had the urge to remove it, or the pin stripe. YET.

 

Mine doesn't have the pinstripe but I didn't know the pillars were even an option. That's why I like this place - there's no way in hell I would have started pulling on mine just to see what was underneath it lol. But, now that I know...

 

Noooooooo, don't take those off. You will void the warranty!!!

 

It's cool, I already did that when I swapped out floor mats. I might as well go for it now.

 

Loaded stuff in it for a trip to Clearwater. About 4hr ride. Love this truck so far. Gas milage needs a little working on but it's a truck, not my old Camry
