What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How many of each are needed ?

 

I noticed a big increase after 2400 miles as well. I use 89 octane though

 

this is what I used and it matched perfect


before and after I used this

SUMO SPRINGS at work less than 24 after putting them on. Thats about a 1000 pounds in the back of rail road ties, and about 500 of that is past the rear axle.



And NO! for gods sake, that is not my house, My father in law refuses to paint his house.

 

Nice , just ordered a set for my 15. How was the install, diy?

 

Very diy! The instructions that come with them are very simple and very easy. there is a video on there web site if video's explanes things better for you. I will ad, since I couldn't get my fat head in over the tire when putting the mounting plate in place on top of the leaf spring. I used a small mirror, like a camp mirror and a flash light to look down on top of the leaf spring to aline the plate perfectly over the axle before tightening them down.

 

I'll try that stuff then. Did u have to get a glossifier? How many coats?

 

I will also say that having an impact gun made it much easier to take the nuts off, just do it evenly, and don't use it to put them back on just to be more accurate.

 

Thanks Smugly, come on ups. I have a cap on the truck, plus gear. I hope this helps, springs are kinda flat.

 

I did not us glossifier. Just tire blackener. the before close up pic is not the best representation of the end product. the pics of the whole truck is what it really will look like when your dune.( there is no blackener on in the side pics of the truck, thats just after I got done)That is what it will look like dry, then ad blackener and DAM!. I put on 6 coats

 

Nice job! At least he rakes his yard......

 

That is no good but look how thin the paint is. I rubbed mine off with maguire's cleaner wax. Have not had time but heading to dealer to complain about the thin paint. Had 2 gen 2 tacomas and bumper cover paint was thicker. Another 3rd Gen tacoma flaw. Hoping they will repaint. Very disapointed. I have a post about it. Beware of the think sub part bumper paint.

 

It's still early spring hare, I don't think he's cut yet

 

I got a couple acres with well over 100 trees on em... I mow... I ain't raking shit.

I got a 20 year old doublewide in the woods. Just put a brand new roof on it but the front and back decks could use paint... I'll get to it when i get to it.

People are pretty judgmental around here. Compared to lots of you I'm super poor. I get a monthly military disability check, injured overseas in the army, got 2 kids under 10 years old and make due from one month to the next...

Despite my income i feel more successful and happy than most. I got a great wife, 2 beautiful children, awesome truck, great dog, i fish when i want to and I'm my own boss.

When your laying on your death bed the last thing you'll be thinking about is "oh no.. My yard wasn't raked and my house needs paint"

People need to get off their high horses. Nobody knows anyone else's situation and the judgmental crap will hurt someone's feelings. Not mine. I don't give a damn what others think but this is a truck forum... Not a forum for homes and yards. If yours is so nice and perfect be happy your in the position you are in. Help another that might can't help themselves or just keep quiet about it.

 

So can anyone tell me how the duplicolor compares to the plast dip brand ? (besides color) does one work better than the other
... getting ready to do my 2016 Tacoma emblems and chrome bumper corners and had decided i was getting Plasti Dip till i seen this post and now wondering which would be best

 

I doubt that there are any real differences between the two, probably just the names that are different

 

What was that all about?????

 

It wasnt meant to you, in fact i figured you'd understand as thats the reason you felt it necessary to say it wasnt your home.

The last few days/week it seems everyone is judging the backgrounds of the pictures and not the trucks in the pictures. Not just this thread either i have seen it elsewhere on this site. Its going to get to the point where people dont wanna take pictures because they'll be judged about everything EXCEPT the reason we are all here. THE TRUCKS. No reason a person shouldnt feel comfortable taking a picture next to their home when the truck is the focus point.

Why care if someone else's yard is not raked? Why care if someone else's house needs paint? Unless they are your exact neighbor and/or its depreciating the value of "your" the complainer's, home its really irrelevant to the purpose of this forum.

What if they are in a wheelchair? What if they cant stand for more than 20 minutes? What if their a single mom working 2 jobs just to feed their kids and dont have time to rake, mow, paint and keep the kids fed and clothed? Im just saying the judging is unnecessary when people dont know the whole story. And even if they are just a lazy POS, How does that effect anyone else viewing the forum?

Again its not directed at any one person. it just seems to be the mentality of lots of people these days to point out how they think "they" are better than another. Not so cool IMO.

But i digress. An argument could be made "Why should i care it happens."

 

New BFG KO2 265/75/R16
Discount Tire Store guy told me these tires are a half inch taller than my stock tires.
No lift, no rub and no spacers. Rides way better in my opinion, plus I already had 2 flat repairs on my "Kevlar" tires.

 

Well then, as educated adults, we should rise above it. People are always going to be people. It's what you do with the information that matters to each individual, whether you let it affect you or rise above it
