What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Can't remember how my truck measured up when it was new. But my lift guy said he did a lot of adjusting when he put on my Toytec lift. He said my truck was out of whack for sure. Pretty level on all 4 corners now.

 

Some people have claimed the "taco lean" but I haven't noticed it that much at all on my 3rd gen. Try measuring from the center of the hub just in case your tires are not equally inflated or wear is different.

Measure when you're running on fumes... Gas tank is on the left and has contributed to many "left lean" concerns.

 

Do they make any that are bolt on? In case I wanna put my stock back on one day

 

Took care of some pinstriping with my first polish and wax. I'm thinking of turning it into a drinking game next time based on how many people walk by and say "mine next!" before I get it done. Having a truck would definitely be playing in hard mode.

 

Had the guy who put on my ToyTec lift say that the amount of "lean" depends on how much gas is in the tank since tank is on left side.

 

Installed oem mud flaps today,
Hopefully it will save me from throwing a rock into someone's windshield. I have been a victim of this and it sux.

And to hopefully help save me paint. Arrrrge.

 

For those changing out the center console lights to LEDs, the console truly just needs to be pried downward. Don't be timid. There are four tabs (see image - they are red in the photo) that you must pull strongly enough to dislodge from their receptacles - just like in most car doors. From there, you can just remove each light nodule and replace the bulbs. Snaps right back in and is none the worse for wear.

Below are images: The first is the console ceiling receptacle - that's where I pulled the console from. The second shows one of the light nodules (twist and remove). The other image tries to show the four red tabs.

Edit: Sorry, I cannot get the images to load, even though they are in my image library.

 

I like those tires!

 

Please don't show that to any thieves. Kidding, I know that if someone wants to steal something bad enough they will. But hopefully they will be slowed down enough for me to get my 90 lb. four legged, fast as hell, set of gnashing teeth after them.

 

It's longer than 60 with the base and the top piece. 48 would be fine, my sliders are at knee height and my truck is lifted and on 33's and sliders are angles up

 

Thanks bro,
I will say the mud flaps are just not quite wide enough for those 285's lol

 

Got my utility package 4x4 tinted (40% Llumar front/back/rear). Just a very slight tint to take the sun's edge off but preserves nearly all vision at night, and zero issues from local police.

 

Would you please give us a link to the yellow LEDs

 

I also live in the Seattle Area - Where did you get all of this done at and roughly how much for the tires/wheels, all around lift, steps, and mat? Loving all of this.

 

Damn idiots. We need to report these dealers to Toyota

Yes. The center hub measurement is the most accurate. 3 things to consider:
1) Front end is heavier
2) Front wheel fenders are cut higher than rear.
3) Back sits 1/2" to 1" higher than front.
The level kit I used needed 2" block in rear to get the level look!

 

Thank you for the responses, the tank is just below a 1/4 tank. The lean is side to side. If it were a full tank it would make sense.

 

do you plan on painting the front bumper?

 

9 sheets did all the doors, roof and floor? Damn how big are these sheets? Thats a pretty good price!
