What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ordered a catch can. I figure I would get this asap to help limit the known carbon build up with direct injected motors as much as possible. I will post a thread of the process as soon as I get it.

 

Star Wars!

 

Where did you find the mud flaps with the 4x4 already on them?

 

For vacation or living here? I think 8/10 trucks are tacomas. No joke

 

Thanks, yes that's the sizing. They fit great in my opinion. I think I only got around 2" of lift I cant remember off the top of my head.

 

Haha, I know just busting your chops. To be honest I originally wanted the Toytec 2.0's, then I talked myself into the Toytec 2.5's. I would be running those now except the back order wait time just ended up being too long, so I splashed out on the Kings, I don't regret it at all.

These are the newest KO2s yes. The sliders are RCI's with top plates. So far every component I've added with the exceptions of the wheels and tires has either been purchased using a group buy or sale code from TW. The tires were purchased through 4wheelparts who I found to be the cheapest after all their discounts and free shipping.

 

That looks to be about the amount of lift im looking for...which lift is it and how much overall lift did you get. Its a good looking truck but im not big on the reservoirs myself.

 

You will love the leveling kit!
I am running 285/75/16 tires.. I have noticed the rubbing on the upper control arm.. So I need to replace my stock wheels (I have been told 16x8 will fix this)

But before I do that I am going to have an alignment done because I haven't had that done after I installed the spacers.. hopefully that will fix it so I don't have to spend more right away.

 

The all-popular custom car grills mods. Cheap, easy, very happy with it!

 

Since I am eventually adding a shell I didn't want to buy a bedrack. I will run the Tepui on the roof for the summer and then when I get my shell it will ride over that, freeing up the cabrac for other gear on the roof.

 

I like the flaps, they look a lot shorter than the OEM ones. Did you get fronts? Are they from Toyota?

 

So... I went to install LED interior lights last night and must have blown a fuse. When I was inserting one of the vanity lights I saw a few tiny sparks and then all of the interior lights went out (map lights and dome light). I have looked through almost every fuse to see which one is blown and I can't find the fuse for the interior lights. Anyone know which fuse I need to replace?

 

Ive been looking into this as well. Makes so much more sense to me. I just need to figure out how to get a receiver mounted on the front. Seems like having the ability to winch on the front and back is much better than a sweet bumper on the front.

 

Those sliders a very nice, but damn pricey. Are the top plate functional, meaning are they a sort of step, or are they more for aesthetics?

 

Doing a little vacationing in Kaanapali, Maui. I love this state and the Tacoma's only add to the beautiful scenery

 

CBI offroad makes a nice looking highpoint front hitch. Hitch witching isn't the best but I won't be winching up waterfalls. This woukd be perfect for pulling myself out of snow banks lol. This saves a allot of weight and aerodynamics. I'd like to see one on a tacoma before I spend the money on it

 

Went on a road trip last weekend, truck behaved well on the highway.

I get home and go to wash off the road trip dirt and grime and get to realizing that it's not dirt at all, but paving tar (I went through a fair bit of road construction). The entire sides and tailgate were completely coated. No amount of pressure washing and soapy water would remove it. So naturally, I took to the internet for answers. I was a little hesitant to do this on brand new paint at first, but it seems to have worked wonders...

 

I always use Bug and Tar remove and it has worked every time.

 

What did you use for the ambers? That is the route I am looking to go.

 

I blew a fuse too during the install. It's located under the steering wheel. I believe it was a number 7 fuse.
