What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It was PLEASANTLY easy, especially for a non-mechanically inclined person like myself.
Biggest issue I had was punching and feeding the wiring into the grommet on the passenger side.
Everything really was easy-peasy if folks read the P&N thread and watch the videos posted.

 

All ive seen was the offset on the wheels widen the track by an inch and the pro sits 1 inch higher in the front compared to the OR.

 

Nope! It's also running a Wrightspeed turbine electric hybrid system. I hear it'll run on any flamiable liquid making about 1000 ft lbs a 1rpm. Should be about 60 miles per gallon too! I can't wait!

 

I swear, we should require people to post an *asterisk at the end of their trolling posts. You know some kid is going to google "Tacoma TRD Pro", this post will come up and somehow, someway, the Internet will pick it up as fact

 

That's what I did. I just Googled and reposted what I read about it here. Are you saying this is an un-truth-a-tude?
I did think it was strange when I looked at the pictures of it and noticed how it was using regular old tacoma UCAs, LCAs and that is was somehow wider. I just figured the Internet wouldn't lie to me and it's allot easier than thinking.
Am I still trolling? I don't even know anymore?

 

Looks good...But I think you are the second one to post pics of their lowered 3rd gen

 

Doh.....



<slinksoffintocorner>

 

Has anyone installed/brought to shop their own Amazon/ebay TPMS sensors? I'm going through the whole ordering new wheels/tires game and am fairly lost about what parts I need.

 

It rides 1" higher in front, due to the coilover setup. Rear leaf pack is also PRO exclusive, but no height change. Wider track is from the wheel offset.

 

Hahaha, hey, if you read it on the Internet, it's definitely true. I'm just waiting until people realize that the TRD pro is running fox internal bypass coilovers that can be had off the shelf for about $2k on the truck they just paid $50k out the door for. I guess it's a preference of whether you like to do it yourself or not?

 

Mounted rubber

 

Do you have any pic's of the entire truck? Are those 285/75/16's?

 

I'll post some more pics later. I'm actually out of town right now and my brother took my truck to get the wheels put on. This was the only pic he sent me.. And the tire size is actually 295/75/16

 

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what the heck do these do?

 

These as in the hydraulic bump stops or the rear omega bypass shocks?

 

hydraulic bumpstops, they keep the frame from going to low when you're landing from sweet jumps and such

 

Just saw what the bump stops were so just the rear omega bypass shocks

This is a whole new level of offroading haha

 

Wish my truck was lowered. It would be nice just to drop the tailgate and step up into the bed. I can do it with my stock Tacoma but it is getting harder for this 255 lb. old fat man. I have already cracked the black plastic in front of the license plate stepping up on it. I should get a 3 foot step ladder I guess.

 

I used San Diego Gear & Axle to do the work and I think the ring and pinion are from Nitro. They did run into a problem with carrier deck height so be on the look out for that.
