What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

Did you put in it?

And be sure to drink plenty of

And always



Looks awesome man!!!!

 

Not the best picture but it will do for now lol

 

For us old men, the Toyota

$235 Toyota BedStep®

bedstep is very handy...but really way too expensive...until you compare to copays and a trip to the Urgent care...

 

YOU'RE RUNNING VOLKS?! How freaking badass haha

 

Installed an OEM tonneau cover and did a little write & posted on TW.

Nice write up! I just got my in the mail to the other day! Can't wait to install mine!

 

Haven't done it yet but it's coming. I bought the Headstrong Bilstein/OME kit with the HS AAL and LR UCA's. I think I am going to do it myself with a little help from a buddy. I had a shop quote me 6 hours of labor to install it plus the alignment for $670. I wanted to ask why there are videos showing people installing struts and UCA's in 14 minutes a side...Seems like a lot of time doing nothing and getting paid.

 

Awesome looking taco!! What is your suspension set up and are you having any rubbing with the 295s?

 

Holy crap. That's going to look awesome!

 

A member offered me one for $160.00 + shipping a couple days ago. I cannot see paying that much for something that should of been installed straight from the factory. I miss the corner bumper steps on the Colorado I traded in 8 months ago.

 

2k is still a high price for a standard travel 2.5" shock with no reservoir considering you can get into king or Icon for not much more. If you really like spending money without research OME will be more than happy to sell you bp-51 rear shocks with 2" bodies for a about 1500.

It does have a skewp and the bigger 8.75 rear end that manuals and ORs come with. Probably the best part about it IMO unless you want to do something cool like a snorkel.

* <--asterisk lol I'm not sure if I'm trolling or just being a cranky bitch this morning? I'm gonna go flip some tires then take a nap.

 

Looks great! How easy is it to take it off if you need to haul something tall?

 

Damn firefighters, always workin' out and getting there swollz on. Gainzzzzzzzzz, bitch!

Anyways, I agree. There are PLENTY of better options out there. I'll stick with my icons and be happy I didn't have to take out a second mortgage to own this pig. I mean rig. It's Friday, right?

 

Lol day off today. I actually think I just need a little break from the forums. Im starting to get upset when I see the repetitive silly questions. There is so much information on Tacomaworld that IMO, if one were to spend a couple of minutes looking they would find a wealth of information. Also what's with all the non-stop complaining about 3rd gens?

The real problem here is why does this bother me? What's wrong with me lol? Time for a hiatus. I pledge to not look at this thread for at least 3 hours!
Pray for Mojo!

 

It was installed straight from the factory, they just charged me $220 to do it. A little check box on the order form was all it took.

 

Finally getting around to posting a pic of the completed wrap.

 

Ok it's not mine, but...
I pulled off the bank 1 valve cover. Sure enough, everything is lined up correctly.

Turns out it may simply be a failed sensor and all this was basically wasted time. I love working for free!
