What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got my little princess out this morning to throw some soap!

 

What kind of bike is the fox shox one? did it come with fox?
I'm looking to get into the sport

 

LOL. I've had several people ask me about that. It's called a go light and is controlled via remote that works from a hundred yards or so.

 

I think it's a Specialized....I found out how to make my bike float. Lol

 

Thanks, I got my box on Friday and of course it's damaged I got a new one on the way.

 

I plastic dipped wheels and painted my calipers

 

Do any of you have a motorcycle wheel chock attached to your bed? If so, can you post a picture and tell about your set up? I'm looking for a better way to haul my dual sport.

 

Thinking about painting my calipers too. I really like the look.

 

This weekend I installed LED's throughout the interior and for the two license plate lights. Really makes a difference.

I also took my air dam off, but I honestly thought it looked like shit without it, so put it back on a few hours later.

 

Got a neato angled neck washer hose attachment and gave it a washing, including inside the wheel wells!

Coming from a black WRX to a white Tacoma, holy crap this thing was dirty but it didn't look it at all! It's like magic, compared to the black car that looked dirty in a week.

 

Alright, opinions needed. I drank the koolaid and am ordering some TRD Pro matte black wheels. I want to wrap them in either BFG KO2s, Wildpeak A/T3Ws, or Dick Cepek Extreme Countries. Like 90% of people on here I do far less off-roading than I'd like to, but convince me I need some aggressive tires.

 

Man that's cheap, compared what shops down where I live charge. They'd charge a grand easy for that.

 

Two attempts for my box and both were smashed to shit. Ended up going to Autozone and having them order it. Third try worked and was packaged way better when it shipped to autozone.

 

The best thing I've done to my Taco: BFG KO2s

 

Aggressive tires may not always be practical but they look Bad A$$



I've never run the extreme countries but have been a fan of the old style fun countries for along time.

*not my taco btw

 

Thanks guys! Now we just need someone with Falkens to chime in, haha. I'm really leaning towards the extreme country because I can get them for a good deal, but I definitely do not need that level of aggressive tire. Plus they're LT and inflate to 80psi.

 

stumpjumper or Rhyme?
i'll soon to be picking up a new rockhopper, to replace my old Crosstrail(converted purely to mountain use)

im 50/50 on adding a tri-fold cover, but glad to see this method works for multiple bikes, as i'll need to carry up to 3 at times.

 

Here's my component list:

• Icon 58630 Front Coilovers ($1200)
• Icon 56503 Rear Shocks ($320)
• $220 Icon 51100 ICON 1.5" Lift Add-A-Leaf Kit, Compatible with 1996-Up Toyota Tacoma/00-06 Tundra, 51100
  Icon 51100 AAL($200)/ Replaced with ARB CS047R OME Dakar Leaf Spring ($400)
• Icon 19800 Spanner Wrench ($27)
• Specialty Products Company 25470 Upper Control Arm for Toyota Tacoma ($400)

I shopped around and found the best prices on Amazon, no tax, free shipping; there are other vendors around here that will match or beat prices too. My driving situation doesn't require the extended travel or need for remote reservoirs included in the stage 4 kit. Also, stage 4 comes with the AAL that just gives height to the crappy stock leafs(I'll sell cheap to anyone) which is no good if you use your truck to haul or tow, you know, truck things.

As far as UCAs go, the SPC was about half the price of the Icon and offers greater adjust-ability; I don't regret it. You can do the math and come to your own conclusions in terms of where you want to spend your money.

Here are some pics since the last time I posted. I added a Leer 100 XR shell, Thule Rack and of course, the Dakar leafs to bring up and maintain rear height.




Silver sky metallic hides the dirt really well!

 

Looks damn good op. Amazing what a lift does for the appearance of a DCLB.
