What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@honey the running boards in your profile picture looks different than the ones on your truck. There is a bigger gap and look lower in profile picture. Is it just the angle of picture or are they different. I like the ones in your profile picture, they appear to hang lower.

 

They look like the AMP Research powerstep.

Yes but in reality the Tundra would eat the taco for breakfast!

 

I am the one with the amp power steps! I love them so far. We will see how they handle winter in Wisconsin! I have the door cracked open a bit so they are down in the picture! By the way thanks for the pictures! Do they just stick on over the lens?

 

The Tundra got too big and too expensive after 06 imho. I traded my 06 and went back to the taco in 11!

 

Installed Pro shift knob.

 

Pic or it didn't happen

 

I installed the tailgate lettering. Now to debadge. I was going to change the side "Tacoma" badges to black but the slick look is nice. So far I built the dog platform, removed the TRD Off Road sticker, installed the tailgate lettering, and got the neoprene console cover. Up next is to debadge, tint the front windows, get a ICON lift, 33" BFG KO2's, TRD wheels, instal katskin leather, change out the front grill to mesh black, get steel bumpers and a winch.

 

Are your rear bumper end caps White. If so when you install your steel bumper are you going to sell them.Let me know. Thanks Greg

 

They are white. I was going to list anything that is replaced. I will let you know.

 

Pic of the neoprene console cover and where to get and $$!

 

Best $5.99 I've spent.
Took out my LED bulbs and mounted a 36SMD LED board. Fits like a glove! Plug and play. The led bulbs I had were OK, but these are insanely bright. Next is the dome light. Had a LED festoon, but will changing out to 2ea 48smd boards.

Sweet looking, I am pleased

 

Nice changes. Where did you get the console cover ?

 

Intsalled Redline Tunning hood struts! What an Improvement!!!

 

Installed Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners. Fronts set at .85 and the truck is just about perfectly level. I took the front air damn off too. Truck rides better with these shocks as opposed to the stock TRD Sport shocks.
Before
After

 

Looks good . I AGREE WITH ABOUT THE HATERS OF THE 3RD GEN SELL THEM OR STOP CRYING !

 

Reused the stock coils on the new 5100s I assume?

 

Yup

 

2 questions for you.

1) Is .85 the first notch / lowest setting?
2) Did you measure before and after so you can tell us exactly how much lift was achieved?

I plan to run the 5100 up front as well however i'm looking for 3" of lift. Trying to do a little math and see if the OEM coil can be used with the 5100 to achieve that. The realistic answer is that it probably could however I think there would be so much preload on the coil that it'd ride like a tank.
