What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

$400 is the dealer price...it's $500 MSRP

 

My guess is hes on 5100's on the front and he meant to say 5160's in the rear.

 

Why drop the diff? Don't we all want the differ higher from the ground for better ground clearance/off road capability? Asking because I don't understand what it is, purpose for it.

 

I'm assuming he dropped it to decrease the angle of the half-shafts and CV joints with his lift.

 

Wake up Toyota.I have been to three Toyota dealership in the last two weeks.7 pro TDR grills all had broken tabs.The have coming for over night air.If shows broken iam going to pass and look else where. Maybe a nice metal Grill. At least it shouldn't break in shipping if it's not plastic. They could do a much better job of packaging at Pro TDR Grill.

 

It's the same for any 3rd party grille too bud

 

Need to see more pictures of this truck please! Looks great!

 

Millions of packages are shipped daily in the US. Packaging product should be a priority that used a very thin box no styrofoam at all just a little wraparound the tabs. If they use a nice heavy box and styrofoam to hold the product in place of the tabs would not break hundreds of them would not be going back

 

I don't have flaps, but I believe that size (265/70/17) is the largest you can put on with no lift and not have any rubbing.

 

If it makes any of you feel any better, I received my TRD Pro Skid yesterday and opened the box to find some powder coat scratched because some numbnuts put those huge staples on the face of the box. Why someone would put staples there is beyond my comprehension because they weren't holding anything together. In transit, something squished the box face or sit on it causing the staple to scratch the skid plate. If it wasn't a skid plate, I'd send it back, but meh, it will get scratched up on the bottom of the truck. Toyota packaging is not very good.

 

I have 265/70/17 with 8" wheels and plus 10 offset and have tons of clearance with stock 2 wheel drive suspension. I am now looking at 285's on 20" x 8.5" wheels with a plus 10 or plus 15 offset.

 

Someone out there knows how it feels. LOL it wouldn't be such a big problem but when you get 7 of those TRD grills and all of them are broken. Gets to be disappointed. But I'm starting to laugh. I'm looking at metal grilles online. Might just be a lost sale for Toyota.

 

Who knows maybe the 8th time trying for a TRD Pro Grill will be my lucky time. LOL

 

There is only one guaranteed way to get one that is not broken. But it will cost you $44000 to get it.

 

Installed vinyl decal inlays from @rrentrop. Awesome product and great service. The dude is killing the vinyl game.

Few random pics:

 

My CCG grill was $310 (shipped!) with the OEM TOYOTA emblem. No broken tabs. (Ha!) Looks better in my opinion too (for now, at least). I might reconsider after the price (significantly) drops... if it ever does.

 

Good for you.Looks great and if my 8th TRD Grill is broke at the dealership. I probably order the same

 

Tonight I did a test-install of the Rightline Gear truck tent I picked up on eBay for $85. Looks like price has gone up, factory seconds. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rightline-Gear-Mid-Size-Short-Bed-Truck-Tent-5-110765-/172336159263

Of particular note, I established that this tent works with the OEM tonneau installed and folded up. This tent does not have an interior liner, which is why I chose it. That and it was cheap.

 

Damn. for $85 thats a steal. For $130 I may could do without.

 

I love this grille !!
