What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yes, that will work. Unfortunately, I had a 1" sag on the drivers side, 1/2" shim makes it unnoticeable though.

 

Do they come with a diff lock?

 

This just makes me want to do bro things...

 

Yeah they do. And a-trac

 

East coast gear supply bushing to replace needle bearing in diff and toytec driiveline shaft carrier bearing kit! It drop the center of the 2 piece Drive shaft down to correct pinion angle! I had a ton of vibration in my Drive line, and that cured it all! Thanks toytec!

 

Well I ended up getting a set of load bars they sell for the bed and moving my tent there and installing a set of rod holders to the one on the cab.

 

I had a 2014 F150 in magnetic gray metallic and never really liked the color but man yours looks awesome in that color. Are they new larger tires. They look bigger than the 4Runners that I have seen on the lots. I had a few issues with my Taco and was looking at 4Runners last summer. Fortunately my Taco is doing great, for now, and I plan on keeping it. I love the mpg's and hate to go back to another 4.0 for that reason. I know ones like yours are now discounted and selling for around $35k (Trails for $36k at koons.com) and is very tempting. I only owe $10.5k on mine now and plan on paying it off within 12 to 18 months so I can retire. If I start having issues on mine again I may just have to stroke a check to pay the difference to get one like yours. Would not trade so could get the most for mine. I am sure you took a big hit trading yours. Love your 4Runner.

 

Pure savagery bro

 

Yeah that's a bit of a hike for me

 

Nope, nothing at all. It's a 1/2" spacer, it'll give you 1/2" of lift.

 

This belongs in the WTF thread....

Sorry you had this happen.

 

Damn man. This point on anyone looking at my truck will get a smack. Expecting the worst. Good luck to you from here on out

 

This is the main reason I put in a Dash Cam this past weekend to hopefully catch the dumb fucks of the World...

 

Yup, All my cars have them now. Just too much stupid shit going on these days!

 

I would burn 10 gb of video memory just with all the accidents I avoid every day. Would be interesting to see how many times a day I yell the word "idiot". At least once daily someone decides they can squeeze an entire car in the 1/2 car length between me and the next vehicle. Then at least once daily someone decides in oncoming traffic that their light is greener than mine and turns directly in my path. I am now handicapped from such an incident. What have I done with my 3rd gen. I have tested the Hell out of my abs system. It works very well. I think my handicapped plates and parking have saved me from parking lot damage. My 5" nerfs are a great door ding deterrent as well.

 

Hey Danny,

The original mirrors pop right off and the other ones go right on and they are the exact same!

 

Thanks for the info !

 

Short form tutorial:

1. Push mirror housing forwards so it is flat against the door so the mirror housing won't move on you while you remove and replace the glass.
2. Rotate the mirror glass upwards as far as it goes (you can use the mirror controller or just push gently by hand)
3. Pry upwards and outwards on the bottom of the mirror glass until it pops off of the white mirror holder in the housing. Not too hard. Use a plastic pry tool if you have one or carefully with just your hand. There are 2 wires on the glass so be careful not to pull it off to hard.
4. Remove the 2 heater wires. May need to use a pair of pliers as they are on pretty tight.
5. Connect the 2 wires to the new mirror glass. There is no polarity issue so either wire goes on any stem connector.
6. Line up the mounting spots of the new mirror over the white mirror holder in the housing and press firmly into place until you hear them snap into place.
7. Rotate Mirror housing back to position and adjust mirror for your seating position.

Hope this helps. It's really easy but i understand the hesitancy before doing this!

 

What did I do with my 3rd gen today? Pulled my sub compact out of a small stream! 4 lol and it came right out.

 

Not something I did to the truck but rather an accessory for the truck. Next is the ARB fridge/freezer
