What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

which Hidden winch did you go with. was looking at pelfreybilt one.

 

I'm looking forward to my first recovery, straps being delivered this week!!

 

onepremiere what kind of ditch lites are those and also what kind of brackets they look like little lasers bad ass man

 

I did the SDHQ hidden winch mount. Quite a bit more stout than the other options out there. Plus it's got integrated recovery points

 

Something like this.

 

Details please looks great. May be my next addition.

 

Debadged it. Sprayed the grill a million times. Put on 285s. Plugged the bumper holes.

 

So this is SDHQ's new hidden winch mount holding a warn zeon 10s platinum winch. Where their mount differs from other is that it uses thicker material and twice as many anchor points making it much stronger but also not too heavy. Add to that they integrated dual recovery points as well. Very well thought out system. And just to make it even more stealth I had them add Factor55 Fairlead and flat link..

Also, here's a pic of their abs sensor shields.. Good piece of inexpensive added insurance.

 

Well guys I already posted on The Gear thread, I figured I would update you guys on picking up my truck. Picked it up this morning and so far it is excellent, didn't drive it too much but enough to know that it is very quiet this time not like the first time when I picked it up. So fingers crossed it is all good this time. Have to do break-in period and change out the oil again at 500 miles. I forgot how much I enjoyed driving it till this morning. Was really good to get it back and not having any whining noise this time was awesome.!

 

Very happy to hear this!

 

Thanks Jerry! Still not sure what the problem was the first time. He blames it on the gears Nitro didn't really blame it on the install, questioned me on my break in. Which I know it was not a problem because I was very meticulous with break-in period And like I said it made noise from the moment I picked it up. I wish I knew what the problem was. I still tend to believe that they were set to tight, as the driver side was burned up. He swears they were set correctly.

 

What do these bed stiffeners do?

 

Tacoma's are notorious for not having the most rigid bed sides, especially near the tailgate. What these do is add some needed rigidity and more tie down points. I'm also going to be adding a rtt so these are a good idea to maintain the structural integrity of the bed

 

checked their website.I guess it's not updated?

 

More info on the sensor shields as I am having trouble locating them on the website....

Thanks

 

Stand by, working on getting the links for you guys

Sensor Shields:
These are literally brand new, so those may not be up yet. But call or PM @tubbsisland and he'll set you up and provide the TW Deal

 

Also, made a platform for my puppy to hang in the backseat. He's the only "person" that will ever sit back there anyways.

 

Wicked, this is great to know.

 

Just curious as to why you consider it frustrating to drive?

 

updated my response with the link for you
