What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Is that something between your cab and bed?

 

No

 

Just like hail said, just search for the specific directions in the tips and tricks tread. I think I had to rename them a specific file name. You then go to settings and select display off.

 

I'm about to be swapping to 700's as well. Benefits are several, but mostly they will handle more weight and wont need near as much preload which is always nice. Icon has their own which should be used and you will need a spring compressor to make the swap. Mine should be going on in a week or so.

 

Cool, sounds good to me. Is it fairly painless to do? Drop out old suspension, compress springs, install new springs, reinstall? I'm assuming there's a realignment.

I think I might try out running with the 650s for now -- the C4Fab bumper/winch combo I want isn't hugely heavy [should be around 120 lbs per them] and see if it feels rough before dropping in the 700s. Let me know how install goes and where you ordered them from!

 

will do man! Yeah I am just running the winch and stealth winch mount currently with the 650's and I can definitely tell you that the 700's would be preferred. I've got mine cranked as far as I'm comfortable pre loading those springs, so 700's with about an inch of preload will be a little more ideal.

 

Okay, good to know. Damn it, looks like I'm spending some more money.... this website has done a number on my credit cards.

 

Used mine over the weekend. AZ Super Toyota meet/poker run was a massive success. Had to be at least 50 trucks out at one point.

 

lol, that makes two of us.. Even worse that I have SDHQ in my backyard!

 

Haha, I can only imagine that makes it hard! My excel spreadsheet of current and future upgrades just keeps growing....

 

This completely is a blessing and a curse I swear...

 

Bro, the struggle is real!! I swear, every time I check something off the list, 5 more things get added to it. Priorities in order, but believe me, this is far from all I have planned.....

Sliders/Skids
700# Springs
Bed Rack/RTT
Icon Bump Stop Kit
Ditch Lights
Bed Rack Lights
Rock Lights
ARB Fridge

 

Sounds like we're building a similar truck! That's basically the same as my list.

I have the mobtown sliders inbound shortly. I can let you know how they are -- they're definitely my favorite that I've seen.

 

I've got the SDHQ sliders going on mine. They are currently in final welding then off to powder coat. They made some changes from the prototype versions, and what I can tell you is that they are going to be insane!!

 

Are you like their guinea pig for all new parts?

 

ha ha, not necessarily. They are a few of us, but obviously Cliff gets everything first since he works there. It will be spending some time there in the coming weeks though. Some significant changes on the horizon..

BTW, if anyone was wondering, PowerTanks are well worth the money. Used mine this weekend to air back up after the meet. All 4 tires from 20 to 36psi in just about 4 minutes.

 

Kind figured Cliff was first in line. Haha, thats cool though.

 

So I did removed the thing ! Looks way better!
Now because of that I ordered the pro skid plate ! Lol

 

Yeah it did and the worst part was I was just driving down the street with no one in front of me. Only think I can think of is there was a small chip and the heat cracked it. There's a thread some where of this happening to a lot of other people as well.

 

Okay guys, I need someone smarter than me to chime in.

I'm drawing up a headache rack, and I would like to continue to use my factory tonneau cover. The way I have the rack designed is that it mounts to the front bedrail [that I've added] and potentially the side ones as well. I am getting a prinsu roof rack, and would want to design my rack to mount to the rear set of bars on the rack for added strength. Is there any concern with "tying" the bed and the cab together? I assume there is to be some amount of flex between them, but I can't foresee myself wheeling so hard that the bed and cab will twist so significantly. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts on that?
