What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Took it on a little drive up hwy 80 and a small section of the brp. Fog got thick around the base of mt mitchell

 

Mounted my fire extinguisher with the bracketeer mount. I think it'll work. It feels sturdy. Not too impressed with the design but we'll see. Surprisingly it is out of the way and I don't really come close to kicking it while driving or entering/exiting the truck.



Also put in the red glove box letters. I think it's just enough red accent in the cab (start button, shift knob, glove box). Goes great with the Quicksand trim!

 

1. aired down
2. got it filthy.
3. christened it with scratches from brush on narrow trails
4. slept in the back of it
5. properly used crawl control and MTS
6. had a frickin' blast - this thing is a beast.
7. aired up, drove home, and gave her a bath.

 

Badass, Do you have a build thread? Or, do you have links to where you bought the roof rack, ditch lights, softopper, etc?

I got excited to see a new cool looking build.. then clicked and realized I had already creeped your build and seen it.

 

Thanks! And yes i do have a build thread should be here https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/addictions-buid-in-progress-bs.465556/

 

Busy weekend.

-OME 887 c/w 5100 for 3rd gens (lowest notch)
-Some Bro tail light covers from Ebay.

- And OEM bed extender cuz size matter s!




installation was straight forward once I get the f-in spring perch set right. Now beer time

 

What'd u do to the rear?
How much lift you got up front?

 

Pic of these covers please?

 

The wife washed it today. It got a bit dirty over the weekend.

 

You people have to quit showing that crap. I want that set up so bad but can't afford it...

 

I didn't do any before measurements. I know from others on here and my research it's between 2-3 " at the end of the day. I knew this was the type of lift I wanted so the results were arbitrary for me.

Nothing for rear yet. Gonna see how she settles in and go from there. I tow a fair bit in summer and I haven't decided on set up yet.
AAL seems last choice so far, might go with 5100 rears as well , or sumo springs.

 

What good is money but for spending, right?

 

Rear suspension done today and it took me FOREVER. I figured an AAL would be a 30 minute job, boy was I wrong. Check my build thread for more detail...

 

I agree but with life getting in the way I don't have any more money. May I ask how much and how much lift you got or are capable of? How is your ride now? Thanks.

 

So am i seeing it correctly that you just taped a square section and sprayed and it didnt stick to the trucks paint/clear-coat ? (yes people im new at this plastidip stuff lol)

 

I got about 2 3/4 all around. I could jack it up more, but I'm pretty pleased with that height. Just need to make sure the tires clear. I'm sure I could get a TON more in the front and with a different leaf pack or adding back in the overload leaf more in the rear, but I'm happy with it and don't want extreme angles. I've got the adjustable valved suspension so I can change the ride to stiffer or softer. I put it all the way to the stiffest setting and honestly it feels just a little more stiff than the stock "sport" suspension. I'm going to loosen it up a little but leaving it for now.

 

Yessir! It'll peel right off the paint and break off leaving it attached to the emblems. You can use a toothpick to get in from the areas in the enclosed letters (A, O, etc).

 

Nice! Grommet to hold the boot up ? What did you use for the Lowe ring ?
