What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice truck, and Welcome to the club.

 

I am still excited about all the cup holders! But I am pretty sure my truck only has 13. Oh my....it's starting to make sense. Rock chip @ 89 miles, hail @ 2300. 13 cup holders...crap.

 

Had a mod day with the GF today, got my ONX6 wired up.

 

I built a small 90 degree bracket out of aluminum and mounted it to the front battery support. I drilled a hole in that and put my ballast and igniter for the drivers side on that. The other side hasn't been permanently mounted (lack of time...) so I put a 1/4-20 bolt through one of the stamped holes in the front of the truck and tightened it down for now.

 

Kirkland Light Beer... 48 pack for $24. Awesome.

 

Thanks here's a couple more pics

 

Looks so good! Does your bed decal just say TRD Sport? Have a side shot you can send and where did you get the decal?

I took mine off, and having a buddy make me matte black OEM style ones but kinda like it without the 4X4.

 

Is it lifted

 

Stock suspension

 

Thanks just the sport decals it came with

 

Do you ever take your truck into the dealer? If so will DIY hold up to Toyota's warranty standards?

 

tires size?

 

Pretty sure I threw my warranty out the window when I lifted, welded/ cut the frame, regeared ect.

With all the warranty issues Toyota is having, I see them being very cautious on what they choose to warranty.

I don't have the specifics on the rear diff recall, but my rearend, 8.75" uses the larger 10mm studs, and they torqued to spec no problem, or fear of snapping one.

I did have slight seepage, and I was surprised to find the nuts to be very loose, and the gasket was saturated in oil.

 

Dialed in my Bakflip VP install. I think I'll do a mini write-up with my experiences.

 

265 70 17

 

Picked these up from rago fabrication for 50 shipped

 

The TRD wheels were knock offs from FN Wheels...sold to a buddy here in town with a 4th gen 4runner. The leveling kit is great...cheap, rides very well, installed it myself yes. I'll likely still put an actual lift kit on it one of these days...this was just to get me by for the time being.

 

Looks NICE! Did you paint/dip your tailgate around the "TACOMA" stamp? Did you have to tape/mask off the letters? I still can't decide on grey or black TRD Pro rims.

 

No rubbing?

 

I got her a little muddy.
