What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Can you still access the seat belt attachments? I like to harness my dogs in on the off chance I'm in an accident, and to stop them jumping into the front when I'm out of the truck.

 

Put an icon stage 3 lift with tubulars in today. American racing 17x8s wrapped in 265/70r17 bfg ta ko2s. What do you guys think? Haven't adjusted the front coilovers yet. Sits about an inch higher in the rear.

 

Do you recall the P/N?

$305 69-5212 3"F / 2"R SST Lift Kit - Toyota Tacoma TRD / SR5 / Rock Warrior

69-5212? Was looking at 275 or 285 on stock 16" wheels.

 

Yes. If the seats are up, you wouldn't even know this was back there.

 

I like the leveled look more but it also depends if you're going to haul often or add weight in the rear.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info. Yeah, that was the notch setting I was considering as well. For access cabs they (bilstein) recommends not going higher than 4/5 notch. I guess the access cabs may net a bit more lift from that setup.

 

I don't recall what the part number was, but that definitely looks like all the right components.

 

I meant when the seats are down and you're using for the dog platform?

 

I plan on leveling it off but little did I know the kit did not come with the spanner wrench required to adjust the front coilovers.

 

I prefer the rake. I think it looks better.

 

Yeah Benchmade is where it's at. I won't carry another knife. I've been carrying the same knife pretty much every day for the last 20 years.

 

How'd you attach the rotopax to the rail? Same. Relentless mount as well?

 

likewise.

 

That was my alter ego.
Idk, if ppl want them I guess.

 

yes, you can still access them! I just cut two pieces of carpet 19.5" x 20" and 19.5" x 52.5" just enough to get the flattest positioning

 

Mine started squeaking as well. It was a little before my 15k service, so I had them take a look. They just pressure washed them and no more squeaks so I went on my way......well at least for 2 days A friend, who is an aircraft mechanic, suggested I use an aviation grade lubricant called LPS 1 on the rubber pucks between the leafs. He sprayed them down with a little he had and recommended that I separate the leaf springs and lube them more thoroughly. He told me the more times I applied the better because LPS 1 builds on itself to form a no-oily lubricating barrier. They were quite for about another 3 weeks and I could hear one side come back so I gave them a quick spray while getting gas and all was good. That was 2.5 weeks ago and all is quite at the moment. In a few days I plan to jack up each side and give them a good coat. Time will tell, but if all I have to do give a quick spray once a month, I can live with that.

 

Looks like he used http://www.4wheelparts.com/Exterior...tid=ROTRX-TN&gclid=CL72wMTFudQCFQ6Zfgodt00Gcw

I could be wrong

 

I am just gonna leave this right here for you on lookers.
