What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

He gave me a good price, we're family friends, so my dad hung out in his shop and helped him build it. He's an awesome fabricator!!!

 

I have this on my list of things to complete as well. Looks good

 

10-4
I've known him for a long long time since late 80's? early 90's?, I built his race cars, great guy, great fabricator

 

Have you taken the RXTs out for any sort of offroad fun yet? I was initially going to go with the Deaver route but now I'm strongly considering a stage 2 RXT with my bedrack and RTT and assorted other shenanigans.

 

Not yet, but I am heading out camping today, so will be getting some use and putting them to the test. But I can already tell that they will exceed expectations.

 

Awesome, looks like I know where my next paycheck is headed.

 

lol, believe me, I am an honest dude and straight shooter... If these were junk, I'd call it out.. But I am beyond impressed. They hold up to additional weight better than the deavers did, and oddly enough, the ride quality is improved as well, however that aspect is a very minor change and could be attributed to the additional fluid capacity and cooling with the larger 10 inch resi's. Nevertheless, you can tell that Icon did their homework here and released a great product

 

Dooo it!! One of my very early additions. Super easy and very nice to have.

 

Beautiful photos! Did you coat your center hubs with something? and the control arms? Mine definitely are not that nice and are rusty.

 

Thank you!!
Yes, painted the drums/hubs, calipers and LCA's with gloss black caliper paint.
Mine were rusty as fuck too.

 

nice, thanks now I have a weekend project

 

I'm in Sac, if you every come through just hit me up and I'll take you for a ride in it. It's a big purchase, I understand lol

Thanks! I figured I had it wrong lol

 

Ya, great product. Super durable. Ive used it on other metal projects too.

 

Did you do anything to remove the rust prior to painting (sandpaper, etc.)?

 

No, no rust on Calipers, LCA's i don't care cause I'm gonna swap em out with a suspension setup. Just degreased and scrubbed everything good.

 

This came in the mail today!!! Morimoto HID system 35 watt ballasts with 5500k bulbs. Looks like I have something to do other than way the truck today.



Installation is plug-n-play, it actually took me longer to cable manage than it was too plug it in and test fire it.

Just the lo beams on:

This is with the Rigid LED fogs on:

 

Oooooo nice. Ive got the same kit plus fog lights in the mail. Make sure to post pics

 

did you swap to the SR5 fog light bezels? these looks better than the square TRD

 

Nope, OEM TRD sport bezel..
Isn't the base SR5 bezel less angular?

 

Had no idea there was a difference... good eye
