What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's the 2nd gen 5100s at the first notch. Just a little tip, if you plan to a similar set up, plan on replacing the UCAs.

Thanks!

 

Looks a lot better without the chrome running boards.

 

Installed some brand new TRD Pro Fox suspension. Ride is butter smooth. Huge difference from my Off-Road Bilsteins shock.

 

Added a couple points for tie downs to the bed stiffeners and picked up some hardware for mounting and paint. Hoping to have it all wrapped up in the next day or so, work permitting. Had to redo some of the bed mat, I used cheap duct tape as that's all I had on hand at the time, it didnt work overly well. so picked up some T-REX 3" tape and used weather resistant double sided tape to hold the mat down. Here is to hoping it doesnt try and fly away again.

 

Some recent before and after pictures...

Front:
-Installed a grille from Factory Crafts that I got on Bonanza (Approx. $270)
-uninstalled the air dam

Rear:
-Replaced pink plate cover for a beautiful Pittsburgh Penguins one
-Full badge delete
-Added "TACOMA" tailgate inserts

 

Most people I talk to say this is a royal PITA to do yourself. Did you have the same experience?

 

No. It's my job And I'm from the springs, well woodland park, so if you need a set done I can hook you up next time I'm there.

 

Did those just install right in without any issues with rubbing?

 

Hey man. I've looked through the entire 85 pages of the camper shell thread and still think your truck is the best looking truck on here. Looking at getting a shell for mine. What shell is that on your truck?

 

I have slight rubbing when backing out with wheel turned. I am going to do some light massaging to fix it. Rides so much better with these new tires. Can't rwait recommend enough. Many other Pros have had zero issues with rubbing

 

I'm not holding my breath, but this might be the week that my Prinsu rack finally shows up.. Just in time for a mod day I have planned for this weekend

 

Plan for possible missing parts OR wrong parts OR both..

 

Oh joy.. I'm hopeful that now that CBI owns and is making these racks, everything will be complete and correct.. Perhaps wishful thinking.

 

Was gonna ask if you got in after they took over?

Prinsu did rectify their mistakes quick tho.

 

I did. so here's to hoping that this first run from CBI is a good one.

 

Best of luck!!
This rack is worth it no matter what. Gonna look great on your already impressive rig

 

hopefully you won't be old and gray by the time it finally arrives

 

PHX mod day or you doing your own thing?

 

It's me and a few others at my house. Wachya need done? You are more than welcome to come on by.

 

Thanks man! Really appreciate the compliment
