What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got around to doing the ECGS bushing, started getting bad vibes, that mostly went away in 4 hi. Was a fairly easy install, hardest part for me was pulling the axle out of the diff... was prying, pushing, turning, prying, pushing, turning, couldn't get it to budge... then figuring I was probably putting side load on the c-clip keeping it from going anywhere, I decided to pry with one arm, while sort of wiggle/positioning the axle towards center with the other; and that did the trick, practically slid right out.

Note that the needle bearing was demolished by the removal tool... I don't think it was looking quite that rough inside the diff, lol.

 

Why did you get spacers? Spacers will make rubbing worse with upsized tires...

Hey - anyone got the tourque specs for the TRD Pro skid plate bolts?

 

Just finished my lift yesterday
Couldn’t be happier with the outcome!
Had so many compliments already.

Ditto

 

Did the plastic trims pretty much just pop/pull off?

 

Installed my OEM Off-Road flares. With my -12 offset rims, I needed a bit more coverage.

 

Looks good dude! What are those running boards?

 

Sort of but check out the write-up I linked to just above the second picture.

 

Got some work done on mounting the VIAIR compressor and tank. My solar panel kit gets here tomorrow and I positioned the XS Power batteries close to where I am going to mount them also, but their hold-downs won't be here until later this week.

 

Thanks. Rough Country.

 

Didn't want to do it but I just can't bring myself to replace the tires I paid $35k for so to get me thru until they are bald I put some 1.25" Spidertrax. The stance change is nice. Also derped the pinch welds under the cab and changed the bump blinker from 3 to 5 and disabled both front seat belt chimes.

 

Getting BHLM on my oem lights hopefully I can get 'em by November. Nothing wrong with the oemassive lights

 

How much lift, level kit?

 

Where'd you buy the flares at? Do you have a part number?

 

Same here. Im gonna wear these tires out that came on my trd sport first. Thatll give me time to really figure out what i want
