What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Better get after it, we had a little frost on the pumpkin this morning in southeastern Illinois.

 

Thanks for a compliment
Right now I have only two pics available... I took them after my last camping/wheeling trip, before I took off the water tank. So here:


When weather improves, I'll take a few more photos.
To install the tools, I followed @Benson X write up: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/diy-hi-lift-and-tool-mounts.260147/

There are a few more ideas here:

It's 85 degrees here today. Plenty of camping time left this year!

 

Thanks Bud. Appreciate the pics as well as the info.

 

Thanks! I'm thinking of getting the 275/70/16 KO2's. They are C rated.

 

Wrong! They are D rated not C! My bad!

 

What have I done with my 3rd Gen today ????




Well......we had a couple beers and some shots.




Music was playing throughout.



She was damn near nekkid.




I looked over every-now-and-again and called her Sexy Bitch.




That's what we did today.

 

which lift kit did you get? the 4/6 inch or the spacer lift?
also what MPG you getting with intake and exhaust with 285s?

 

Picked up the bed rails from the Powder coating.

 

3” spacer lift. Pretty early to tell on mileage but the computer is telling me 14. I am driving a little heavier footed with that exhaust thou......

 

Took her out for the first highway trip over to a buddies place.


Had some guns, ammo and wings. So did everyone else.



We shot up a heap of handgun & rifle rounds and then got rolling on some wings....using his 34 year old Weber kettle.

I got over 20 mpg on the round trip, too.







200 yd range....
















Fired up the grill when we transitioned over to handguns....












Made it back home and was powerfully thirsty after all the gunpowder and new-car-smell hitting me on the ride home.

 

looking into a 3inch lift. i had the readylift 3" on my 2012 and now i cannot decide between rough country, readylift, billstein shocks, or toytec. i want to run 285s on 17s or 18s cant decide yet
any thoughts

 

Good deal. You are all set then. Enjoy!

 

Better picture of the lift.

 

Looks like mine when I first got it. Small lift makes a big difference...

 

Have ran Blizzaks for many years on trucks, traction is excellent. They will drop gas mileage and the ride is best described as a soft bounce. braking distance greatly improved. corning on slippery roads way better. ran mid December- early March, you will not get stuck!

...^^^... cool set-up

 

Looks great.
The factory flares look too ridgelinerish/mallish if they are words. They are just too thin and small.
Bushwacker flares are the only way to go.

 

looks great

 

Thanks Paul, only bad thing I've heard about them is the price.
