What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just messin' with ya.

 

Ha! I don't mind.

 

And I only used that emoticon because I couldn't find the "pics or it didn't happen" version.

 

I’m looking for help on how to go about putting a patch that I received from a previous order on my headliner and I have no clue how to put it on there. Please help!

 

Yea I was pretty stoked on them. I had seen some TRD ones and thought i'd see if they could make these. @rrentrop made them for me.

 

I wish i could keep my tires looking like ANY of those pictures.. Every dressing i have tried was a magnet to dirt and lime rock dust. I live a mile and a half down a dusty dirt and lime rock road and it's straight up impossible to keep the tires black for even 1 day if i drive anywhere.

My black truck stays gray as well. If i wash it 2 days after a rain... When the road is not muddy but still not dusty yet... and go slow enough, and only take 1 trip to town a day, i can keep the truck half clean for 2-3 days at very most... The tires and rims... Not as lucky.


I have bought all types of rim and tire cleaners... Even one that was $20 bucks for a single spray bottle... they claimed they dissolve all dust... It may work on brake dust... But limerock dust didn't even budge.

 

Got my Baja Designs Squadron R Sport Fogs on.

 

Here's what most guys do: Velcro consists of two sides, the hook side and the loop side.



The firmer side is the Hook, and the soft fuzzy side is the Loop.

They buy this with double face adhesive tape and using the Hook side, affix it to the back of the patch. Then they sorta squish it into the headliner until it holds. Not as permanent as glue and I believe the marks can be brushed out with a stiff nylon brush should you decide to remove them.

There are likely other options but I believe this to the be the preferred method.

 

BMW wheel wax works great and prevents the buildup.

 

Thanks! Your Tacoma looks great with the white letters. Love the retro look.

 

took off the bed rack for maintenance on the tent (loose bolts and brackets, need new cover after 70K miles,) re-bedlining and fixing stuff - mounting the tent directly to the bed rack. Might just get a military trailer and and set it on there so I can use it with my jeep as well.

 

Feb in the ATL can be 60-70 or cold or rain everyday. Feb and March are the most unpredictable months here. Normally the rule for winter weather here, if the forecast is warm, it is going to rain, if its cold it will be clear. Usually 2-3 days of cold clear, a day of clouds, couple of days of rain. So far this winter we have had some kind of snow event in Dec and Jan, I wouldn't expect Feb to be any different, since in a normal year, we get snow in Feb/Mar.

 

Looks amazing. I was about to suggest some Adam’s Tire & Rubber Cleaner to get that Brown back to Black.

 

Does your spare tire cover and brackets convert to a camp grill?!

 

the top one on the rack. just waiting on my prinsu so I'd like to see how it's mounted. thanks

 

Yes, sir. Here is more info on it: http://phoenixoverlandgroup.com/2016/07/10/grill-grate/

 

You have a lift on that or is the trailer weight just bringing the back down to level with front? What size tires?

 

Suspension is complete.

F:
90021 Nitrocharger Sport Shock
2888 Coil Over Springs

R:
60091 Nitrocharger Sport Shock
CS047R Medium Dakar Leaf Springs

I ordered the OME 2885 by mistake and will be selling them.

This package is all suspension w/no spacers to limit travel; I gained about 2.75 inches in the front and 2.5 in the rear. There is a "slight" rake, but with 300-500# of weight, it should sit level. The ride is very different than stock; the truck feels more "planted" and "damp"/ going over RR tracks is where I really feel the difference.

P.S. Have installed the driveline carrier shim but it looks like it is sitting too low in the carrier; also, I'm getting a slight vibration at 20 mph.
So, I'm convinced the shim isn't needed and will be removing it; at least to see if the vibe goes away.

Will head over to Moab for the day on Saturday and bounce it around a little.

 

I was thinking of not dressing my tires after cleaning them. They were pretty nice in the second pic. And thabk you!

 

Thank you! And I'll try that after I run out of my super clean. Got less than 1/4 of a bottle so I think I'll put an order for that right now haha
