What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What size tires you put on? I just bought the same 17" Pro rims but can't decide between a 265 or 275 70/17...... I'm afraid the 275 will rub.

 

Can you guys/gals look this kit over and tell me if it decent price, right materials...etc. Bare in mind, I am only looking for lift. I do no off roading and rarely off paved roads. I just think the truck would look a little better raised.

Thanks for any input.

 

Welcome!

 

Congrats. Excellent color choice

 

Trying to decide between two ditch lights mounted to bed rails, or two flush mount lights in the bumper. I feel like the bed rail mounted lights will have more functionality beside just backing up but I’m afraid of them getting stolen.
Any input from people who have done either?

 

Mounted my FN Fx Pros today.

While I don’t have ditch lights so I can’t speak from experience, I think the flush mounted lights in the bumper would look cooler. But I agree on the functionality of the rail mounted lights. Pros and cons to everything. Just my 2 cents

 

Bumper lights for me. Outa sight, outa mind so to speak and esthetically they don't change the body lines of the truck. Just my opinion but as with all things beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your truck, your call Bud. Whatever you do make it your own. In the end what you like is all that matters!

 

Will be one of these since my truck is black and I think it’s neccesary!

 

I like both of those sets. Decisions!

 

Found some Lund sidebars on Craigslist for $125. Also took off the air damn.

 

Is it possible to get BFG KO2s 275/70 17s On stock suspension and not have to do any cutting or trimming. I have a 2017 TRD Sport 4x4 access cab. Thanks.

 

Made a ski rack for the inside of my capped 2016 AC. 3/4 Plywood, tee nuts from Amazon (cargo track), nuts/bolts, paint, 3/4 closed cell foam weather stripping. Planning an epic 6 week ski trip out west and needed some organization.

I only attached the plywood to the rails. No fasteners on roof or floor. The rail mount is very strong. Hope that helps

 

Grille emblem overlay installed along with the tuffskins. The tuffskins come with an adhesive back, but I just placed mine in the openings.

 

No mod on the brackets, they are identical to the ones in the truck now. Remove one screw and that’s about it.

 

V-6 emblem removed and prepped


New emblems installed. Love the TRD emblem, not too happy with the 4x4 emblem. Who uses white adhesive tape for a matte emblem???


I installed it anyways while I look for a new one. should've blacked out the tape with a Sharpie before installing.


Also installed the LED reverse lights. Can't wait to see how much of a difference they make. Also got email that my seat covers and grille have shipped. It is coming together...

 

You could also go with Baja design s2 work/flood

This is nice for the bumper idea

 

Removed front air dam ... New rims and tires ... removed front mud flaps due to minor rubbing ... Wildpeak AT3 265/70 17 ... stock suspension for now ... up next, black lug nuts, new grill, side/nerf bars, tailgate letter inserts, a debadge and the NJ Pine Barrens

 

Meso left - stock right


MESO-Custom off road tails are awesome. Love the slightly tinted but factory look until things light up. Tailgate is always locked...Now to save for headlights but will be awhile.

 

And away you go... Enjoy !
