What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got tinted. Was a long 7 days of being seen by everyone. Haha. 5% added to all windows.

 

-Installed 2nd Gen bed rail track.
-Mounted my X-Bull recovery boards.
-Intalled Waterport w/bed rail mount.

 

Thanks! I'll probably try to pop it out and derp it. But the vinyl is the backup plan for when I screw that up...

 

Details on carbon fiber trim?

 

I asked this about a week ago, but got no replies. Not sure if no one knew or maybe it got lost in all the posts. So I'm asking again.

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.

 

Nope nope nope

 

I got the Carbon fiber dash kit here:
https://www.carid.com/remin/real-ca...4-pcs-mpn-tatc16c-rcf.html?singleid=343608949

I didn’t install the pieces around the radio and the piece that goes just in front of the A/T shifter I could not get the piece to stay glued completely since it’s curved there. I just cut a straight thin piece to finish it off. Other than that make sure you wipe everything a couple of times with alcohol to get rid of any residue....makes a big difference in getting the CF to bond. Plus do it when your truck is warm on the inside.

The inserts here:

These inserts have like 3M tape on the back to bond. I left the backing on the large piece where the pocket with the charging area is. I don’t use it for charging since it’s so slow....but just in case for future.

And I made a red start button and the carbon fiber a/c vents and CF/TRD sticker over the USB charger you see in the picture from here:

Nope you can't help, or nope don't buy?

 

I’ve found tacomaworld has lots of hate for spacer lifts. Coming from the 4Runner group, they don’t hate them. From what I’ve gathered in both groups, look at the adjustable 5100s for the front. They’re around $100 each, but will be a safer/comfortable ride. If you’re set on that 3” lift, you’ll want to add the ome springs with it.

I’m no pro at this, as I just bought my tacoma. This is solely based on the million threads I’ve read on this subject.

 

You're buying a Ridgeline? LOL

Nothing wrong with Honda at all. Had a 4wd Crosstour. Handled 5" snow better than some 4x4 trucks.

 

SWEEEEET! At the dealer for my 10k service. They are going to do the Tranny TSB! SCOOOORE! Will post a pic of the paperwork if I can get a copy in a while with my drivability update. Stoked!

 

Thanks, and no, not stuck on 3". Just think the truck would show better with a simple lift. What are 5100's, and what would I use on the rear with these?

 

I always suggest this article when people ask this question. I'm learning too and this helped me a lot.

Finished up installing the new bumper this morning .
Wired up the winch and adjusted the height of the bumper. Swapped back to my heavy duty springs up front . I also ditched the sway bar while I was in there.

 

Looks great

 

And you need a longer garage! LOL

 

Damn. Now I have to have one. I though he only made them for the autos

 

No a 2018 Honda CR-V, EX, FWD. Yeah it is time to move on.

"In Honda I trust"

 

I know I have to roll it in by hand lol .
