What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oh heck ya. I wanted to find a reputable local company to avoid shipping costs, have accountability, support local business and actually have a good relationship. Tyler, Satin and their crew are that.

 

I have the 6112 and 5160 setup. I went with the Dakar medium pack. I added a shell and have a drawer/sleeping platform and filled it with camping gear this weekend. It never started to sag. Dakar pack and 5160 ride like a dream. Loaded and unloaded. I had a toytec 3-leaf AAL on my last truck (2015 DCSB) and it rode like hell unloaded. Only time I enjoyed that ride was loaded with building materials. I highly recommend the Dakar pack.

 

Thank you! They’re 265/70r/17 Ko2

 

That is the pack I'll be getting when I get a shell in a few years.
The headstrong AAL rides pretty well imo. Not overly harsh but firm and compliant from the mostly street driving I have done since my install. When I get to Moab end of next month I will be able to put the whole package to the test.

 

I'll be getting the same skid package at some point. You did not get them powedercoated? Um, they look good if not, I might have to do the same and save some monies.

 

Removed OEM TRD Sport 4x4 decals last night. First decal was a little harder than expected. Heated it up with a hair dryer and started peeling, but I got a little impatient and may have pulled it off too quickly. There was a ton of residue that took several coats of Goo Gone and elbow grease to remove. I applied some lessons learned to the 2nd one and it went much better.

I've got some matte black TRD Sport 4x4 decals that I plan to put on later this week, although I must admit the no-decal look is pretty cool too.

 

It saved about $60 in powder coating. It’s under the truck and bound to get banged around so kept it bare.

 

Leave it slick. Keep em guessing

 

Yeah that doesn't bother me. As long as the safety of the truck is fine I'll pull the trigger. Saw some posts about overheating and other damage occurring but I'd never heard of that before. Thanks!

 

I've been looking at these as well. How long have you had them and how to they feel?

I've hear you can tell a difference right away.

 

Just installed scoop light and Baja squadron sports today.

 

Very interested in scoop light over light bar. Details? Links? Looks great!

 

Looks great Jimi!

 

Nice!! Whats the light output like at night time? How hard was the installation? What light bar is that and do you have links??

 

Not OP but I installed them on my truck. Right away the tail gate was much easier to close again and the gaps were reduced. However, over time it seems to have sagged back out. I have to push kind of hard to close my tailgate again and sometimes one side latches and the other doesn't. No difference in driving feel.

They are also kind of obnoxious when it comes to getting stuff in and out of the bed. I am not recommending against them. I fear that all this would have been even worse had I not installed them. But they aren't a perfect solution either.

 

Same here at 10k mile service.....wish I could check it somehow.

 

That's a good idea! About the decals! Can't wait to see the outcome.

 

Love this set up! I am looking at a Leitner Designs cargo rack but I like this set up! Happy with the RTT?

 

Check my build for plasti dip outcome. It looks awesome!

 

I ordered from Steve Hanlon of SpartanXCustoms. There is not currently a web site but you can find him on Instagram. Pm me and I can provide you with his number. That’s how I communicated with him. Install was a breeze. He provides multiple videos and photos of each step. The kit contains everything you need to include drill bits and custom wire ties that attach to underside of the hood to keep the harness secure. In all about 8-10 videos. I installed in about 1hr and that included me messing something up along the way and fixing it. I think he said it’s about 6k lumens but yes I’m interested in seeing the output tonight as well. I’ll definitely post a photo when I’m able to take one. I live in the city so there’s a lot of lights around me but I’ll get one. The kit comes with the switch too and every part of it looks factory. He was selling out his inventory last I read and he was going to create some sort of filter to be able to change the color of the light. Mention TW and he takes $20 off no matter what he is currently selling for. I got for $230 when I purchased.
