What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed an Amp Research Bedxtender on Monday. Bought off Amazon. Thinking about picking up an OEM bedmat tomorrow

 

Yes. No V6 badge is on the vehicle while in the middle of the line when the fluids are placed.
So, must be a 4 banger! Gets less fluid!

Badges and trim placed on vehicle at the end of line?

“Badges? We don’t need no stinking Batches!” From the movie ‘Blazing Saddles’

Or something like that.

 

New UCAs and OME 886s today.

63 swap tomorrow....

 

If you’re still talking about it days later, then it’s a classic!

Next month, next year. Hall of fame!!!

 

Where did you get the skid plate and hook from? Looks good.

 

Plasti-Dip'd my badges. V6 one didn't turn out, going to have to redo it tomorrow. Kind of disappointed in how the "middle" of the letters turned out too. It breaks away pretty rough. I used a plastic fork to "pick" it out...any ideas on how to make it better?

 

Use a toothpick and pick at one corner until you can pinch/grab it and it should pull off the rest.

 

Looks great, where can I get the vinyl wraps?

 

Very sweet Taco !!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I've been thinking about that same tonneau cover & MBRP exhaust.

I'd love to hear more about the installation of both.

 

Well said !!!!







Dilly, Dilly............

 

The cover was a piece of cake, you basically slide a couple of supports into the bed rail and attach the cover to it. It’s super easy to flip back too.

Exhaust was also easy, couple of bolts off, remove existing, and replace. I didn’t get a tip for the exhaust. It did take me a couple hours, but it was nice out and I had had a couple beers.

 

Getting a load of tile fir two bathrooms

 

2nd Gen 5100’s
888 Coils set at zero
SPC UCA’s
Full Dakar Medium Packs
Extended Brake Lines
Driveshaft Spacer
ECGS Clamshell bushing install.
6hrs on the dot start to finish.

EDIT: Wheels, tires and alignment being done as we speak. Going for 285/70r17 KO2s load range C.
On the initial 1 1/2 hr drive home I loved the way the truck felt. It’s a 2016 with 45k miles on the stock OR suspension.
It doesn’t feel too stiff at all but stiffer if that makes sense? It took away a ton of body roll I didn’t even really notice I had before. Can’t wait to get these tires on! Hopefully I don’t rub like crazy.
Ground to center of fender before and after measurements on stock wheels and tires.

 

Very quick especially without a lift..

 

It was non stop. Watched a ton of videos and read a lot on here before hand and had all my stuff together and tools.
The guy in the photo is my good buddy and boss, Chad. He’s a local hero, dude can work! Haha.

 

Flashed my ECU and TCU to OVTune 1.03! Now my Taco runs like the beast it should have been from the factory. Thank you Mat!!!

Get some!!!

 

What's new in 1.03. I lost track in that thread and now probably 400 posts behind.

 

I mounted and balanced new tires today.. I'll do the alignment here in a bit. 255/85/16 Cooper s/t max

 

Now that is a bare taco! Looks like you need my bedside decal to spice’n it up a bit!



Looking good tho!
