What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I watched your vids...but I’m now looking at the “bro lift”. After some time with that suspension and those tires what’re your thoughts... Get the “bro lift”with the tires, or stay stock shocks???...simply for ride quality, not talking looks.(that’s an obvious one)

Oh, and thanks for all your content for us Taco people!!!

 

hey, i follow u on IG

 

Thanks for checking out my YouTube vids!

I lifted my Taco because the hard topper dropped the rear and leveled but also changed the ride for the worse since it compressed the leaf pack. I knew any load would worsen it.

I like the lift and the ride. It's softened up on the roads to close to the stock OR Bilsteins but soaks up the bigger bumps and dips way better as it should.

All in all it's a great upgrade for the price. If you're just on the streets and cool with the stock height... stock suspension will be just fine for ride.

People always asked me what lift I got with the 265/75 so that upgrade alone lifted the taco some.

 

awesome!

Looks like it's gone up $12 since I ordered mine.....

 

You new tires look great on there.

I'm going with the same size when I finally buy new rubber. Having a hard time jettisoning the old tires as they have less than 5K on them and ride really well. Need to get it done before deer season, though.

 

You can’t pump your own gas? Where do you live?

Oregon or New Jersey... though Oregon just approved you to pump your own gas in rural areas (I think that's the stipulation)

 

One year of ownership, I got an email from Toyota asking if I had named it.

Duke Sky
Duke is a real charmer and always signals when pulling into a spot. He is a gentleman, after all. And like a proper gentleman, clean windshields are a must.
While he often daydreams of action-packed chases, he's got a laid-back side he's a little shy about. Taking in a cool breeze through some open windows - now that's the life.

Getting ready for some possible stream crossings on a couple springtime desert trips such as Coyote Canyon in Anza Borrego and the Mojave River on the Mojave Road Trail, so I just installed a rear differential breather and cubby hole covers:

Yeah, I was just at 6K on mine, but I couldn’t help it....street tires bother me, and we have some long travel camping trips scheduled. I won’t poke the bear, plus I can give the stock tires to my Dad and save home some money. That’s called win/win.

 

Do you have the Toyota part number for the TRD skid plate?

Thanks

Did some bulb changes today. Looking forward to when it gets dark so I can see the impact.





Noticeable difference on the maps when I checked after doing the passenger.







Dome wasn't as much of a difference in brightness....will check it tonight to see. I wanted one of MESOJDMN's dome kits, but they were sold out. This 'un will have to do for now.












Did the driver's reverse bulb and stopped to take the pic. I plugged it in and my son was holding the light assembly when I put in reverse (engine off, parking brake set, lol)....."Is it on, buddy ?" "Heck yes it's on....thing is superbright". Music to my ears.

Walking back and looking....even in full daylight it's a noticeable improvement. Hoping it will improve my sight when backing out of the driveway at o'dark'o'clock.

 

Oregon, only in Counties less than 40,000. I live in the mountains population less than 100 but it's Marion county which includes Salem so no dice. Also, those counties that can, only 10pm to 6am. Lol

 

Rear suspension got delivered. Now just waiting on the fronts!

 

It's gonna be pretty rough driving with only 3 wheels!
