What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ummmm yeah, absolutely no way a broken shock caused all that. The more likely scenario is, dude doesn't tighten u-bolts, axle comes loose, then breaks shocks as it is ejecting itself from under the vehicle.. Anyone that thinks a broken shock would cause this, clearing needs to go back to school.

 

I don't think the instagram account that was posted above is the owner/driver of the wrecked truck. Just a witness. Seems like they both drive 3rd gens though.

 

Ubolt flip kit gone wrong. haha

 

Just saw the video.. Wow, what a bunch of idiots. Could have easily been prevented but nobody bothered to tell the guy winching to stop. Just sat back and watched it happen while recording it on their phone. Dude needs some new friends that care more about getting him off the trail safely than filming the incident for their IG

edit. aaaand confirmed. Definitely NOT caused by a broken shock. Of course, didn't take rocket science to figure that one out. Sorry @tacotroy17

 

Sadly, all too common. At least no one's life was in danger.

 

It's not that IG user's truck that is busted

 

Extended rear diff breather. Took 5 min.

 

Part #'s on the breather and threaded nipple?

 

Im lazy so I just purchased kit like this one for 19.99 on a website somewhere then got two 5/8” hose clamps. Used a 1/2” drill bit for side housing.

REMOVED: Debadged, but debating on taking off the TRD Sport decals.. took off the wind deflector under the front bumper..

ADDED: Weather tech window deflectors, hondo garage radio knobs, truck cover USA tonneau cover, 5% tint in rear, 20% up front (wanting it darker now)

ON THE WAY: @mattgecko bed lights

Pictures to come!

 

Got my headlights done from @kustom54lighting
RX350 projectors with Morimoto 6500k HID kit. Great quality so far and workmanship.

 

That's a good price compared to buying parts separately:

$8 Toyota Breather Plug - 90930-03136

$7 Toyota Genuine Parts - Union (90404-51319)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P2S0TKQ

The tube that I bought was $6.99 at Lowes.

 

He was advised according to the witness and ignored good advice apparently. Had a plan and was sticking to it. This was from the witness comments on the ig account of the witness. Go look in the WTF thread.

 

Yeah, just read through the comments. Sounded like the guy was a real ass. Nonetheless, someone should have stepped in and shut the fuckery down before this happened. But as they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

 

I seem to recall hearing a story like that...

 

Where's the video?

Edit: NM

 

Looks awesome. Should have mine in a couple weeks? Almost the same but angry eyes and couple custom parts.

 

Totally agreed

 

Thanks! I hope you get them soon! You have definitely earned them lol. I thought about angry eyes but I like the more basic look. The only thing I wish I would have done is the switchback DRLs those look amazing.

 

Well they were going to start today but received wrong parts.........but all is good. Maybe end of week? Stuff happens...
