What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Awwweee thank you so much for your post and for your business, we truly appreciate it !!

 

Go through your insurance. see what your comprehensive deductible amount is. It will not raise your insurance.

 

GASSHOLE installed today. Not the greatest pic, but I think that you all get the idea. Thank you @mesojdm




SofTopper also arrived today. That will be taken care of over the weekend sometime.

 

That looks great, mind if I ask how much height you gained approximately? And did you pay for installation?

 

Agreed. Blacked out the full length is how I wanted it.

 

Looks so much better in my opinion! Great Job!

 

No I do all my work myself in my garage. Including the ECGS mod. 2 1/4 pretty much all around. Even though I did the 1/4 inch spacer on the front drivers I still have close to 1/8 light taco lean. So the drivers side is roughly 2 1/8 higher. All of my measurements were hub to fender. The tires are so much better than my last 275/70 e loads.. crazy difference. I’ve lifted 3 Tacoma’s of my own and this one by far is the best driving.

 

I got you some things @JerryTaco

 

I'm 90% on road driving and 4x2 so I'm prioritizing a quality ride, if/when I do a lift. I've been eyeing the same parts you installed, but I'm trying to decide if I can handle the installation. I've worked on all the vehicles I've owned, but I've always payed for labor on any suspension related problems. Was it terribly complicated or difficult? It's worth mentioning I only have jacks, stands, and hand tools.

 

Sometimes it's the appropriate tool for the job.

 

MIND BLOWN.

 

Jack stands, jack, torque wrench and some decent sockets... oh and air tools makes things easier too. There are so many install videos out there. There is a guy Rob on this forum that did a great video for the front and rear..I’ll see if I can find it. You can handle it for sure man! Take your time, watch videos before, pre plan and you got it!

@Rob Daman

 

Replaced the tires. Now I've got 285/75R16 Cooper Discoverer AT3. So far in my driving they only rub very slightly at the back. Hopefully I'll be able to get offroad this weekend and really find out.

Got my total chaos bed stiffeners in today! Anyone else have issues with putting the D rings back on??

 

What if I told you he was correct.

 

Did my first mods today:

+ KO2's
+ OEM Tonneau Cover
- Air dam

What's next? I'm thinking dip the rear bumper caps, leveling kit?

 

Thanks man!

Installed my @CaliRaisedLed bed stiffeners. Awesome product. I chose them over the others on the market for their price, but also because they offer the extra mounting point on the inside of the bed. Great feature imho.

Took about 20 minutes once I got tools and the part laid out ready to go.

 

$70 mod today. Upgraded her fuel tank with some liquids
