What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I put the hood on, I just couldn't wait for the paint. I also cut up the old hood to make a scoop for the new hood.

 

On the oem wheels that I used, the center cap and logo is all one plastic piece and there's no way you're pulling it off with your fingers. There's a spring-steel ring that pushes out on a series of fingers around the outside diameter. Once you push that center cap into the wheel, it not going anywhere. I really think that center cap needs to be driven out from behind with a mallet and block.

The powdercoater I took the wheels (with caps in) to managed to remove all 4 without breaking anything.

edit: Just went out there to take a photo. Hadn't noticed before that there's a slot where one could possibly use a right-angle pry tool to pry them off.

 

looks good.

check my vid. It's probably the same problem area I had.

Nice looking Taco! Especially with that backdrop. Did you need spacers with the wheel and tire set up? I still have my set of the same wheels but swapped them out for wheels with a 4.5” backspace to avoid contact with the UCA(s).

 

Thanks! The sand dunes always provide a great background in the evenings!
I’m running 265/75/16’s and never had any issues with rubbing. I put spacers on to gain some of my track width back after the lift.

 

Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Monument? One of my favorite places.

 

It was a long time ago on Amazon but i cannot find it now :/

 

finally got the front leveled and the truck is exactly how i want it to look, cant think of any other mods I want for it right now (im sure this wont last long)

 

Yes sir! Make a trip down there every year around this time!

 

Clean looking Tacoma!

 

Okay thanks. That’s why I with the 4.5” backspace. Afraid of vibration at highway speed with spacers.

 

I’ve had no issues at all with any vibrations at highway speeds. Truck feels very solid and planted.

 

Thanks Brother! I think they are awesome as well!

I got it from this guy I found on facebook. He said he was retired but he still did mine, give him a shout and see if you can talk him into making another.

 

Thought I recognized your rig on Craigslist the other day. Guess you ended up selling them or finding someone to trade your 4runner wheel/tire combo?

 

wtf is a 6th grade graduation?

 

I popped the hood, and got a stiffy. None of this was noted as being there upon purchase, my dealer had to source it from another dealer so I guess the original dealer installed it all. I love free sh!t. Pictured are the TRD intake & radiator cap. Not pictured is the TRD oil cap.

 

Nice! My luck I'd be missing intake & radiator cap.

 

Typically that is my luck too, hence my erection.

 

From yesterday, fun day Sunday with a bit of local wheeling.
