What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That's a good question. Hopefully they at least have Fat Tire Ale.

 

Nice! Like your lift and wheels. Are you changing out the fender flares? I went for the vinyl stickers over the plastic inserts. I like them both but I had more faith in my ability to get them on straight with a wet application on the vinyl.

Gotta love the quicksand.

 

Not today, but finally got my suspension upgraded thanks to some good friends in the area.

 

Looks really good.

You've got the cleanest 3rd Gen I've seen in ages......just look at that rear glass !!!!

Those look really good.

Loving the 3D aspect of those letters. When I bought my SR5....it came down to two finalists.......the black.....and the Quicksand.


I've often rethought my decision. I really like the QS.

Oh yeah......we have Fat Tire Ale available at almost every grocery store.




Never seen the 805 suds, though.

 

Where did you get it and how much? I need one but don't want to pay over 100$ for it.

 

I like a little rake rather than a nose up, but yeah, you'rs is just a tad high in the back. I'd give it a few months... I bet it will settle in.

 

Looks good to me. I like the silver/gray wheels with MGM.

 

No 805?

 

finished 887 and rear aal install, tinted fogs, shackle mount up front

 

HAHA exactly!

 

That single shackle would drive me nuts. I'd have to figure out a way to balance it on the other side. For the same reason of this guy...

Thanks man. I already did change it. Just broke a few clips and ordered them from Toyota. So had to pop them back out

 

its unsafe to snatch from the driver side in case the cable snaps..i also like the look of a single shackle up front, the front of my truck is not a face so i am ok with the lack of symmetry.

 

Combined with the new leaf pack, I felt like there was a mile more droop. So much that I couldn't re-attach the e-brake guides until the truck was off the lift and under it's own weight. Still a bit concerned about the amount of tension the e-brake line has during extension.

 

I like a little rake too. Initially I thought I may have made a mistake going with 887 springs instead of 888's in the front. I'll keep a some weight in the back until I get a cap to help with ride/break in. Time will tell.

 

i left that bracket disconnected and zip tied it to the front bracket so it doesnt wiggle around..i didnt want to potentially tear a line when flexing. my rear lifted 1.5"

 

Sorry.

Wrong forum.


Wouldn't want the self imposed forum police to step in talk their trash.


Diverted to correct spot.

 

A good set of line wrenches is worth their weight in gold.

 

Got the flag mounts painted and onto the prinsu today! Just in time for the 4th!

 

I had the same concern and had the same solution. One of the headstrong guys told me you can actually pull some slack from the front trough. I haven’t done it yet but plan on trying it. If that doesn’t work I may fab up a relocation bracket for which shouldn’t be too hard to do.

Edit: just tried this but no luck. Not sure where there would be slack. Everything looks right to me. I was originally thinking the problem was that I had the brake on when we were installing but now think that doesn’t matter. Anyone else run into this?
