What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Guess I got the premium "Fairy" option too. It's too bad people have to put down what other people have..

 

The 16s dont have leather. That is the one cool feature about the premium pkg in my opinion. Sun roof is definitely a NO GO. Dual zone is totally useless to me, never used it on my other cars. JBL also useless, dont listen to the stereo much.

 

I love my premium tech 16...would not care for the truck as much without it...plus 6k on your baby...don’t waste your time/money/energy.

 

Now time to buy the vinyl inserts for the TRD letters!

 

I rather welcome their insecurities...it’s fun to listen to them cry...if it’s not what they like/have then the world is coming to an end...lmfao...losers. Don’t sweat what the haters my man...they are just big talk...nothing else! Your happy with it...that’s all that matters!

 

1 month and 1K later. Started to add some small touches here and there...

Next up will be wheels/tires and lift! Thanks TW

 

Found a couple older brothers on my first trip up a forest road. Much of the anxiety I've had over my recent purchase was washed away cruising down that road and passing a car that had two people guiding it through a washed out section.

 

Nah, I really don't care. There's just no need for it...I built my truck for me, not for them. If they don't like it, it's there problem not mine. It all good..

 

Sorry, no pics yet, but today I finally ordered my suspension upgrade. I've been thinking about this for a long time and based my decision on my personal needs.

I went with the Bilstein 6112s/5160s w/ Headstrong 3 Leaf AAL, and JBA Std. Upper Control Arms.

 

Those jba uca’s look badass...I was eyeing them for when the time comes

 

They came highly recommended!

 

I found them awhile back and reaserched them quite a bit...seems like an amazing product for not to much scratch my friend

 

Yea, I could have gotten the SPC a little cheaper but I've been told the JBAs have certain advantages over them. I'm only getting a tad over 2" of lift with this kit and likely don't need them but they are insurance in case I do.

I'm pretty stoked.

 

With that low of mileage, I'd stick with the 16. I also had to get the "fairy" premium tech package. I live the moon roof and the wife wanted the dual climate control. Every time she rides with me it gets some use.

1.5k to upgrade 2 years is nice, but i wouldn't say it's worth it. It's pretty much the same truck... being a 3rd gen and all.

 

But the 2019s are gonna have Cavalry Blue as a color option for TRD ORs and Sports!!!!

 

Nothing wrong with them. I do like ICON's. I had ICON's on my Gen2 tacoma as well. I bought the ICON's with 650# coils and when I installed my slimline bumper and winch I lost about 1/2" of lift. Decided to try out the King's with 700# coils. Drove it for a couple days now and I can't decide if I like the King's over ICON or vice versa, but I got my 1/2" of lift back with the 700# coils......

 

Yeah. I think all the haters can go to the T3G website I’m one of those people that when I’m told it’s impossible to do soemething or that will never happen, I work my ass off for it to happen. It’s just extra motivation. Just like this Dual Muffler System. I remember someone very high and mighty telling me that duals on these 3.5 6 cyl trucks sound absolutely terrible. Also, that dual x pipes isn't a thing and/or shouldn’t be even something that you should have custom done. Their last words were, a true dual exhaust would be an absolute waste of time and money and single in dual out is just stupid. Another funny conversation I had with the same person was regarding “tunes”. Tunes are mostly snake oil and more often than not, worth nowhere near the $. They also have minimal gains if any. Last statement again, It's not like we have a de-tuned turbo engine where you can change boost, open the waste-gate later, adjust fuel mapping, etc... You just have to look back and smile

 

@CaliRaisedLed low profile brackets and ditch lights arrived today...stoked with the result. Hardest part was getting the damn nuts on when mounting the lights to the bracket...

 

Looks great. Where did you get the console separator ?.

 

Don’t sweat it. I wish I had leather and a sunroof.
