What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thank you.

Im sorry to be picky, but do you have one with the front wheels straight? I am trying to gauge your stance. Seems like you got a good bit of rake.

Are the 5100s set a 0?

 

I only have a bit of a rake because I kept the overload spring on the back which gives you an additional 1/2" at the rear. I also have 1-1/4" Spidertrax Spacers on my truck, which looks like I am going to have to remove them as at full turn and going over curbs, I am still hitting the inside trim of the front wheel wells. As for a pic of the front, I did not take one as I did not like the look of the frontal lobe.

 

Yes. The result is the same flash from either T-SB.

 

Im trying to decide whether keep the overload or not. Want a bit of rake but not more than 1”.

I meant another side shot, with the front wheels straight. To better view your stance.

What size tires do you have?

Id keep the spacers and just trim a bit if I was you. Spacers help your stance / look. A lil’ trimming never hurt nobody!

 

What dealership do you go to for service? Tonkin said they would do mine, but I didn't have time that day so I gotta reschedule.

 

I have 265/70r17, I got them before I did the suspension so I'll keep them for now until they are done and then go 285

 

Just schedule a Saturday appt to have T-SB-0077-16 ran. Fingers crossed...

 

Perfect.

Thanks.

 

Is that Antioch Rd in New Bern?

 

Got a chance to do some riding today..

 

Beaverton Toyota is the closest to me, but I'll hit up Toyota of Portland every once in a while.

 

Two sexy beasts right there !!!!!!!!

Sorta what I was worrying about.


I now am more acclimate to my new abilities.....time to make the most of them.

Great question....was wondering the same thing after seeing one of these the other day in a parking lot.

Bamsucka !!!! There it is.

Thank you !!!!

Can you post some close-ups of those when you get time ?


I'm not up to speed on such.

Solid plan.....was originally thinking I'd go to the stealership for oil changes every 5K.....but my last couple experiences haven't been really spectacular.

I'm liking the sound of a D-I-Y program, but not a fan of the small aperture for the filter access on my stock plate. Looking forward to seeing how you address this.

Spent a few days out that way many moons ago.

Had a delicious porterhouse at the Ruth's Chris there one evening. Opened my eyes to "next level steaks".

 

And they are in.

 

So I just noticed that there is an audible beep when I put it in park. Definitely not a squeak. The parking brake does engage and everything checks out as normal, but I've never had this happen before that I know of.

 

Parked next to another generation.....

 

Got it thanks

 

Still making some minor mods since picking it up a couple of weeks ago. Added a vinyl decal to the hood to satisfy my fake scoop envy, faux pro grill, toyota bed mat, Meso led turn signals and added a no-drill license front plate bracket. Once I replenish some funds I want to get a bakflip bed cover, tint the front windows, and man are those 17" pro matte wheels calling my name...

 

See posts 101739 and 101743 in this thread. This may address your concerns..........

See post 101744 for link to TSB's.

Hope this helps.

 

I've done a lot of looking and comparing the various skid plates out there and have pretty much decided on the RCI Aluminum Skid Plate. It's relatively light weight but thick. The access hole for the filter is of decent size and because it's aluminum it's low maintenance. When you put those three things together it says winner, for me anyways. As for the filter cover itself the Jowett Performance looks much heftier and combined with the Fumoto Valve and a short piece of clear vinyl tubing it's clean and simplistic.
Now it's just a matter of 20k miles and some dollars and (sense) cents.
