What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey @ZYBORG, @StayinStock, @sdsurfer, @Rokyr,

Per the tire size convo: I have OME 2" lift and am thinking about 285/70R17s (BFG KO2) with black TRD PROs. Any idea if I would need to be worried about rubbing with those? Thanks in advance!

 

Bwahahahaha

 

Bruh, that truck needs two spaces, bruh! Too much bro-sauce for one spot.

Since your wheel’s offset is not too aggressive, I would not anticipate too much trouble. Nothing an alignment and minor trimming would not fix.

You do foresee some rubbing still, even with the 2” lift.

 

Probably will have some rubbing. Likely need to trim some of the plastic and potentially do a CMC. However, depending on your alignment specs you may get lucky and not have a rubbing issue.

 

Thanks both! Forgive my ignorance (still a newb): CMC?

 

cab mount chop. If you don't want rubbin', you gotta get cuttin'.

 

I just put some Nitto Ridge Grapplers on my truck. Here's what I did so far:

3/2 leveling kit
kicker speaker upgrade with subaru tweeters and a kicker hideaway sub
2 in wheel spacers
nitto ridge grapplers 285 70 17

that's pretty much it. I'll probably add another kick hideaway under the driver seat because I'm a big fan of deep bass

 

Cab mount chop. It requires removing some of the metal behind the front tires (near where the mud flaps attach) and welding a small plate to cover the open space created from the trimming. It is not too expensive and looks OEM after the trimming if done by someone with experience.

 

Lol. Roger that.

 

Finally decided to remove my predator steps today and installed my RCI rock sliders (standard 20 degree angle) that I have had for a few months. Took about 2 hours to install by myself after spending a good amount of time researching how to install them.

I also sprayed fluid film all over the part of the sliders that contact the frame and sprayed more on the rest of the frame.

 

With the 2” lift and maxed out caster, you can likely avoid having to do a CMC.

 

Caster being the angle of the dangle for the wheels?

 

Yes.

 

Added Coverking seat covers. Did I ever mention I dislike leather?

 

I also added a Toyota accessory rail to the tool box.

 

Have removed the black plastic sticker on the hood. Looks cleaner now.

 

Question...

(I posted about this yesterday.) With your seat covers, did you have to unfasten the "coin catcher" material between the seat and the seat back. If so, what did you do with the sewn-on plastic piece from under the seat?

 

Wow. I did not know that plastic piece was a coin catcher but makes sense.

So, here is how I will explain it.

1. I tucked the straps between the seats. There is a tool that help push it.
2. The strap slides between the seats, along the coin catcher and then pops out without any disassembly.
3. Once out fish forward,
4. buckle.
5. Align
   
6. Pull strap from rear of seat to tighten.
7. Tie off extra strap.

 

Ah. Sound like your covers are made differently from the Wet Okoles I'm trying to install. On mine, the bottom of the front of the seat back cover slips between the seat and seat back and velcroes to the back of the cover (in theory). Thanks!
