What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ha, yeah I see that on her face often!

 

Finally installed lift this morning. Bilstein 5100 OME 887 with Denver AAL in the rear. Oh yeah and Taco lean spacer. Thank you Marie and Headstrong!

 

Damn, I installed the same lift (with OME shocks) and it took me and a friend 8 hours Haha. You must've been moving fast.

 

Did you get it pre-assembled?

 

Any sound clip you can share?

 

A month in, it's been good. Like the new gadgets (night vision backup cam, PTC heater, adaptive cruise...). Missing the A-pillar grab handle. Stock suspension is better tuned than stock 2nd gen suspension - it comes pre-leveled with no taco lean, and there's less brake dive and less body roll. Powertrain is fine for my driving style - I like to keep the revs up and shift manually.

 

Just installed the prinsu roof rack, Cali raised 42” light bar, i painted the grill with superwrap vinyl spray(onyx black). I replaced my emblems with 2015 Tacoma emblems, also superwraped vinyl sprayed

I also installed backflip Tonneau cover
A year ago.

I installed a 3 inch lift. And got 33 falcons 285/70r17 and race line wheels
You guys are gana hate me but the lift is a rough country lift...

What do you guys think overall??

 

@angelarroyo1014 Looks great!
I have been looking into what lift is the best for budget but does not compromise performance...
How many miles have you put on it with RC so far? RC Lifts (in my experience) are great for old solid-axle 4x4's... not so sure on the Taco's.

Also, did this lift "void" any part of the warranty? I traded my '16 4Runner in for my '18 Taco and got Toyota to let me keep my Platinum 75K service/warranty plan so I don't want to lose that if I don't have to.

Was it difficult removing the factory bed decals?

 

The combo of the grille lights and amber Morimoto fogs looks awesome!

 

First dump run for the new gal...

 

I wouldn’t do it without a heat gun. With a heat gun it was fine.

 

^^ Same. Peel what you can first, if it feels like it’s not gonna give, add just a little heat. Too much and it will leave tons of residue behind. Used WD40 to get the left behind glue, sprayed it on a microfiber. Rinsed the sides when I was done to make sure nothing (glue or WD40) was left behind.

 

I did empty because I have one of these already.

 

Use your time wisely... I highly recommend Jose’s Border Cafe!

 

I haven’t had a problem with the RC yet. I have about 5,000 miles on it so far
As far as voiding the warranty I’m not to sure. I installed some light pods on rocker panel and had some electrical issue (brake override malfunction) the guys at the Tacoma dealership tried blaming my lights and of course said that the after market lights voided my warranty.

 

Damn. Sorry to hear that. Those Toyota dealers can be shifty sometimes, but I've had some great experiences with them too...

 

I threw mine away last week because the console lid would not close with my new cover I put on it.

 

the one you have pictured... if you have coins in the coin tray space and if it isnt full... the coins will flop back and forth when you turn right or left... a nit for sure but I found it annoying.

 

I have this one also, its perfect. i agree that it can be annoying coins flopping around but to avoid it keep it full of quarters. i dont have an issue with the noise
