What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Indeed.

 

Thank You! Really Nice Setup!

 

Tried your suggestion. 2/10, did not go as planned

 

Buy once cry once, drove away with a completely different truck when compared to my stock TRD OR. Bilstein 8100’s, and HD springs all around. Timbren u bolt flip kit, SPC’s, ECGS bushing and 265/75-16 duratracs. Net lift is 2.5” upfront and 2” out back. Better pics when it stops raining. Will need spacers until I get new rims/tires, Duratracs are within a 1/4” of rubbing on uca’s and spindles.

 

Drilled holes

But once I got the Bushwackers bolted on, I felt much better about the decision.



Those fender flares aren't budging!

 

I added this relay system instead of 6 individual switch.

 

I'm on my second Tacoma. My first one was my dream truck (a '96 4x4). I love these trucks but damn...$50k for a Tacoma. I still find that hard to believe. Trucks used to be cheap. Anyone remember the T100? That was about twelve bucks when it was released

 

Estes model paint.

 

Finally!, installed Deaver J66 leafs with new U bolts and bushings. A much needed welcomed upgrade over the Dakar HD's. Especially since I am always unloaded!

Now sits 1.5 inch above stock, unlike before 3 inch lift with dakar HD's

I also removed all bumpstops front and rear to fully cycle suspension travel(stroke), Removing the rear KING Air Bumps made a HUGE difference to ride quality. It know actually feels like it has travel in the rear, no harshness no buck at all. I was very surprised never expected this much of an improvement in the desert. With the KING Rear air bumps I used to only cycle 5 inches of stroke in the rear, now I am cycling all 8.5 inches.

Front bumpstop removal also made it much much smoother, overall its a huge improvement. I am very happy with the results. Big bumps = smile. Granted there is allot of rubbing upfront, remove fender liners, now I have to heavily trim the fenders. Planning to go fiberglass in the future.

 

Added a few more details to my Taco.

 

Got some pinstriping done:

 

Installed my ProForce Onboard Pressurized Water system today. It’s always disconcerting cutting into metal, but I did it, worked slow and methodical and the result was a success.

I also put the RTT back on my Dissent rack for tomorrow’s trip up to Big Lake in NE AZ!

Yesterday was the KTJO pop-N-lock set up.

Both kits were great and easy installs.

Thanks to both of you awesome TW’rs!

 

I had a bunch of Cabela’s bucks to spend so scored some seat covers for my new Tacoma. I usually get Wet Okole, but I like the Kryptek camo patterns so I got these instead. We'll see how they hold up.

 

Switched to black lug nuts.

 

Yeah I know the price of trucks has gotten higher. But I have seen a PRO more expensive than the one I saw yesterday.

 

Nothing like a new outdoor toy

 

$50K?

Oh wait, it has a snorkel. Never mind.

 

Dang those covers look like they are a factory fit.

 

Oh my..

 

Now that you put it this way I’ll buy 2.

I’d still drive it like that.
