What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Very nice. Looks sharp against the cement color.

Gotta say, I miss seeing the Florida license plate! Don't see too many of them around here.

 

Thanks! Tires are 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks. Wheel size is 17x8.5, 0 offset. That wheel size widened my stance almost an inch from the SEMA wheels.

 

I would be interested in getting colour coded boots. What about an arm rest cover?

 

I would like to remove the 3rd gen TRD stickers from the box and install the 1st gen TRD sticker in chrome vinyl. Any tips/ tricks of how to successfully remove the stickers?

 

What did you use to remove the paint, without messing up the plastic?
Thanks.

 

That I don't know. Auto paint shop did the painting.

 

We had a AMF factory in Olney, IL. back when I was a little shit head. My dad and uncle worked there so AMF products is all I had.

I even bought a 1978 AMF Roadmaster moped with the money I made on my paper routes. They were made in Olney also. My grandpa bought one at the same time I did. They were some of the 1st to roll off the line.

 

Ok, thanks.

Thanks for the info, truck looks great.

 

Sweet!

 

Are you talking about the stickers on the bed sides?

 

Heat up the vinyl with a hairdryer (or the sun for a few hours), pick a corner of the vinyl and peel away from the bedside. Clean up residual glue with Goo-Gone. Wash excess Goo-Gone away with soap/water rinse. Apply new vinyl per instructions.

 

Before and after...
Installed rough country 2” leveling spacer. Did 1.5” wheel spacers in the front, and 1.25” spacers in the back.

 

You had a motor? You were styling my friend!

 

Looks good! Welcome to TW!

 

Looks good.. Do you mind posting a front or back picture of your truck, to see how the tires look with the wheel spacer? i have the same wheels and tires, and contemplating installing a 1.5" wheel spacer.
Thanks,

 

About $90 for the piece of aluminum.
Luckily I didn’t have to buy a full 4‘ x 8‘ sheet. They had some remnants laying around. No other cost than that. Just the tools to do the job and I used the old screws that held the old panel on.
Took about two hours.

 

dry lake bed!

 

The cool kids in my neighborhood would take a beat-up Schwinn Stingray, slap a horizontal shaft mower motor in the frame. and run a belt to a pulley that replaced the rear sprocket.

I did a GIS for one of these things. Only pics I found of homemade motor bikes were WAAAYYY too nicely done. Feel like a little piece of American motoring history had been lost.
