What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good. I can understand the shocks, but why the air bags?

 

I chose to go with shocks and airbags for a couple reasons. First, I wanted to upgrade the shocks from the stock TRD Sport Shocks, I chose the 2.5 rears with resi’s because in the front I will be adding 2.5 Resi adjustable coil overs from Icon, I want to level the truck. Stock the truck has a slight rake and when I loaded the bed with my rack, the rooftop tent, plus all the camping gear, and people the truck sat low and squatted. Secondly, now the truck is level, when I load it up it will sag a little in the back, so I can now use the airbags to level the truck again. With the air bags I installed a Daystar cradle system to allow the airbag to not be anchored to the axle giving your axle freedom to articulate. I don’t do much extreme rock crawling but I would like the articulation if I need it trying to get to a camp spot. I’m planning on towing a small jet boat and jet ski too aside from camping. The airbags will help with the rear when towing. Finally, on the daily my truck isn’t loaded with all the gear, I didn’t want to do an add-a-leaf or leaf pack and constantly have a stiff ride in the rear. Hopes that make sense. At least it does to me.

 

Put some "string" LED's in my camper shell. Before and after.

 

Thanks!. I'm at 125k now. No issues other than the typical timing cover leak that virtually ever 2GR motor will get. The dealer had the gull to quote me $3400 to fig it.

 

Welcome to TW Bud!

 

Nice. I've got a topper on order and will need to do something similar. What setup did you use?

 

I'll have to do some research on that. It's been awhile. Will get back to you. I believe that I got it (one) string at Pep Boys? Hooked it into the OEM bed light that came with the cap. Power all the time. I also have a carpeted cap. Velcroed to the carpet. edit: By power on all the time I mean I have a switch that is hot. On/Off.

 

I rewired my low profile raptors to switch from the marker lights. Previously I had them toggle with the fog because the wires were much easier to get at, but I’d neglected to remember they’d dim on hi, so it was a beautiful night out to do a fix up.

Looks good! Crazy how much nicer things are lit up!

 

The new set up

 

What Tire size did you install? No issue with the police about the tires being past the fenders?
How did you make the LED around the headlamp red?

 

Are those really red DRLs?

If so, that's unfortunate.

 

I went from 265/75/17 to 285/65/18
None so far and rgb boards when I did my retrofit

 

RGB boards

 

Re: RGB boards. Well that needs an install description with pics.

 

Ah, okay, I had forgotten about that possibility.

Yes. Let us know how it works out! I'm planning to try out the same...

 

Nice Blueberry!

 

Unfortunately no games i am going to be able to make it to this year. Looking forward to next season and the start of the Myles Brennan and the spread offense. I like the fight in Joe burrow though. Kid has heart.
