What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

FINALLY, wired my compressor with a 2 gallon tank everything works, it’s awesome love it

 

Thanks man! Yeah I’ve done a few things to make it look unique to me. I liked the Sport look mainly for the hood haha. But the hoods not even functional, not until I cut open the back part

I’ve got 265/70r17 tires on it. They’re Faken Wildpeaks and so far so good! About 4K miles on them. The lift is Bilstein 5100s all around, with Old Man Emu 887 springs up front and Headstrong Offroad 3-leaf AAL in the rear. I haven’t done my after measurements yet but it should be about 2” all around.

 

No problems with alignment? I thought the conventional wisdom was when you go over 1-1/2" lift, it's time to start thinking about UCAs.

<edit> Oh, and did you notice any difference in ride/handling with those new springs front and rear?

 

I thought if I made her a favorite, I might be a good son and call more often... hasn’t worked out as planned.

 

How’s the ride in town? Heard some of the lifts make it harsher in town but better off road.

 

Nice area. Didn't have my Taco when I went but would love to go back and drive on the beach there.

 

Bob, is that you....lol

 

Yes 100 percent true very early to be seeing the amount of bears I'm seeing, I have a family of bears that comes thru at dusk when its garbage pick up day every other week , I actually enjoy seeing them , for the last 5 to 6 years they had a hint up here by me to thin the heard I guess , I've seen alot less bears then I used to but this August seems to be very active. il get a few pics for you next time I see them , I think you will be impressed with the size of a upper north jersey bear

 

Been retired for 13 yrs now and we do both; six months in Colorado and half a dozen in Arizona.

 

Been giving that some thought as well.

 

Dude. You already live in one of the best year round climates in the US.

 

Took her home from the dealership and the first thing I did was remove that terrible chin spoiler. Looks like it's lifted already!
Also put 303 aerospace protectant on all the plastics and rubbers. Wash and ceramic coating coming tomorrow!

 

Herpa-derped the caps. Adios chrome!

 

Conventional wisdom?! You calling me dumb haha jk. What I was told from Marie at Headstrong was that for 2” or less on my generation it should be okay, so for now I’ll stick with it as is. Alignment came out okay, drivers side caster was close to borderline so if it gets to the point where it’s not aligning right I might need to bite the bullet and get UCAs.

I’ve only done about 10-15 miles on the new set-up so far, so not a lot of info for good feedback. The difference isn’t drastic enough that I can tell you something now. I’d at least say so far so good!

 

I added a Body Armor Hiline Series bumper this afternoon. Fitment came out great and I’m really impressed overall

 

Thanks man!

 

Looks great, man! I debadged my MGM Taco and I think I prefer it that way. However, I really like black badges on cement/sand(is that what it’s called lol). It really pops with those colors. Nice ride!

 

I’ve had mine on for a couple of months now and I am liking it more and more. What do you think about yours?

 

Thanks! Love the stance too!!

 

Yeah I agree, those two colors look good with the black accents, the other colors look good on their own. My wife’s RAV4 is the MGM and my car before this was a similar gray. I figured I’d switch it up, and I’m loving it so far! Yours is looking real nice as well!
