What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I am with you on that. Maybe a Fumoto on the filter housing ? I haven't figured out how to beat that messy filter drain either. Still don't understand why they didn't carry over the 4.0 top filter design to the 3rd gen.

 

Do you know if the TRD Pro skid plate works with this bumper?

 

Looks good man! I would go with the victory bed rack as well but I wanted to use the tonneau cover so i went with KB Voodoo. I used my smittybilt a couple weeks ago in the San Juans and it is so easy to set up and best sleep ive had camping.

 

Nice setup!

 

Painted those ugly chrome AC vent rings satin black

 

Thanks man!

 

Yes it does. The other couple people I know of running this bumper have a Pro skid and it's a perfect fit. That's next on my list lol

 

How do you like those KB Voodoo under-tonneau brackets? I’m lookin’ at doing the same, as soon as I can - but for now just using the bars and a safari basket. Tonneau cover’s a must up here, in Toronto, Canada.

 

There’s an idea! Damn! I’m so used to painting fixtures for my house, I guess I just thought the chrome wouldn’t come off easily. Did it?

 

Look here. Did this on mine. First oil change since installing it, and not a drop spilled. It is a different size Fumoto valve than what you use on the truck, so pay attention to that, and you'll have to order a drill bit and tap for that size if you don't have access to one. The post also mentions machining the lip on the bottom, but I took a Dremel to it with a sanding bit and did a good enough job.

hell yeah! might have to look at this a little closer when 90k comes around.

thanks for the heads up!

Here's the screws I was talking about.

 

This is what I found,

$21 JDT Oil Drain Tool for Toyota and Lexus, Silver Metal, Fit for 2.5L-5.7L Engine with Cartridge Oil Filter Caps, 1 Pack

Change the stock 7x16 to Vision Fury 8.5x18 with 165/60 18 cooper skins

 

How does that work with the OEM filter housing? Or do you replace it with a different one?

 

OUCH! Looks like body shop time.

 

Installed my SSO Hybrid with a Smittybilt X20 today! Love the clean low profile look of this bumper, sweet!

 

Do you have a pic of this in full? I removed my decals but am interested in how it looks in full. Removed my badges though so not sure that decal would look good

 

Didn't actually do anything to it but I did use it to bring these home today.
