What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good from here. I concur with the R/W/B option, but the matte looks good too!

 

My OCD wouldn't let me do this... Back in the day If you liked 2 sets of wheels and couldn't decide in the import crowd, they used to put 2 different wheels on a car, one set on the left one on the right... I couldn't do it... O....C....D.... I am getting a headache even thinking about it.

 

Seems like a great way to do a meet-n-greet. There are something like a half dozen distilleries in Nelson county alone. Maybe more.

 

Good thing, we're staying at your place.

 

@SCJeffro

Nah, you don't really have OCD, you just think that you do.

If you REALLY had OCD you'd be spelling it properly.

 

Finally ordered a new suspension for my '17 Taco DCLB! Ironman 4X4 had a pretty good deal for black friday at $899 for the full kit, I couldn't resist. Planning on installing it mid-December, but I have a question if anyone could shine some light. Do I NEED to change my UCA with the new suspension? I mainly commute with my truck and once in awhile (every other month or so) when I have time, I'll go hit some light trails. So with that in mind, would I be fine just keeping my stock UCA with the new suspension? Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving y'all.

 

You better hope my RTT is on by then!

 

Just daily driving it.

It does not make up for the lack of torque, but it does make the truck easier to drive... meaning that I don't have to stroke the pedal to the floor every few minutes to get it moving.

I only use about the first 1" of pedal travel now... which also makes it feel like it downshifts alot sooner/more frequently.

After having it in a few weeks... I'm still happy with it... but havent changed my opinion that Toyota screwed up royally with this clusterfuck mismatch of engine and trans combination.

Once I have ample equity in it, I will trade it for something I actually enjoy driving again.

 

I don't notice any difference... as I dont use ECO mode. The truck is enough of a pig as it is.

I prefer the better gas pedal feel with less input from my right foot.

 

Thanks. Appreciate it. I'm still on the fence. LOL

 

I just installed my n2 remote start, took all of 10 minutes and you only need to remove 1 panel around the steering wheel. It might of been easier to remove the knee panel, but it was just fine with only the steering wheel trim panel.

 

Probably should but it kind of depends on how high you are going. If its over 2" just do it...While you have it all tore down. Wish i would have , Ive gotta get UCA's and I thought i wouldnt have to.

 

This is me all the way. My wife, kids, and co-workers laugh about it. But my way works!

 

Guilty! While waiting on one of the free services on my AG FJ, I was caught looking at the 4Runner. Told them my car is inside, make an offer. They offered me the same price I paid a year prior. So for the price of sales tax, I put 18k on the truck and traded it a year later. I sometimes regret not changing my own oil that time. It was a cool FJ, then they stopped making them.

 

Those damn FJ’s hold there value at 92.4% retention rate. It’s ABSOLUTLY crazy.

 

Had my BP-51 ride height adjusted from 5mm up to 13mm (1”) and had an alignment done today. Hope this will stop the minor rubbing I was experiencing and so far, so good!

Plan to take her out this weekend to confirm, was really hoping I wouldn’t need to do any trimming.

 

Nice. I’ve been looking into these but not sure I trust myself enough on the install so may just get one through a local place around here.

 

Modified the bed cleats to work with the Leitner ACS

 

My gumball shift knob arrived today but it didn't come with any instructions. Anybody know of any or maybe a utube video? I've searched utube but can't find anything that looks applicable. I'm hoping it's straight forward but with mu luck there'll be a FF involved that will cause me grief.

TIA

BTW, it's from SickSpeed. Somewhere in this massive thread somebody did it. Hello somebody, are you out there??

 

i started my truck off with a Sickspeed knob. what are you trying to do that needs help?
