What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Over the last 2 weeks I did the Rough Country 3in leveling lift and added new rims and tires MOD. Toyo Open Country 285/70R17 on 17"7XD128 Machete Satin Black Rims.

 

Back to stock tires! Crazy how much less stress the motor/tranny is under. Mpg back up to 18-20mpg. 315s ordered soon, now that 5.29s are on the way.

285s + Ray10 for sale local.


Time to start even more cutting

 

This and no looking back!

World of a difference and I just think it's mandatory!

Any mpg loss is worth it.

Air dam delete that is...

 

Just picked up a 2020 grill for a great price. But it looks like the bezel and grill are now one piece instead of two, can anyone confirm?

Edit: looks like that's a yes by looking at the BST forum.

 

Installed a tailgate seal,

$28 ESI Ultimate Tailgate Seal with Taper Seal 10ft for use with Truck Caps and Tonneau Covers

ESI P/N UTGS-10R:



It's the same part sold by Extang as MaxSeal P/N 1140.

 

Slip-on silicone rings for the knobs, totally worth it!

 

Yes! I was also thinking skateboard tape would be cool also...

 

Put my 3D Maxspider mats in the front. The all weather ones that came with it are just too much to keep clean. I like these much more.

 

Long overdue - RCI 3/16” skid (steel).

Easiest mod I’ve ever done to this Taco, took me 10 min MAX. 6 bolts and aligns PERFECTLY with mounting points. RCI did a damn good job. Doesn’t get any simpler than that.

I know (some) people don’t want the extra 47lbs from a steel skid, but take off your sway bar, the shitty stock “skid plate,” brackets, etc and you’re maybe 10-15lbs over stock after that.

 

Copy that. Good luck with the installation.

 

Installed my analog sand bag anti-slide device.

 

I was thinking about doing the same thing, but in the back end of my bed.
But I worried about them becoming missiles if I get into a front end collision.

 

Can flip it over and put it back there. I decided against putting in the back because it might fishtail

 

Uh, you'd have to dig a much deeper hole to "put it back where it came from." Doing that you're just going to contaminate the ground water.

 

I bet that's against the law in California.

 

Yes it is and every other state that has folks smarter than a sack of potatoes as well.
