What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have a shell and the tailgate seal works great against dust! I drive on dirt roads almost daily and the tailgate seal in combination with sealing off the bed cubbys and using silicone in all the gaps has made my bed probably 90% dust free.

 

Awesome choice, I ordered the same Kickers's from crutchfield.ca still waiting for them to arrive...

Not much going on with the Taco.

We aren’t exactly Toyota Fanboys, but somehow we ended up with another Toyota in our driveway. My son ended up choosing to go with a 1st Gen Tundra. Typical teen truck right?

 

Not going to argue against you since it doesn't snow much here. Someone with a better grasp of physics help me understand this. Given a beam resting on two points. Wouldn't you have to overcome the entirety of the moment forward of the first point by adding weight behind the second before you reduced the weight on the forward resting point? Two hundred pounds of sand a foot behind the rear axle isn't going to displace the engine weight. Right? I mean if i stand on my bumper the front shocks compress slightly. They don't release any. What am i missing?

 

My neighbor just got that exact grill. I have about three pounds of deer jerky now thanks to him. You'll love it!

 

How do you like your Pedal Commander so far?

 

Weight placed behind the rear axle has a similar effect as when towing a trailer. With a trailer you are placing weight behind the rear axle via the hitch. The more weight you place on the hitch (tongue weight), the more the weight of the vehicle shifts from all wheels to the rear wheels which begins to lift the weight from the front and reduces front tire traction. Thus why heavier trailers require either load equalizers or fifth wheel hitches (fifth wheel hitches place the tongue weight directly over the rear axle).

 

Good choice. I had a 2002. Best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I wish Toyota would bring that body style back as the new T100!

 

I think some knew it then. They just didn't give a S**T cause it cost money to dispose of properly.

 

Looks like it will work perfectly. What goes in the cut-out?

 

We dig it. I drove it today, gotta say it the perfect size for a daily driver

 

Prepare to die!!

 

Looks like the door sill protector is redesigned on the 20s

Your spacers didn’t have studs with included nuts? I have 1.25 and had no issues- spider (something) has studs and nuts. I wouldn’t ever put on an actual Spacer that uses the stock studs

 

The spacers I bough came with mounting nuts. The issue was the OEM lock nuts were not deep enough to accommodate the studs that were on the spacers. I ended up splitting them so I had to purchase new lock nuts.

 

my cooler now I just need to figure out crossbars I can use with my cover

 

So the studs we’re basically to long? Glad I didn’t have that issue but when I was researching the best 2 brands were borla and spidertrac (I think that’s the name)

 

Ahh, I didn’t know that. I just looked on a local Toyota dealership parts site and found these. Part#

$45 PT7473520102 Genuine Toyota Parts - Door Sill Dcab Taco (PT747-35201-02), Black

PT7473520102 if anyone is curious about it. The ones for the cab is the Toyota logo.

 

Yes, just if you have OEM locking nuts which came with my 2017 TRD Off Road. Other than that I am quite happy with the wheel spacers. Although I did discover that when I put on my winter tires which are a bit wider than the OEM tires they rub a bit on the mud flaps when turning sharp. But this will be resolved in the spring when I install replacement front shocks that I will lift the front end about 1.5".

 

Stripped the bolt holding the gas cover hinge
Preventing the installation of the Meso gas cap holder. Gonna use some heat to try to get it to budge.
