What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like it. Is that cutout a place to put your ice chest when it is slid all the way in and a cook station when it's out?

 

That is exactly right, good point.

As far as SEA goes tho, it would take about a year to get 2000 miles logged in.

 

Notice the tonneau in the pictures? The tailgate perimeter is the biggest leak path for water.

 

@rrentrop @TVD Vinyl has overlay decals - not listed on the site; have to message him and ask for em.

I received one in a cement grey; it’s essentially a chrome delete for your grille emblem.

unfoetunately, I have to wait for warmer weather to put mine on...

 

They gave right about 2 1/4 inches of lift, they are a little firmer, not in a bad way. The truck feels more planted and for sure has less axle wrap/slop. And the biggest benefit is they don’t bottom out like the stock springs. I had stock springs, then the icon 3 leaf AAL, and now these. So much better now.

 

Took her out to Valley of Fire
Beautiful day
First off-road ride with the new lift
Next mod tires

 

Today I swapped my mirror caps from chrome to quicksand. Also installed MESO turn signals. Subtle, but super clean.

 

Tailgate seal prevent dust from entering the bed when you have a tonneau cover or camper shell.

 

nailed it!

 

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...

Metra 82-8146 Speaker Mounting Brackets 6x9 (2-Pack)

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?
