What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Ummm duh... HI. Which also supports your use of a pressure washer on the driveway. Only way to get rid of the red dirt and black mold. Lived in Waipahu for just shy of 3 years.

 

No

 

What light bar you order? been looking for one for awhile for my victory rack too.

 

Nope. Definitely needed for the spring clean to get the road salt off the concrete after winter.

 

I don't know, depends on how good your well is... the one thing I don't miss about living in the mountains was during winter time with a crap well. It was bad enough having to pay for your black water to be taken away but when you had to pay for water to be delivered during the winter and then pay for it to be taken away was a double whammy. Waipahu, never been to Oahu, was that recently?

 

Are you retired by chance?

 

Well, not cistern, so no water delivery or recovery. Ours is pretty well established and has been actively used since the 60s. Also only only 17’ so if we needed to go deeper, we easily could.

12’-15’.

 

Winch cutoff switch? Could you explain more? I just got this winch today and I'm assuming this is a 3rd party add-on you're doing

 

I pulled mine a year ago and noticed no change.

 

Lol, yeah its going to be a little party in the rear. I'm doing the dual battery set up and the house battery will be under this cover. Then I can route the power to the rear. Thanks.

Here's mine: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/newbie-winch-wiring-question.649663/page-5#post-22887385

 

Does the winch draw some power even when it's not being used if you don't use a disconnect switch? It looks nice but I'm trying to understand why it's needed

 

Lift/wheels/tires installed today. Lifts on these truck really turn them into something else. Bilstien 5100 shocks with old man emu springs and spc uca up front, Dakar aal in the back. Taco lean spacer also installed. Fuel jm3 17x8.5 -6 offset, falken wildpeak atw3 285/70/17. It’s like a 3” in the front 2” in the the rear with no rubbing with mudflaps off. Next step is sliders!!!

 

Those look like 265/65/16

Might just be the angle

 

Mmmm . . . Sliders!

 

The winch doesn't draw power when it's not being used because it's controlled by solenoids. The main reason for the disconnect switch is the runaway winch scenario in case a solenoid ever becomes stuck "on" (as seen here). But other than that, a disconnect is good for servicing the winch, peace of mind, protection from wires shorting out or in case of an accident.

 

Yeah I guess it’s the angle they’re def not smaller than stock lol. 285/70/17s all day

 

LT or P?

 

Nice! I’ve been loving Picard.

 

Nice looking truck and yeah I bet it’s like a completely new ride.
Question... when you’ve done all that you’ve done I’m presuming you’re not worried about Toyota Warranty issues? For example, something gearbox/drivetrain related. Could and would they deny coverage Because of the wheels/suspension?
I’d love to lift mine but worried for this reason...
