What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Daddy got a new pair of shoes today. TRD knockoffs in 17x8 +15 offset. Fitted with Falken Wildpeaks in 255/80r17. I don't think these skinny's on an 8" rim look that much narrower than stock.

Big thanks to Matt over at @Discount Tire. He answered all my questions, and responded quickly. Set me up with a great deal, and arranged for install at my local Discount Tire. They had me in and out in 30mins.

@phx taco to answer you question from earlier, these wheels only took a few ounces to balance. I am very pleased with the purchase. Only knock was the sticker for center cap. But worth the savings overall.

Now to sell the old rims, tires, and predator steps to get some sliders. And yes I know it needs to be washed.

 

Installed bed lights last weekend...



Since they were ~6000k they made the interior lights look kind of sick. You know what came next.

 

Couple stickers came in today.

 

How did you get those door pannel inserts out and off?

 

Sweet. Nice color!

 

Hows the ride feel? looking to do the same

 

I have driven by this place at least 1 million times! For some reason, I thought they were an ATV shop haha

 

That set up is so clean. How easy is it to remove and replace the basket?

 

Saw these headlights the other day and they looked sick but had never seen anyone use them. They look sick on your setup! Any issues installing them?

 

Oh, I liked this one the best lol.

 

It looks and I know from the sound this may help.
How much of the door did you wrap?
How many feet did you need?[/QUOTE]


I started out going al the way up the back edge of the back door, but I found it too hard to close the door. When I pulled on the handle it would pop open, which made me think it was too much pressure on the latch. So I just went along the bottom edge. If you do it that way you should be able to do each side with 1 package, I think. Cant say for sure because I initially used more than I needed.

 

Looks awesome on the white truck. That diffused light strip would look out of place on my blacked out MGM though. Your truck looks good.

 

Our parents used to take my siblings and I for haircuts at Waves and/or shoes at PayLess across the street from that off road store. I was always curious about that spot growing up and even up to adulthood when I got haircuts at Waves for nostalgia’s sake. When I got my first 4x4 truck three years ago and got into off-roading & overlanding about two years ago, I knew exactly what store to go check out, Dirty Parts ...and I haven’t been disappointed.

Check them out sometime

 

Blacked out the Tailgate & installed a Pickup Pad DLX.

 

I was sick of having the full size spare taking up up so much space in the bed of the truck so with a little bit of cutting, bending and relocating the spare tire lift and lower thingy I got the 285/75R17 to fit under the bed. Eventually I’ll probably get a bumper so the tire isn’t trapped under the bed when wheeling.

 

Got my @At The Helm front bumper put on and love it! Thanks again Morgan!

 

Thanks for sharing! Recently just got a set of Ridge Grapplers in almost the same size (285/70R17’s) and I wanna do this mod. My other buddy did a relocation of the spare, also, to fit his bigger full size spare but I have yet to see how he did his. Did you have to cut the tail pipe to make the 285/75R17 fit?

 

This is in my future. I was curious if 34 would fit.

 

I had the Hella's in my FJ and loved the way the looked behind the grill but thought they sounded too "European" to me.

 

Grill update day!!!!!
