What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mounted up my new SCS 17x9 F5s with Michelin Defender 265/65/17r tires. No lift. Tiny little rub in reverse. No biggie. Me and Mr. Heatgun will fix that later!

 

Clever and simple way to move the

$659 SP-9100 8-Switch Panel Power System With Concealed Mounting Hardware

SP-9100 out of the way, I'll remember to refer others to this solution . For those who ask "why high lift", once you try it you won't go back - it's like comparing a convertible to a sunroof, one simply lets in much more light and makes access much easier.

And of course those "extra" holes from the Redline brackets will be covered by the fender trim pieces.

That's interesting, at 6'3", my first "encounter" with the 3rd Gen Taco during hood strut prototyping was nailing my temple against the open hood, enough to see stars . Maybe your extra height is an advantage in this case. The 3rd Gen Taco hood height is about 6" lower than the previous gens for some odd reason.

 

Looking great, I've been following along. I love fabrication. I notice you've got solid bracing across the bottom of the camper in the back where I assume it sits on top of the tailgate. Won't that limit what size cargo you can load in? Just wondering.

 

After 6 months of being in the basement, finally got my SCS wheels mounted with some LT255/85r16 KM3’s.
Gotta trim a little plastic as expected..

 

Yes, it is the Body Armor bumper. Install was pretty easy. It took me about 3 hours total.

 

Great catch. I kept it there while welding so it would not shrink or expand. I'm putting it on the truck in a day or so and will cut it off then, or right after paint. I still have to put on the anchors to the bed.
Thanks

A few more @MESO items... Red TRD start/stop button, black climate control rings, small switch blank.

 

I like the black plate. It looks like they are $35-$50 per year, depending on how many years you pay for. Was that the story with yours?

 

Installed Retrax Pro XR today. Yeti fits perfect.

 

Built a bed rack for the new RTT. Just needs some paint.

 

I put black overlay emblem for steering wheel today.

 

No bed stiffeners needed.

 

Added rci full skid and rear diff to the money pit. (Transfer case slid not pictured)

 

I think it's $100 a year if you go year to year. If you buy multiple years it's cheaper.

....me too.....

 

AJT? I got mine this week. Remarkable quality, very happy with it. Scared the shit out of my neighbors probably by honking my horn a bunch in the driveway.

 

Shout out to AJT Designs for a great product. That chrome emblem on my steering wheel has bugged me since I got the truck. For 19.99, I might even buy a red one as a backup.
