What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

When did you have the accident? I didn’t see you post anything about hitting a deer. Where’s the photos of the damage?

 

Tell us more on the deal.
Just got an offer myself, no payments until 2021 if I purchase a new car. Minimum 35K
Now is the perfect time to buy

 

Another outstanding install on my favorite rig. Let us know how many amp/hour you get on average. I almost thought that was a Nikon Head Unit in that yellow box...lol.

had no rubbing before I put spacers on
After spacers had to trim and cmc

 

Did you pull the sliders before giving it up? Who made them? I've been looking for some sliders, but don't want to wait months on a lead time.

 

What lift and tires do you have ?

 

Do y’all think this would look badass. Thinking about getting it to go camping?

 

Bilstein 5100 all around with ome 887 coils. In the rear I got headstrong progressive aal. For the tires I have 265/70r17 falken wildpeaks

 

@LSUfan1975 I'll post a link for ya.

@CXYyuppie Here ya go. I missed it too. Didn't know about it until yesterday.

Tested the airbags. They passed.

 

Is anyone currently accepting orders for retrofits?

 

Found a free toolbox on craigslist. Was in decent shape but really dirty and a bit beat up. Cleaned it up, removed some rust and went about figuring out a way to mount it to the bed. Looks like the standard install is though the top of the bed rails. I know there are holes under the factory plastic but I did not want to cut into it. This tool box is temporary until I find a used canopy.

Google tells me superstrut nuts will fit in the bed rails. I didn't realize at the store, but the 3/8" nuts are a bit smaller than the 1/4" nuts.

The 1/4" nuts almost fit, but not right. Stock on left, after I cut it down on the right:



Used an angle grinder to shorten the nuts a bit.



After that I used this bracket to attach a bolt vertically.





I was planning on cutting the bolt going to the nut on the bed rail down, but I got distracted and didn't get to that today. All in all this was a very cheap way to mount something to the stock bed rail with parts you can buy at the hardware store. I love it.

I think the 3/8" nuts might fit without cutting. Odd they are shorter than the 1/4".

 

Looks good! I prefer lift, but low is cool too.

Took some pics.

 

These work real well too for mounting these type tool boxes. Lot's less messing with it and probably cheaper. Add a fender washer and you are good to go.

 

Thank you for this post!!!

 

I did. They are Avid offroad slider style steps. Great company. Great product. They make real sliders too. Seem to remember they have shorter wait times then the other guys. Out of Arizona if i remember correctly. Owner is a member here. Pulled the tonneau cover and floor mats too. All will be on the classifieds shortly.

 

Thanks tullie d. Yeah @CXYyuppie i loved the taco. But toyota didn't bring anything new to the table and didn't want to deal. Chevy was willing to deal. Got 15% off msrp on a zr2 colorado. Hate it though. The taco was going to be my last new truck.

 

I installed a Gibson exhaust. Exhaust hanger tool and a little silicon spray lube made the job real easy.

 

How's the sound?
