What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

big difference in normal drive feel with the Marlins. actually feels like a truck now.

 

Thanks. Maybe i will get the unicorn that doesn't have poor throttle response, crazy shift points, failure to maintain gear at highway speeds, and won't slam on the brakes when a big bug hits the grill. Oh wait....

All joking aside. The toyota was a good truck. Not like i choose to sell it. But hitting bambi totaled it. So on to the next one. All makes have issues. Sure the Colorado will to.

Most of you guys have been great. Awesome trucks in here. Still going to poke my head in to see what great ideas you guys come up with.

 

I'd give it a go if I had all the tools and a good workspace, but I don't have either. Maybe I could round up some jacks and convince my brother in law to let me use their driveway but I might as well get a few quotes from shops too.

 

I had never done it. My springs were not assembled. It took me about 3 hours to do all four and I had left/right on wrong sides so had to reinstall. Just to give you a rough idea.
It was pretty simple and safe but I have the tools and a level garage space to work in.
(I just used my floor jack to compress the springs for front install).

 

Added a fuse block and breaker switch to help control the inevitable rat's nest

 

Seems similar to the Harbor Freight light, but is only 180 lumens, discrete LEDs (not a COB), and $6. .

 

Just order this Body Armor hiline bumper. Will send pics once it arrives and is installed. Wanted the look of a bull bar but the functionality of a real bumper without a ton of weight way out front.

 

Now that I like!!!!

 

The grill was the last mod Besides the bakflip but we’ve all seen them.

 

Hmm, if it helps....I didn't use the camera that was included in the kit. I picked up a Nitika Backup camera from Amazon. It seemed to be the popular option from others that had done this install. I'm pretty happy with it.

HTH

 

Yes. Big difference. You can actually feel how freely the arms articulate. These arms let the shocks do there job instead of impeding movement

 

You have a link to which one you got? I see a lot on Ebay. I am assuming you didn't get the factory one.

 

Don’t tell me this kind of information. Going to make me make the purchase haha

 

I actually looked at one before I bought my Tacoma. It's a nice truck, but they wanted $9k more for the ZR2 Colorado than the Tacoma. It just didn't do it for me at the time. I liked the Chevy but not $9K more. In February 2019 I could have got a 2018 Silverado for less than the 2019 Colorado.

Did they have a good interest rate for the new truck?

 

I have the same issue. Would you mind telling me where you get the oil? I have used moth balls but those are really toxic.

 

Absolutely.............I get the 30ml bottles. They have great customer service and fast shipping.

any straight peppermint essential oil will do it. this is strong stuff and Now brand has good prices. 4oz will last forever, maybe get a 1 or 2oz bottle.

I use quite a bit on the cotton balls.............I use the 30ML = to about the 1 oz. bottles, but I use a lot and it works. It is not the cheapest, but at least it is the real deal...........there are a lot of negative reviews of stuff on Amazon not even working or being watered down.

i understand the concern about Amazon, believe me i do. but i'm in this industry and can tell you there are good & consistent brands of essential oil products, and Now is legit. peppermint EO is not expensive, some EO's are crazy expensive.

 

Can you share the link, or at least the brand name. Thanks
