What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Greg...Curious as to what issues you were having that caused you to replace those?
Is it something that is common? Did you just replace with stock radiator bushings?

 

It is a known issue on 2nd gens and it will be a known issue on 3rd gens also because Toyota still uses the same soft crap bushings. I heard a slight clunk in front every so often so I decided to change the bushings. It’s a cheap mod that took less than an hour to do.

It looks like your passenger would agree.

 

Finally received my TRD Skid Plate. Delayed by 4 days because of "Civil Unrest". Decided to paint it matte black and keep the red letters. Previous user stated they look great, just have to get low to admire it. Bought it for the access opening for the oil filter changes.

 

I hate it when the passenger reaches over the steering wheel while I'm driving

 

Maybe an hour. Hardest part was running the wire through the rubber grommets to go from the door to the truck.

 

Gotcha. Getting an alignment right now. When I get home I'll take a few pics and show you where I ran the wiring for my hidden light bar to a switch in my dash. You could do the same for the raptor lights.

WOW. I thought Toyota fixed that years ago. Mine went in my 2016 at 5,000 miles so, after a terrible argumentative experience, involving videos to Corporate, they finally did mine under warranty. But they only did the side that was squeaking. Now, 4 years later approaching 25,000 miles, I wonder when the other side will go bad. This is not a new issue. Check out the noise in my video from 4 years ago.

@ Rottencotten

That was kind of a personal question.

 

Sorry, no clue. I jut plugged in whatever they sent me. I have had the kit for a bit and just now got around to installing it, so if they have recently changed from one to the other, I had the older probably.

 

Do you get the camera icon illuminated when the truck is on and does it dim the light if you dim the instrument cluster light?

 

I will try to remember and check when I get home tonight.

 

Fastest way to get backhanded in my truck. I don't have many passengers, maybe that's why.

 

I looked at this after reading the comment directly above, and almost went there (That's what she....)

 

I didn’t even bother dealing with Toyota because I didn’t want to fight with them when they give me the standard "could not replicate the problem" answer. The energy suspension bushings will definitely hold up better than what Toyota is using anyways. I am glad they at least fixed your 1 side.

 

So you're telling me that after 12,000 miles that bushing looks like that. If that's the case, the core support would have to be moving inches. Is there a TSB on this or is the information on here somewhere.

Every warranty issue was a fight with them. Their first "repair" for the bushing was greasing the sway bar links. Squeaked all the way home. I had to make videos to get things done. Even when my tire sensors went bad they fought me. Glad to be done with Toyota dealers. I agree you have better bushings. That is what I will install myself if one fails again.

 

Great mods just keep coming.....................I like the idea of the battery on the cross board.

 

That sucks. I will make sure to check them on my truck. My truck is close to 25k miles.

I plan to have that installed on mine. I like it in black. Maybe I leave it as the way it is.
