What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I did the same with BFG Dueler A/T Revo 3. Did you notice any rub? I have a little at full turns both directions. That could be from the Spidertrax too.

Here's a place to start looking.

No rubbing so far, even at full lock. I haven’t been off road with them yet, but normal driving I haven’t noticed anything. I looked at the Spidertrax spacers because the stance looks really good with those, but I was wondering if it might cause a little rub. Probably an easy fix though, if it’s just rubbing the plastic.

 

This is exactly why I love this thread. Find things I would never had looked for otherwise.

It is minor and infrequent, and I'm planning to lift it 3" in September, so I imagine that will eliminate it altogether! I do like the stance with the spacers much better than without. Easy mod that completely changes the look of the truck. A coworker said mine looks angry now.

 

Bed stiffeners to square up your bed?

 

Question: I'm contemplating a roof top rack after putting the RTT on a full height rack. I wasn't initially going to get one, but I am wondering if it would help or hurt the gas mileage. I've lost about 1.5 p/gallon with the tent, and wonder if the faring on the roof top rack would aide airflow over the tent. Any thoughts from those who are in a similar situation? Thanks in advance.

 

tents are much higher than the fairing, it won’t help. Dropping the tent down on a lower height bed rack is your only way of gaining some mileage back, but you won’t get it all back due to weight

 

Did you do any type of lift I was thinking on adding bigger at's but didn't know if I needed to do anything else

 

Guess I haven't updated in awhile.... Only have pics of the exterior, but uh... MESO interior chrome delete, ultimate side view mirrors (3rd or 4th revision.. forget which, swapped out my firsts to keep as backups.), tail light v 1, ultimate map/dome lights.. (Patiently waiting for his blackout door handle covers & steering wheel cover) uh, Level 8 MK 6 17x8 -10 in matte black, 265/70r17 Wildpeak AT3W (in standard load.. all on stock suspension.. no lift, yet), swapped out the OEM flaps for rokblokz.. there might be more, but I'm exhausted and can't think.

Also huge thanks to Matt from @Discount Tire for putting up with all my crap and being a huge help assisting me in getting my wheels! Had the tires installed locally as there aren't any DTD's anywhere even remotely close to where I live.

Still have my sokietech hood struts to install at some point.. I've just been lazy and it's been rainy off and on.

 

Nice. I’ve been eyeing those tires for a while but haven’t seen too much on them since most people go ridge or mudd grapplers

 

is that a sub box i see between the rear seats? I have been on the hunt for an affordable solution to my subwoofer needs.

 

Preference on ARB vs say CBI or TRD or Cali Raised? Im eyeing a good skid plate and some angled slim sliders but some of them seem significantly more expensive than the rest :/

 

Added to shopping list, good find, thanks

 

Found a great deal on this used hitch bike rack. Seems like everything bike related is sold out/on back order right now.

 

What kind of lift are you looking at?

No lift and everything has fit perfectly so far. If I had aftermarket wheels or spacers added, it might rub a little, but I haven't noticed anything with the stock wheels. I only went up one size and it looks much better. It really fills out the wheel wells nicely.

Yeah, I love the look of the Ridge Grapplers, but didn't really need anything quite that aggressive. I wanted something a little better in the dirt and on wet roads that than the stock Toyos. They had good reviews and I have some friends that swear by them, so I figured I would give them a shot. I read what I could find on here, but like you said, most of the recent stuff was about the Ridge or Mud Grapplers. I might post a review or something in the wheels and tires section after I get some decent miles on them.

 

Used in plumbing every day. You can also put some teflon pipe dope on top of the teflon tape which helps even more
