What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Same here. Paid for mounting and balancing. They took the TPMS from my tires that were on the truck, put them in the new tires, put new valve stems in the old tires, and mounted the new tires on the truck. All for under $85. I talked to them at the same time about getting winter tires, and they said a new set of 4 TPMS would be $240 ($60 each) and then when they rotate from my summer tires to my winter tires, they do the programming for free. So if someone is wanting to charge you $200 (or damn near any price), shop around.

 

OEM bedlights from Amazon. Really easy install. So cool that they are prewired. Also waxed the taco (be careful searching that on google).

 

Discount Tire...they were no problem at all.

 

How is your platform supported on the side(s)? Does it just sit on the lip of the bed or is it supported another way? TIA.

 

Added the prinsu rack

 

Just the lip on the bedside. Plenty of support that way.
After looking at many peoples different platforms (and my experience building my "v1" platform) it seems like so many people overbuild these things. I wanted to keep it plenty light for ease of taking in and out. And it supports my wife and I just fine....

 

Started on the real mods...bought truck 2 weeks ago.

Today added Bilsteins 5100 all around. I said to put on the 4th perch but I'm not sure if they did. I also did the toyota tech 1.5" Add a leaf. I did not do any other mods...no diff drop, 1/4" spacer, etc....Stock I was 35.5" in front to fender and 37" in back to fender. I am now at 36.9" Front and 38.25 in the rear. The rake is fairly close to factory still and no visibility issues. No vibrations on the freeway and no taco lean that I've noticed. Overall I'm pretty pleased with it. Now to add some 275/70/17s on SCS SR8's and I'll be right at 2.5" taller then stock which was my target. I really couldn't tell the difference on the ride home either...seems very nice.

 

Anyone know what size bolts fit these holes?

 

M8 X 1.25 30mm

 

I do my own recalls

 

Cutting...

35s with somewhat stock height is fun...

 

Sweet. Thanks for the info

 

Metric.

 

Where did you get that Grumpy Cat plate?

 

Does anyone have power running boards installed? The kind that drop down when the doors open then go back up when doors close

???????

 

Been trying to figure out the best place to put my garage opener for a while. I didnt like putting on the sun visor because i got my sun glasses holder on it. Wife had the perfect solution as soon as she heard it.

 

Installed some raptor lights with the DRL harness aswell as a prinsu cab rack.

 

Looks good.

What's your wheels and tires set up?

 

I bought it from a seller on e-bay about 6 years ago. Don't remember the seller's name. One thing for sure, as long as I have that plate I can always fine my truck. This is the third personal transport I have had it on. (Every one says I am like the the picture on the plate!!!!!) I'm not "grumpy", just an "Old Fart"!!!!! LOL

 

Did you get the Spectra or OEM?
