What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bridgestone Blizzak, 165/70/17, on black 4Runner rims (got the set for free with truck, from dealership, such a nice people working here!)

 

I drilled a 1/4 hole in the bracket above the winch. Added a custom made aluminum bracket to the Warn relocation bracket mentioned above.

Ran the cables all the way behind driver headlight using door trim to prevent sharp edges cutting into wires. Then added an Anderson quick disconnect.

 

Shits about to get real

 

I ended up using the maner mount by Tandem Offroad to install my VR Evo. It’s a solid mount and I have had zero issues with it. I have done countless little adventures and two big week long back country trips bouncing around on bumpy roads since the install.

Mine are down to 1-2/32nds after 72k km of regular use. That seems to be their lifespan

 

I installed the front crossmember. Woo hoo finally got all my parts from Fabtech! Look at how much more clearance I have now.. Total Chaos +2 6” bracket lift. I’m not going to work until my truck is finished. Crazy fun build , It’s AJ in the Thunderboltgreaseslapper out front with Dastardly Do Right closing in... ahhh good times !

 

Love the Bridgestone Blizzaks. Ran them on a 1/2 ton work truck commuting 60 miles each day over mountains. Stopping ability was the best, but once I took them on tough rocky terrain with no snow I ripped a sidewall within 5 miles. Hopefully will work well with the lighter Tacos

 

Wired up my raptor lights to a switch .

 

Been running them on mine for the last 2 winters.

Here's a few shots of my truck bed with the oem lights I installed, with the last shot showing what you're asking about, super easy to do. I love mine. Plenty of light for my needs, hope it helps.

 

That is clean, thanks for the heads up.

 

Duro Bumps install is up on the channel.

 

Been on the fence about this one for a long time. Got more pics?

 

I'm running the same WT deflector.

 

Thanks Sir, much appreciated.

 

Honestly that's the best first mod I've seen done in a while! A mod you can do that costs nothing and will increase the beauty, and slight function with the removal of that damn air dam. Welcome to TW, you'll fit right in.

 

If you installed taller bump stops do you not reduce the rate of travel of LCA?

 

I must have missed something? What did you do ha. You used steel wool to make them matte finish looking?
