What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Took my bride of 25 years to the cabin.






Returned home and found my Meso Flipfob in the mailbox.

 

That surprised me Bob. You don't miss much.

 

Is that a decal TRD on the pro shift knob? If so where can I get one?

 

A couple threads on it here and here or here

 

No. The driver's side cubby was deleted some time in 2019 on all trim levels.

I've used the bed outlet exactly zero times over the past decade on this truck and my past truck. I would rather have a large cubby there actually.

 

I appreciate this. Also very very clean ditch light install!

 

So it was a long, busy few days. Friday I tackled lift install. I've never work on suspension before so i had the coils pre-assembled. Used my brother's garage since I don't have one and started 1145ish AM. Installed the front driver side fine. The damn UCA bolt is a POS and I had to step away a few times to calm myself down. Brother showed up and help with the passenger side and by the time we were installing rear leafs a buddy of ours showed up to help. Between the 3 of us, we had ZERO experience with lift installs. We managed the front, rear leafs, drive line spacer and front control arm spacer and finished up at midnight. It was a struggle and constant video rewind and instruction reading but proud that we were able to finish this ourselves.

This lift is beefy and couldn't be happier. I'm glad i took the plunge and TW advice of "buy once, cry once"

On to Saturday/Sunday. After a long wait time, sofTRUSS finally arrived and it was time to install. Install was pretty smooth minus our minor F*** ups and not reading the directions as carefully as we should. Though they do seem to need an update as their a little dated regarding some stuff. Really satisfied with quality and build of this, just like the Bravo rack. The wait was 17 weeks but these racks are badass. The order volume with the small operation they have, COVID, it's understandable.







I'm going to play around with the height of it and possibly drop the bars as I don't drop my softopper very much to need to have them set that high.




Tires looks tiny now lol. will not be upgrading since these have been on for less than a year. I didn't take the best before and after measurements. It was cold, I was frustrated and tired but it was about 2 3/4 rear and 2in the front. Will remeasure after a few hundred miles.

I think spending is on hold for the rest of the year after alignment.

 

Great job on the installs, looks great and worth in the end!

 

is that the Bravo roof rack? any wind noise?

 

@itzyoboipaul - Yes. Bravo rack, no more noise than the factory rack I had installed previously.

 

Beautiful scenery. Is that the Adirondacks?

Also interested in the Flip Fob. Was it easy to get the key cut?

 

Thanks! definitely worth it in the end.

 

It is just north of Ozark National Forest in the Boxley Valley Historic District.

Indeed. It took less than five minutes to have it cut and cost $10.

 

Got them from toyotaproshop. Think they're all the same from all the stores. I'd not buy from there again. Think it's a shopify store who's doing dropshipping or something. Never got a trackingcode and the confirmation page never updated shipping states, everything cam in separate packages from different shipping companies and came spread out over a few days.

 

Somehow I missed this until today!

Thank you, sir!

 

I know I'm late to the party but would you be willing to get rid of those Limited tires/wheels? Been looking for those for a while.

 

Just finished cleaning them up after sanding all of the wheel rings and installing the TRD stickers.

ROAM 8' Awning installed. Waiting for my RCI Bed Rack to install the RTT!

 

That's pretty cool. I'm curious how it's using less oil? I would think that with more line and an additional filter it would contain more oil in the system (theoretically not a bad thing).
