What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think it looks very good the way it is.
It may look better without that front air dam though.

 

digging those lights! Also it’s nice to see someone else on .52

 

Light Bar Wiring/ Install is up on the channel.

 

oh yeah man, always on .52 and a local uhf repeater. On and off road.

 

I would go with Redline - pop rivets and stainless was a good point for me...only a few bucks more. Prob sale for Black Fri.

 

Not sure how the TRD badge is set up but I installed this with no drilling. Creates a really solid wedge with the back plate. I check it every now and then and it ain't going nowhere...

 

Good stuff! I have that badge as well and is my preference. I’ll start wrenching now

 

I have a bunch of small mods I'll be installing very soon (with pictures)

Shout out to MESO customs for their awesome products. BRING BACK YOUR SMOKED LED TAIL LIGHTS BACK!!!!

Also, do the 2020's require A/C hose redirection?
I've read about older models having rust development due to the hose dripping on the frame!

 

Yes the 2020's have a short stub of a AC drain. Do it.

 

Not 100% sure I’m going to like it long term but for now, it’s ok.
Work accomplished for the day!

 

are you getting any vibrations currently or anticipating when you do the 5100? I ask because I was conflicted when ordering my suspension and passed on it in hopes I never got the vibrations. A week later and about 100 miles and no vibrations yet.

 

Last camping trip of the year....

 

No issues with the truck at all.
Replacing it for the Bilstein 5100.

I've just read places that it's recommended since the needle bearing in the OEM CV axle bushing have been known to break off with suspension upgrades.
That could be a pretty expensive fix if those broken pieces go elsewhere.

 

Did you installed this yet?

 

Did you install the kit yet?

 

I hear ya. I’ll probably end up doing it. Mods list is pretty much done for me so I need to find something to buy for the truck.

 

Did you change the lower grill bar from a Caliraised or are you talking about the ditch lights or fogs?

I am sold on the quality of the DD fogs, and I would imagine that if their lower grill bar is similar in build quality then it also should smoke the competition.

 

Not yet. Gotta make a run to the hardware store for a longer bolt and waiting on the hose which will arrive Monday. I probably should have spent more money on one made specifically for the Taco. Mounting this one has turned out to a real b*tch.

 

No. The bumper lightbar is a rough country that came with it. It's a two way amber /white. I'm going to get rid of it. Just need to take it out. As for the behind the grill lightbar ,yes that is a caliraised 32 lightbar which I am also going to take out.
