What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good. How much lift & what route did you go?

 

I'm looking at the
Supreme Suspensions 2-Inch Front / 2-Inch Rear Pro Billet Lift Kit

 

Looking good! How much lift in the front? If off roading it do you plan on a diff drop? Just researching before I do any sort of lift. Less than 500 miles and getting my Extang 2.0 hard tonneau cover and 265/75/16 KO2’s tomorrow!

 

Since I added the new bed cover, the bed divider would no longer fit in the track rails. Today I cut a little bit off of the bed divider on each side so that it would sit between the rails in the truck.

Added a couple of Costco collapsible crates to serve as removable storage

 

Oh man. It’s getting closer

 

Dude. I agree with you. It is a terrible situation and one that could easily be fixed if anyone really wanted to focus on it. GST is about 5% of the cost and my guess is HST is another 5% or so. So that would account for 10% of the cost which is by far the smallest percentage of the ridiculousness.

The crazier thing is that it is not the other way around. When we buy a crap ton of school clothes for my kid at Roots, we pay USD and get the huge discount and then bring that over the border with no charge at all. So the price gouging only works one way.

When the border opens, I am happy to shuttle stuff into Quebec but that won't help my friends in Ontario or Calgary, sadly.

 

Great idea with the crates, I have the same divider and that would be perfect

 

Looks great. What lift did you go with?

 

I didnt get to measure myself how much lift I got. Shop told me it was 2 inches all around.
Front setup is Bilstein 5100 w/Eibach springs and KYB mounts. 2 inch Add-a-leaf in the rear w/Bilstein 5160. A diff drop and Tacoma lean spacer.

thanks! Congrats on your truck! Shop said it was 2inches. I got the diff drop as well, even though i dont plan on wheeling it, but i do take my truck to do outdoor stuff frequently.

 

See above..

 

the headlights almost look like the OEM LEDs. how is the light output?

Very similar. Output is good in my eyes.

 

Thanks man! Good to know.

 

Thought the 20's came with one?

Now That is funny

 

I’m from Midwest (minnesota) originally and only moved here 3 yrs ago— agreed I feel like there’s more here than a lifetime could cover- to say nothing of being hrs from idaho/wyoming. Not sure I can ever leave now- two thumbs up.

 

Are 2nd and 3rd Gen leaf springs interchangeable?

 

The lift is done! Now I just need a second job to pay for the armor, bumpers, winch, cab rack... Oof.
