What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

As others have said, the u bolts should close all the gaps. The center pin is basically there to keep your leafs lined up and tight ish until you can get the u bolts back on. I didn't torque mine super tight. Can't remember if I did or not, but you can probably tighten it back up after the u bolts remove the slack. Remember to tighten the u bolts progressively and evenly.

Edit: I'm dumb, you cant tighten it afterwards because the bump stop will cover it.

 

Got my bed cover installed today. Only took 1.5 months to arrive from RealTruck. Thanks @keoniboy70 for answering my questions about the cover.

 

Isn't the hitch bolted to the frame? If it is then no doubt the frame is toast.

 

I got some custom bedside decals installed today. The matte black looks pretty good to me.

 

A.R.E. CX Classic w/ yakima HD bars installed today

 

Ya!!! someone posted an Access Cab. We are so few.

 

I saw one today, access cab 4x4 off road... couldn’t believe it. Chrome bumper caps though... no tech package

 

We’re out there

 

Now that's my kind of winch bumper! Adding to wish list.

 

Thanks and yeah no problem $660 for the exhaust $358 for the intake. I buy all my oem parts from Mike Calvert Toyota, best prices I’ve seen.

Exhaust

Took it in for the 5k maintenance and used the free car wash

 

Installed the Tool-Less Chalk-bag 32 oz. cupholder mod (https://tinyurl.com/y2x3adw8), emergency seat belt cutter & window punch (the yellow item attached to the e-brake), and a bed extender from CL.

 

Thanks for sharing. The shipping cost is huge for me. $257 for the exhaust alone.

Looks like I’ll have to try and source directly from a local dealership. My local parts dealer’s never seem to be able to discount anything though.

 

I had the same issue, after I saw the prices I asked my local dealer to work with me and they did drop the price considerably but it was still cheaper to drive 2 hrs to Houston. They can negotiate but they won’t budge unless you show them something cheaper.

 

Thanks again. I’ll try that approach.

 

yep I’ve only seen one of TRD OR access cab with a tech package in person.

 

Sweet looking rig!

 

Got an OV tune today! Its tits

 

When seconds matter, an unprepped TQ can be costly. Still run into people at work with them in the plastic wrapper inside their IFAKs. The rage I feel....

 

And my offroading for the week
