What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How’s the ride compared to the stock Sport shocks?

 

Well, I was thinking more of the styling of the hood, indented line styling running the length of the door and bed, similar fender flares etc, but hey, if all you can see on a vehicle is color and tell if it’s a truck or car, you may need to see an optometrist my friend.
I will say this, that truck had actual metal bumpers, which is totally different from the 3rd gen Tacoma, so there is that.

 

I was told mud helps it stay healthy and strong!

 

Will it make it grow to a DCLB

 

Really can't tell a difference, Just took the interstate home. This weekend I'm heading out to get it good and dirty. I will report back after that!

 

After sending it a bit too hard a couple weeks back and bending a spindle against a large and unseen boulder (OOPS!), I replace the spindles with new OEM spindles and added welded-on Dirt King gussets for future "send it" session protection!

 

reminds me of this dude... His voiceover is everywhere!

 

Awesome! Looking forward to hearing how it handles off road. If you get a chance, you may want to post in the thread below about the TRD kit. I’m sure the folks watching that thread will appreciate it.

Man, that sucks. Maybe someone with more knowledge about clear bra installation can chime in, but I think you have to wait a certain period of time to let the paint cure before you put that stuff on. After I purchased my truck I had to wait before they would lay it down. Seen some detail videos saying the same thing, but maybe doesn't matter with such a small piece? Could be why the paint lifted, or they didn't remove it correctly in the first place Anyway, hope you get it sorted out!

 

I would get it checked out. My brake harness was shorting out because my tray holding my fuses cut through the wire insulation. I know my issue was more severe but you don’t want to be caught out on the highway when this happens. This is what my dash looked like.

 

Printed out gas cap holder.

 

But you are missing the point...that little bit of plastic breaks up that great sucking vortex at the back of the tailgate and improves the zero to sixty time by 3 seconds!!!... at least that is what the sales guy told me...

BTW it is Airglide out of Oceanside, Ca...it was on the truck when I got it. I've got a torn up tailgate cap so I'm going to look at their tailgate cap/spoiler when I'm over there in a couple weeks. If I get one, it will be hard to tell the difference between my Tacoma and my wife's Ford.....FLEX! (btw, not a Ford fan but that Flex is impressive for what it is!)

 

LOL

 

Finally got my MWD stickers in and on the truck.
They turned out good!

 

Thanks

 

This photo is useless without a photo of the Evil with it.

 

Lulz

 

Sweet rigs!

 

I have the last set of the current batch sitting here, It does have a scratch in the metal that shows through the powder coat. I'll PM you with a price since mods get mad if I post them for sale here.

 

Bumpers and winch tomorrow, Then I'm (and wallet) DONE!!
