What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just finished swapping out one of my CV axles for another OEM with a CVJ high angle inner boot. The clamp had rippped into the inner boot of the original CV. Much better angles.



Going to take the one with the ripped boot, re-boot it with a CVJ high angle boot, and swap it to the other side. At least now I’ll have a spare CV for when I do stupid stuff with the front locker.

Speaking of dumb stuff, went wheeling yesterday and got caught on a ledge. Didn’t realize I was caught on my driveshaft and put some nice scrapes and dents into it. Going to see if I can get it rebalanced before it destroys my u-joints and other stuff. Stupid move on my part. Once I slid over and was dead on with the ledge I should have backed off and readjusted, but I wanted to play with the front locker

 

Those look awesome, nice work. Agree it would look better with a wider stance

 

When I had my 2014 TRD Sport extended cab, I wanted to take the rear seats out of mine for more storage. But didn't have the place or tools to do it. No one would ride back there anyways. Too damned small of a space.

Thus why I got a DC now.

 

Just installed RCI Offroad aluminum transmission and transfer case skids on the truck. Good news, the RCI transfer case crossmember is 100% compatible with BAMF sliders.

Everyone said "STEEL!" last time I asked about advice on skids...but I just couldn't justify the weight for a daily driver. I'm really trying hard to keep it down, since I still want to add roof racks and a hidden winch mount, and I really don't want to have to replace the Fox suspension. I also don't really wheel hard, this is more for "oopsie" protection when I'm going down a forestry road.

I did have to request an additional hardware pack to get it to work with the OEM front skid, and I lost about an inch or so of clearance there, but small price to pay for the additional protection.

 

Lookin good!

Thanks! That helps a lot!

 

OEM Trifold installed today!

 

Got an OV tune the other day, drives great and gets fair gas mileage with the new 33s. Did a body mount chop this morning, then went and snow wheeled in some (shitty) snow. 2" of fresh over some rock solid crust led me to only breaking like 20 ft of trail

 

Installed the 10” Max Modular Tacomax Aluminum rack:

 

Ouch!

 

Great! Another mod to add to the list. Thanks!!

 

Us as well. We just arrived in Joshua Tree NP but believe the parks campgrounds are closed...

 

Not today, but about a week ago. Did the CMC and installed 285’s. Don’t have a very good picture but looks way better than the stock tires. Pinch weld next, and some plastic trimming cause I still rub haha.

 

Added some heavy grip tape to my custom modified Sheridan skid

 

Yeah, that's a problem. You may need a new drive shaft.

If it dips below 70 I have on long handles, its that old age thing. I Think! Lol

 

Installed my Dobinson leafs springs! My stock ones were pretty bust and sagging a lot practically using my bump stops for everything... I got the 500-800lb set to lift up the rear 2" and get my rear suspension back.

Did put a gouge on the shackle mount though, must have used the wrong bolts. They look flat though... Did I go too light? What do you guys think.

 

Sweet truck. Nice job.
