What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

They are definitely not cheap. I assume part of that is because of the BSM and that they’re heated.
Expensive, yep but I find that as I get older every little bit helps when I’m on the road. While the BSM is great it’s nice to know what is beside me and more importantly with distracted drivers just how close to my side they are. These mirrors do that for me.

 

The RAV4 spotter glass is heated. I guess I got lucky with my Tacoma. If I want to see low, such as the rear tires, mine has these power mirrors that rotate downward. Works great. And a helluva lot cheaper at $96 a pair.

 

You can adjust them to give you a lower view.

 

How well does that work? I need a new pressure washer to go with it because my old gas Craftsman one has a bad carb. Would it work ok with a 2000psi electric? Like a

sun joe spx3000?

 

Another option is mirrors from Cartrimhome.com

 

ryanvar42, the only reason is for long trips, bc carrying appendix for long periods sucks!

 

I have one too. Works great with my 1600psi, 1.2 gallon Ryobi electric..

 

Switched up my tires today! went for some Ridge Grapplers in 285/70. They look and feel great with the new suspension.

 

Yeah, I don't like appendix it is not comfy to me I carry on my side but concealed but I am also using sub compact so it doesn't print at all

 

Finally broke down and got some 1.5” spacers.

 

Very cool then to SunJoe is 2030psi and 1.76gmp. So it should work fine. I'm going to get it when the weather gets better soon. I miss having a pressure washer that works. Since I downsized to a house with a small lot I've been changing to all electric and manual equipment.

 

Is that just to make the wheels stick out farther?

 

What size tires you pair it with

 

Agreed! I admit I was on the lift and bigger tires bandwagon when I got my truck, but after reading that and seeing just how much of a negative impact bigger tires can have without a re-gear definitely has me going in a different direction with my build ideas.

What brand is that? I've been thinking of adding one of those and it looks like we have the same S&W so I'm thinking that would work nicely.

Toyo A/T III LT265/70/17. Planning on something. Haven't decided on a RTT in the bed or a trailer.
Stock OR '17 suspension

 

I went up one size and planned on going to a 285 in the near future. Cancel that now. I’ll stick with the 265/70/17.

 

The extra machining to make it fit better than just an aluminum spacer and the tapped holes in the front for the molle panels is why they are so expensive.
You can see the extra work over just an aluminum spacer in these 2 posts. There are tabs on them to keep everything lined and are machined to follow the profile of the floor boards.

Also the big selling point for me was the molle panel. On the driver side I have first aid, knife, and a flash light. On the passenger seat I have a zipper bag with my extra winter gloves, hat, and sol blanket.

 

Ear and Eye candy added

 

If you get the dessert does it Then you can buy one of these for under the passenger seat too.

 

I attach them to the bed deck rails with these:
