What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Returned my icon aal and bilstein shocks and decided not to level it. Was waiting on the front shocks which are still weeks out and I kind of got meh on it and didn’t care to level it. After reading all the needle bearing replacement, trimming etc etc. I kinda got over it and will prob just roll it around stock height since I don’t even need a level. Will put money into maybe leather seats which I like or whatever else I come up with. Still need to install my amp research steps..

 

Yeah I’m struggling with the same thing. I would like to level at the least but with the bearing nonsense I hate to spend the money and have to do more work to fix stuff caused by my poor decision. I guess just leave well enough alone.

 

If my order had shipped on time and had all arrived at once it would’ve already been installed by now and I wouldn’t of had a second thought but since it’s taking almost a month I’ve been reading and thinking about it and I just don’t care that much anymore. I’ll probably throw some different rims and tires on it and if down the road I get the itch maybe I’ll do it then

 

I’m thinking some of those 265/75/16 wildpeaks would be more than enough for me once the stock tires are a bit more worn.

 

Yeah I think that’s the way I will go to. The 75 should fill the space a bit more and go with an AT tire that has the square flat look instead of the round sidewall on the factory tire. I’m not sold on the wildpeak I had a set on a Sierra and they were good but a bit noisy. I also had a set on an f150 work truck that dug really well off-road but the treadlife wasn’t great.

 

See I was originally thinking the KO2s like many people, but I just happened to see JP3s truck in the long bed thread and I like the look he has. It looks aggressive, but not overboard. Plus I’ve read good things about the wildpeaks.

 

I haven't. Is that what you have?

 

Yeah that looks good and I like that rim color

 

Check out the Pirelli scorpion all terrain tires. They look aggressive as well and are decent. Had them on my ‘07 and liked them a lot. I don’t do any off reading though, so not sure how they hold up there.

265/75/r16 KO2’s with stock suspension are a good option. These have been awesome off-road so far......

 

That bronze looks really good on the white taco. Glad everything worked out

 

Would they fit with stock mudflaps?

 

Absolutely! I took mine off only because I take it off road often and since they are so rigid I was concerned about catching them on something and buckling a fender or something.

 

It’s a Blue Sea usb port. I got it off Amazon. I then used a dremel to make the hole.

 

Martin Roof Rack, and CaliRaised light bar installed. Rack went on easy Peary, light bar made me create a new vocabulary.

 

Nice. Mine was a '70

 

Are these just stock rims painted that color? I like them a lot

 

Looks really good though so it was worth it!

 

Just recently hit 60k miles (bought it used at 58k), so I had the first oil change today.

Also picked up a ratcheting cargo bar at the local Harbor Freight: Fits great, seems very sturdy, and had good reviews. Feel like that was $23 well spent.

 

Agreed, I’ve given up on Caliraised after this experience. They said nothing about having to notch the wind deflector. Their brackets are not well thought out and don’t allow much adjustment to the bar, and are WAY overpriced for what they are. This expensive bracket was advertised as a way to simply add that lightbar. That is far from the case and very disappointing. I’m in the process now of making a bracket that actually works for the exact application this is advertised for.
