What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It’s great so far

 

There is a reason that 80,000lb tractor trailers use drum brakes; there is absolutely nothing wrong with them. No, they aren't sealed completely, most debris can't get in but over time dust and sediment can get in.

 

Got my rear extended Bilstien 5100s and HeadStrong progressive AAL installed last night by @Jason TRD OR . Stoked to have the sag from my weight gone and the ride difference is night and day. Feels like the front end is planted on the road again and the wheels aren’t wandering on the freeway. If you’re in SoCal and need work done, make sure you hit Jason up.

 

So clean!

 

Thanks!

 

Sweet! Gears are my next big mod too!

Probably won't know til the weekend when I get on the highway. Back in the day I would say driver side only but nowadays people like to come up the right side and hang in that blind spot. Just happened on Monday. I'm doing 80 in a 70, pass a car and an Audi came flying up behind me and committed to passing on right before I could get over and then decided not to pass for some reason..... I remember when it used to get you a ticket for passing on the right.

 

Installed my Hooke Road tailgate panel. Came with a bag of screws. Didn't need them. Installed it in minutes. Tailgate would not close all the way. Removed the two rubber bumpers. Voila. Put in a couple of panel clips. Works great. It was 120 all in a week ago on Amazon.

 

Battery Tender mod. Not sure if I am happy about it but I like that I don't have to open the hood to put the truck on the charger.
After putting it together I noticed that there was flaking of paint were the grill met. Not sure if I did it or just made it worse.
I would have wrapped the wires with black electrical tape before I put the grill back on if I thought it might be seen.

 

PA inspection, no emissions, $24, and 362 miles in 2020, good for another year.

 

Get a roll of 1/4" split wire loom.

 

Yup your right you got a ticket for passing on the right and got one for hanging out in the left lane too. Both drive me crazy.

 

Longbed rack on short bed truck, right? Love the look.

 

It’s basic bracket should not cost over 20buck. Amazon have easy return and it only cost 11bucks

 

I need to cut a small portion of the bed mat to get to the drain holes for my tubes on my cover. Anybody have a good way of doing this cleanly? Or just go after it with the kitchen scissors? Lol

 

I used a hole saw, worked perfectly for me. Left a clean look on the mat

 

Lift complete

 

You're afraid to scratch the paint? We drive Toyota's not Ferrari's.

 

Some people don't want scratched paint on their 40k car that they worked hard for regardless
