What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

nice...ordering today!!

 

ahhh to get old lol

 

You won’t be disappointed. One of the most useful mods I’ve done

 

Good stuff man!

 

Pretty good video on the differences here

I can try to snap a few pics tonight. I have quite a bit of lighting up front so the night turns into day for sure. There is a 30” OnX6 hi power behind the grille as well which alone is pretty damn bright.

 

Installed a set of SokieTech hood struts. No drilling or riveting required!

 

Found a set of front shock assembly’s from a sr5 on CL for sale. About 15k miles on them. What are they going for. I acquired about them and he came back at me and said make an offer.... he wants 175 for front and rear.... even at that I think it’s cheap but it’s been on awhile.... any thoughts? They are loaded take offs BTW

 

Finally installed my cali raised rock sliders. I have Shrockworks sliders on my other RIG. I have to say that the cali raised are.over.built by comparison. And that suits me just fine, I like over kill when it comes to protection for the truck. The instructional video is decent, but I prefer the written instructions on the wedn site. Especially because they give you a parts list to go off of. It's always good to make sure you're stuff comes with all the needed hardware.
I painted these myself and I'm happy with the outcome. Fluid filmed the sliders and hardware when I finished except the part my leg may rub on when getting in and out of the truck. Ohio is salty.
There was ZERO farting around with stuff not fitting correctly, not being level or even from one airlde to the other. I just bolted them up. I have to say, itmwould have gone waaaaaaaaay faster had I gotten some help. But jack stands and two floor jacks helped. Still, I say ask for a bud to help if you do these by yourself. Especially when getting the inside the frame rail nuts and bolts lined up. I also put the frame caps back on, just cut some small slits in them to accommodate the frame nut handles. I though about cutting the handles off, but figured down the road I may want them there.

 

Black socks and flip-flops? Flip up sunglasses?

 

I don't think SR5 shocks are as a big as OR shocks are so you would be downgrading.

 

His is a sr5 with factory shocks on her yet with 405k on it, this is for my kids truck. 2008 ac auto

 

OK so out of nowhere I started singing taco taco man. I like to be a taco man. Damn you village people.

 

Here’s the link to Amazon and the wheels. I posted a review and a pic.

$280 Genuine Toyota 17" TRD Gloss Gunmetal Gray (TRD PRO 4Runner) PTR20-35110-G4 (1)

Ok, then that is a different story. The Dutch in me says offer $150.

 

I just offered 125.00.... see what happens . I have bare take offs from a sport but no springs. I have no problem swapping over springs but with that many miles I figured it may just be best to find whole take offs

 

Yeah... I prolly wouldn't pay much more than you offered...

It's local only, but I'm selling a full set of eibach stage one lift shocks, front and rear with coil springs and rear lift blocks, for $350 with only 6k miles on them because I bought them from a guy returning his truck to stock and before installing them decided I wanted to run stage 2 coilovers...

Once installed I'll be selling my 2021 TRDOR shocks front and rear, currently about 2K miles on them, for about $200...

On a facebook group I see quite a few newer take off shocks for about $200 pretty often.

My point being, there's definitely better deals to be had if you wait and watch.

 

Would love a set of these for my 17’!

 

He did accept my offer. Gotta make time for pick up

 

Small list of things I’ve done over the past 6 months. Roll up soft top bed cover, new 265/75/16 on old school Enkei wheels, TRD Bro grille and finally had nice enough weather to detail the truck. Now it is tucked away in the garage for the night.
