What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Baja LP4s added on ditch light brackets. Amber backlight looks amazing as well.

 

Thank you
I purchased them from a Toyota Dealership that had them in stock.
I gained a half inch of lift in the front, and the only thing I added to rear besides the shocks was the E-Brake Cable Spacer that goes on the right rear that came with the Package.

 

White Knuckle Off Road. I couldn't be any more happy with my sliders from them.

 

How did you acquire the grill?

 

This may be a wee bit off topic:

A friend from IG posted this on her profile, but I felt this might be fitting for our lady friends for keeping up on telling what they have done for their 3rd gens lately. Not sure of their numbers on this thread, but I'm sure they are here.

 

This...


My wife and I were able to get the install done with about 14hrs of work spread over two days. Hardest part of the whole thing was torquing the crank pulley bolt. Pro move would have been to put a cheater bar on the 18” handle of the strap wrench, alas I did not have a piece of steel pipe that fit over it.

The results (according to my butt-dyno) are significant. Coupled with the 4.88s, the truck can now climb hills AND accelerate smartly at highway speeds in 6th with occasional downshift to 5th with cruise control on. Push the pedal down and find 4th at 60mph and you’re at 80-90mph in just a few seconds.

 

I think i found my cap!

 

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

 

Thank you for the kind words. I'm always down to hit some trails. If you have not yet check out The FLORVE group on FB it has become rather large lately, so I can't speak for everyone but the past couple of times we have been out its been a good time with no Douche Bags.

 

So this is from experience only, from what I have noticed its the round u bolts that tend to flex/ give take the shape of the axle when they are being torqued down. They will never be tightened down with perfect pressure on each nut causing minor stretching. The square type u bolts used in the tacoma will sit in the same spot due to the flat area with the 90 degree bends. The design limits stretching while torquing to after the the 90 degree bends. Hope that makes sense.

So after all that I would still buy new u bolts. But really depending on what you are trying to do, look into a u bolt flip kit. The less stuff you have hanging under the axle the better.

 

I really dig that!

 

Nice job, looks clean. I have been thinking about purchasing their entire rear kit. Hangers, greaseable shackles, and the high clearance support to tie in the hangers together. Did you happen to pick up the tie in support, I'm interested in your thoughts on it and how looks installed?

 

thats a nice bed rack and roof rack you have what brand is that

 

Dissent Offroad. I may change out the RR some time in the future if I can find something quieter, but absolutely love the BR.

 

Do you have the dimensions or CAD file? My brother has a CNC and I want to cut 1.

 

Switched out my 6112s/ foxes for some kings

 

I did buy the high clearance cross tube but haven’t installed it yet. I still have the passenger side hanger that I need to install first. So far everything has been really good quality and I’m happy that I bought everything now.

 

She's a keeper. And the wife, too.

 

That is badass!! This is exactly what I’m saving up for, with the 4.88 too. Your truck must drive amazing

 

I know the second gen campers don't fit perfectly on a 3rd gen. Seems nearly impossible to find a good used 3rd gen camper anywhere, so just curious about how close the fit is
