What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yup, they just pop out like @TacoSRSX said. The first time you’ll be like “is this right” but then you’ll know. Just use your fingers and start by the radio on the passenger side. That part has to come out before the cluster part.

 

I wish I could but I have a 5 year old who would have a hell of a time getting in and out. Especially in the car circle where parents aren’t really supposed to get out out to help get their kids in and out.

 

Like pm him?

 

thanks! I've been trying to decide on the angle I want, and I like the look of those on the truck

 

I like the sliders. I see they are a Canadian company. Where did you purchase them from?

 

I'm in the same situation. I don't have them now but actually could use some for the next year or two until my daughter gets a little taller.

 

It really depends on your use for the truck.
I've had 2 sets of E rated KO's on a 2nd gen and never did any off roading and not really any heavy hauling or towing. They both came with FJ takeoffs I purchased. IMO they are the best looking tires.
But They really held the truck back due to added weight and were noisy. Just overkill and for looks if your not in necessity of an E rated tire don't do it!

I recently was looking for the most efficient/ reasonable priced and decent looking off road tire
and I went with the 265/75/16 Sumitomo Encounter AT passenger load (they also make them in E rated) due to the high ratings and reviews.
Very close to stock feel and noise while highway driving and I didnt add 20lbs of unsprung weight to the tires like putting on KO's would have done. I think I added about 8-10 lbs per tire from Wrangler stock tires.
So far very happy with mpg(18.2), noise, dry and wet performance and they are even rated for severe snow.
They're not the best looking nor the worst looking tire but for the value and performance you can do much worse.

 

yes.

 

Emailed them last night, hope to hear from them today.

 

I got Dick Cepek Extreme Country 255/85/16, the skinny 33's, and they feel like driving on stock tires. They weigh 50lbs which is about 5lbs more than my P rated wildpeaks in 265/75/16. The truck drove like stock until I regeared, which I highly recommend. The only downfall is the noise on the highway, but its nothing my stereo doesn't drown out.

 

Those seat jackers are the real deal. I didn’t realize how bad the seating position was, but I sure did after a 1500 mile trip (terrible lower back pain). These are worth every single penny and I wish I had bought them when I first heard about them. I’m 5’11” for reference.

 

Did you take the caps off or just tape off?
I have a can in the garage that is just waiting to be used.

 

I agree with quality of the sliders from Greenlane, the welds and powdercoating are excellent, and the fitment was also good.
This company is 10 minutes away from where I live, they just moved to a larger production facility, so I’m guessing they are having success. It made sense to go with this company due to my proximity, but beside that , they make a high quality product, I don’t think anyone would be disappointed.

 

FINALLY installed my 5100’s and Add-a-Leaf. Kept the OEM Coils on top perch. Rides great, a little stiffer but I welcomed it. NOT HARSH AT ALL! Alignment was dialed in perfectly. Very happy. Whole thing took me 4hrs of total labor. Easy-Peasy!

 

After 4 1/2 years my Lund 5" oval nerf bars were all rusted out and looked like crap, this morning i removed them and replaced with the aluminum predator steps. I like the looks better and won't have to worry about them rusting out

 

Front or back?

 

You are fast...just yesterday, I received the notice to now make an appointment to get the safety recall fixed. Previously they only gave me a warning letter that Toyota was working the issue.

 

Seems to be they are rolling this out in a lot of places, some sooner than others. Had mine done a few weeks ago.

 

Do you know how much it costs to lay frame? A lot. Painting is also expensive. Maybe hes saving up and doing it slowly as he can afford.....
