What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

ARB compressor wired up to the overhead console. Install will be up on the channel soon.

 

I know there are threads out there already and I've been looking throught them but finding the right answers in all that mess is always harder than it should be. What are you fellas doing as far as leveling your trucks? 5100s or something else? Not looking to lift much, but I'm thinking about leveling after I remove my spacer lift, not sure. We'll see how I like the stock suspension/rake.

 

Sitting on stock wheels for now..

 

Bought this for my Taco. "Scrrrream for me Long Beach! Anybody here from Long Beach, CA?

Beiqi 2 Pieces Quick Latch Bumper Release Hood Locks for Cars Bumper Quick Release Kit，Hood Locks for Cars，Bumper Latch，Length 3.93"(Black Plus)

hood pins for my Duraflex FRP hood.

First a 1.50" hole thru the bottom layer for socket access, then a 0.75" hole thru the top layer for the latch:



Probably spent an hour adjusting each pin to the correct length...

 

How much of a lift is that?

 

$25 !!! That's a heck of a deal you should post that in one of the threads about how great mountain hatch inserts are.

 

If you get Tweeters from BAM Whole sale (Google it -- this site doesn't let you put links from them on here). They currently have them on sale for $82.76 for a set. You usually don't have to pay sales tax (unless you live in Ohio -- which where they are based).

You do have to pay for shipping, but if you use code "minus20"it knocks 20% off shipping cost. It's not a whole lot, but it beats nothing.

 

I think around 2.5” in the front, and in the rear I have Deaver U402 stage 1 with BAMF hangers and shackles.

 

I would say yes, but the chrome goes better with silver than most other colours I think.

 

I know people do it but I’m afraid it’ll get soooo many rock chips over time, or chip/peel after washing 100 times. I’m gonna go this route.

Got it dirty with many friends today at BHM off road test facility.

 

If you turn on the charger, do the keys dance with St. Elmo's fire?

;-)

 

I put 5100s with ome 887 up front and a 1” block in the rear. I would like to change the rear shocks and aal but not happening right now.

 

that route is certainly more durable. I dipped mine before switching to a pro grille. Was on for a year through heavy winter. Pounded it with the pressure washer many times and didn’t peel. Nor did I get any rock chips. I did get some rock chips in my hood scoop though. One of these days maybe I’ll wrap it instead.

 

Honestly never knew what the hell it was lol. It’s been a change/junk tray the whole time.

 

What did you do as far as prep and application for all those little parts in the grill? Or did you just do the border around the insert?

 

I took the chrome surround piece apart from the grill. Just cleaned it with alcohol and dipped it.

 

Ah ok I was thinking you plasti dipped the actual grill insert as well as the surround.

 

probably the first time I've seen a fully built tacoma sitting on stock tires lol. Its like putting a BMW engine in a tacoma
