What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

New headlights are in (shitty day pic) and AL Offroad trailgate on. Quite a day.

 

285 70 toyo with 17 helos. Now I sit on my thumb and wait for the lift....

 

Nice, really like that grille too

 

Yeah they were rebadged rangers as far as I know... Unsure of any cab differences. The Mazda was a little bigger than the Toyota as far as head and leg room but the Toyota seemed a bit wider overall if I remember correctly. All I know is I can't fit into those and I fit in my B3000... I didn't have a ton of room, but I was comfortable enough

 

5160’s on the rear

 

I have old school pictures (i.e. actually prints!) somewhere of my 97 B2300. Yes it was a Mazda, just a rebranded ranger. I likedt he look of the body on it moreso than the Ranger and they were cheaper than the ranger. Think I paid $14k for a 2WD.

 

At first glance I thought you had 12” spacers.

 

Got new shoes today!
Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo3 LT 265/75/16

 

Well plans got changed. Was going to be putting on some Fox 2.5's but thanks to some porch pirates that didn't happen. But made the best of my time and put my sliders on.

 

Yeah, I'm 5'10" so it wasn't an issue. I had my 97 Taco for almost 23 years and then gave it to my son, who is still driving it.

 

My Dad's first truck was a Ford Courier complete with add-on air conditioning
My 1st "truck" was a 1970 El Camino.

 

Some recent mods to my turd

 

I’ve been wanting to see pictures of that color installed. They look darker than the website. Are those picture pretty accurate to the shade of blue? Any pics in the sun? Thanks! Looks great!

 

Nice skids but where are the drain holes?

 

no drain hole. You change oil like men

 

I’ve been frustrated trying to figure out a quiet rattle during idling and I thought it was maybe my rifle cases on my prinsu so I took them off to check. As long as it isn’t in the engine I’m fine with that. Taking off the cases today I think I may of found it... One of my crossbars was ready to come off.

 

Maybe it's just the camera angle, but seems like its a bit off??

 

Bro, you need a hobby.
Just playing.....sort of.

 

I think you might be cutting it close with a softtopper. I have Thule racks.

 

Kinda surreal.... my thumb didn't even get brown.

I literally posted this, then a couple hours later I got a call....

I fully expected my lift to be "in stock" the second week of May, per Ryan at Wheelers Offroad. I got in line back in February, and had no complaints on waiting due to the "pandemic".

I got a call tonight from a gentleman named Gary (Wheeler) stating that the rest of my lift is in and will ship ASAP!!!

I can't speak highly enough of the guys at @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc for not only keeping me informed of what's going on, but also beating their estimated ship date by WEEKS!

I work in an industry that has been highly impacted by the Rona.... have patience guys! Everyone is trying their hardest!
