What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Put in the deaver stage 2’s, wescott front kit and ditched the sway bar. Started around noon, finished up about 8:30. Took it for a little spin, rides great. Didn’t have it in me to put the tires on, I’ll do that tomorrow.

I hope this thing settles a bit, it’s more than the 1 1/2 - 2” I was expecting!

After:



Forgot to mention, used the method of lowering the LCA to disassemble the spring from the shock. Holy shit that’s SO much easier than using coil compressors!

 

Are you willing to share the supplier?, those sill protectors look good!(mud flaps too)

 

Yes both were from Tufskinz

 

A full shift?? Man mine was done in 2 hours! Guess I got lucky or they didn’t do it! Either way I have the life time powertrain warranty

 

Had it less than 2 months and just over 6k miles added, not bad considering I had a 2,200 mile round trip to TX

 

The chrome just works with the red, awesome looking truck

 

I’ve got Cali ditch lights, Diode Dynamics fogs, Baja Design light bar. All work as advertised, although I rarely use ditch and light bar. Fogs stay on night and day. Cali’s, from what I understand are from China. The other 2 probably use Chinese diodes but at least they are assembled in the USA, DDs here in St Louis. Bajas most expensive, like $500 for 20” bar. Got them through Memario1215.

 

Photo, duh

 

To be fair I was the one who chose to wait around, under the assumption that it would be on the lift at least somewhat close to the 9:00 AM appointment time. Once it finally hit the bay around 3:00 it was just under two hours. Lesson learned!

 

Got tires, and took a photo while waiting for an alignment. 235/86R16 ST Maxx

 

Just had the TRD lift kit installed.

 

Got back from Mojave Road trip.

 

Did some things, added bed stiffies,
And set 2 of the 3 bed bars up.

It was a trying day with wrong paint, broken spray nozzles and T55 torx oh my. The third bar has some bracket straightening to do. Also check this out, typical? I've seen metal crack when bent before but...

 

That looks freakin' awesome. I have the same setup except for stage 3's sitting at home waiting for me to return from deployment. What size tires are you going to fit under there?

 

im in SE Idaho! Looking for some good used sliders!

 

Ordered up gears and lockers from ECGS. Should be a fun install video.

 

Can’t wait to see this video. I plan to take the 3 hour drive to ECGs sometime soon to get 4.88. Your video will come in handy, like they do for most of my mods.

 

Thanks man, 285/75R16’s are waiting patiently for me to get off my ass and put them on

 

Yea for me. I was considering doing the same thing. Your pic helped me make up my mind.
