What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

OOoooAHaaa

 

In Preparation for my Victory 4x4 bumper on order I installed this a couple weeks back. Quality product from @Gilmorec61

Today, to help with my excessive payload when camping 800+ pounds, I had Icon AAL and airbags installed today. Feels better on the road unloaded and if the rear starts to sag fully loaded I'll just pump some air in the bags. It raised my rear about 1/2 inch from my previous blocks only.

Opted to pass on the built in inflator for the airbags and replaced it with an ARB single. 99% of the times I will inflate the bags I will be loading up at home and use my compressor at the house.


Curious how fast/slow this would inflate so I aired down to 25. It took 6.5 minutes to get from 25 to 39 for all 4 simultaneously. Used my home made airing tool I call "The Great Equalizer".



And icing on the cake I broke out my daughter's cricut and jumped on the bandwagon. This truck might have been designed in Japan and built in Mexico (???) but this is America where I am free to buy/build/sell the products of my choice.

 

Had a tune done this evening by a local guy, Josh Zerlan. If you're in KC hit him up - I'm very happy with the results.

 

That multi tire inflator is bad ass!

 

New OEM windshield.

 

Do the OEM's come with the Go Pro mount?
I've never used mine, but I'm curious if those are still a thing.

 

Yeah a while back I just had this idea and got trigger happy on Amazon. I wish the hoses were a little more flexible but otherwise it's great. More recently, just before I decided on onboard air, I bought a female air chuck and a 1/2" pipe fitting with a tire valve. That way I can actually adapt it to work with a gas station pump if the need arises.

 

If that’s the guy I think it is, he’s researching a tune for my manual trans. I’m trying to postpone a re-gear after the 33” tires.

 

It's a good battery. I have 3. Mustang, golf cart, truck bed for solar. (truck bed is a AGM from AZ.

OVTune. Thanks @Dank Donkeh Luvver.

 

Got the fuel pump recall done. Only took about 3 days, got to drive around a 2021 RAV4 and genuinely didn’t enjoy the way it drove.

she’s home now and to celebrate I installed the pak rax tailgate cover.

 

About twice a year I wash my wallet, knife and my FOB in the washing machine. It's called Vodka.
My factory one never failed.

 

Welcome to my world ....

 

Glad to help, man! I like that they let my kiddo get in the truck more easily, but also don't hang too low. They're also about 1/2 the price of the Gen3 version!

 

Yes and I do. It’s definitely a game changer. I started a small shop a little over a year ago. Planning for retirement!

 

And they’re on! Rides awesome, love the combo of the Wescott front, deaver rear and tire size. CBI rear will definitely settle it down a little in the back just enough.

 

Sorry to hear man. I had same issue in April 2019 - hit from behind - screwed up my neck and lower back. STILL on disability... so yeah I feel your pain. Good that you got your truck fixed though.

 

Cleaned her up real good....the pollen here in Northern NJ is some kinda terrible this time of year

 

Nice. Did you add the

$74 Firestone WR17602506 Air-Rite 2" Axle Bracket Extension

axle extensions?

 

Not those particular, but something similar it seems. Possibly something cut on location? I had the install done. Former life I was a diesel mechanic on motor yachts but I've been in IT for 20+ years and have no suspension experience so some things I will leave to the experts. Reputable and knowledgeable shop, hopefully they are taking good care of me. Work looked good from what I've inspected. Very happy so far.
