What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

im not familiar with the interior of fancy rubicons. Congrats on the purchase!

 

Over the past 3 days. Had a lift installed, new wheels and tires

 

May be not what I did, but what God did (and truck camera captured):

Got/mounted a winch. Wireless Smittybilt 10k, synthetic, Factor Flatlink. Clearence is super, super tight with this Chassis Unlimited bumper, which is a good thing.


Got around to getting a matching/fullsize spare 35 instead of the spare 33 I had, so hand mounted that. Also put the rear swing out on the other day, crazy how much it softened the ride with just shifting the tire back 2-3 feet instead of in the bed.


Also toyed around and stripped a couple of my wheels down to the machine finish instead of the bronze they were, trying to decide what beadlocks I want to go with here soon. Polished it is.

Also swapped my dented Tom Woods dline back in aswell. Going to Naches, Wa for the weekend to party

 

I looked into getting black ones to change the color-matched ones. I will live with my color-matched bumper covers for the prices they want for a simple piece of plastic.

 

2021 Gladiator Rubicon

 

I absolutely love it, glad I did so much research beforehand. Price is definitely up there but it’s an amazing tent. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat, but this thing will last forever so I won’t need to! I thought about putting it on my cab also but wanted access to the cab when it was opened. It would be right at home up there though. You might have a little buyers remorse after pulling the trigger on one but as soon as you use it that’ll be long gone

What grill is that and where can one get one? Thx. Looks great BTW

 

Can you provide the specs on these wheels and tires? I want these wheels. I see lots of them that are 4mm and 5mm offset. I’m running 265 70 17 and I’m not rubbing but no room left.

 

I sure am; PM me for the link to my craigslist post with photos etc

 

Had one of these in my 5th gen Runner and kind of missed it. Guy had one left. The center is an old dealership pin.

 

Thanks! They're awesome! They were from @no vtec 4me He did great work and was excellent at answering my 50 million questions

Here is his thread on them: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/retrofit-and-bhlm-headlights.565466/

 

Waiting for mine, how long did it take to get to you?

Big fan of the clean, simple lines of the SR

 

Technically last night, but it was too dark to snap photos. I made a truck bed mid-height rack with some leftover aluminum extrusion from my truck bed box project. Dog-approved!

 

Sure! They are the trd pro wheels for the 2017 4Runner. Lots of dealers still sell them. 17”. I believe they are a 12mm offset. Tires are bfg ko2’s 265/70/17

 

SSO sale going on. New bumper coming.
Great discount. 17.76 % off all orders.

 

I had the same issue when I installed mine. Turns out that the rubber base/seal wasn't flush with the side rail - it wasn't on all the way. I had to remove the whole thing and make sure both were flush. Problem fixed.

 

just remember that true beadlocks are not legal for street use.
