What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Look for a tire shop that offers "road force balancing." I'm not an advocate for Discount Tire, despite them being a sponsor on here, as one of their "floor jack jockeys" caused several thousands in damage to one of my cars a few years ago. Their tires prices are cheap, but so is their quality of service. Many have had issues with Discount Tire improperly balancing tires on here including me.

 

Have you looked into RoadMaster Active Suspension? I have had mine for 3 years now. Been very happy with the performance.

 

Drove it to the mall

 

Tinted today. 20% all the way around and 50% windshield.

 

Many new tacos have flat rear springs even with nothing in the bed and no gas. It’s not as horrific as the gear ratios toyota puts in the automatic transmission, but definitely not one of their strong points. Your numbers look fine. Your springs look like, well toyota springs. I love my OME medium dekars, and it’s hard to get closer to OEM than OME!

 

Now that looks bad ass

 

Thanks!

 

Added Line-X rust proof coating to the frame!

 

A flat gray (whatever Ford's version of cement is) new Ford Bronco next to that OV-10 would be even cooler

Here in California, our state firefighting agency uses those OV-10s for aerial firefighting command aircraft (what they call an Air Attack). They're white with red and black accents. The white truck would look cool next to that, too.

 

it's my daily driver, so I'm probably not going to go too mod heavy one it, but I guess we'll see LOL

 

Usually you carry your spare tire there

 

hah; good one.

i just got a bit concerned at the amount of flat in the springs. wasn't sure if it was a pending catastrophic failure. i think i'm headed for an additional leaf & some sumospring bumpstops in the next few weeks. my blood pressure is starting to get back to normal.

thanks

 

in all honestyi never heard of them. so it's fairly similar to a horizontal shock? i gotta study up on them but it looks like another option.

thx

 

Had my oil changed today. Oil and filter was changed 1k miles before due so the maintenance light hasn't even turned on yet. Its better I had it done now because I'm going off to college here soon and won't have much access to the truck until december.

 

I didn't either until a TW member sent me the info about them. I pull a pop-up several times in the summer and we pack all kinds of stuff in the front bin for a week of camping which gives it a fair bit of tongue weight. Adding the RMAS made pulling the camper more manageable and the spring are adjustable if your load changes.

 

I struggled with sagging in the rear for the past few years when I added much weight. I recently added an ICON AAL and Firestone Airbags. I couldn't be more happy with the improvement. I have very little air in the bags ( 25 pounds ) and debatable whether I need them now but as time goes on I'm sure they will be handy. Last week I had my CVT RTT on, 120+ pounds of plywood in a custom drawer I'm building, 3 100ah batteries ( roughly 180 pounds ) and went to Home Depot to pick up 12 60lb bags of concrete although 6 of those were in floor boards of the cab. I never touched the airbags and it didn't squat at all. Same when I loaded up for camping a couple weeks back, including family, food, gear, wood, Dometic fridge ( full ), etc.. It has been a complete game changer regarding the stance of my truck.

 

Mounted a basketball goal using the concrete from my earlier post.


Also had my Victory 4x4 bumper mounted today. I've been waiting nearly 4 months for.

 

Digging the extra clearance to the tires.

 

Abyss is the Ford color

 

Just starting my new Tacoma build. Got BFG 285/70/17s, and KMC Grenades. I’ve got a long ways to go.
