What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Weird looking tacoma

 

I’ll have to look into it. I appreciate the info, I’m waiting on my bumper to come In and I have to add my winch. Later this month. Those are my next mods and I’m done for alittle while.

 

For sure! I do this stuff for a living so I have a pretty in- depth knowledge of how it all works. Feel free to message me if you ever have a question! A good way to save a little coin is to buy the pre-setup diffs from east coast gear supply, install them yourself and then send them your old ones as cores. You can order them with any locker/ gear ratio you could probably want with many options. They're a very reputable company. Good luck with your build!

 

says the Road Warrior. Yes, I have racked on quite a few miles.

 

Change oil and diff fluids. transfer case soon. Need to source the oil. Had 5100's set at 1.1 in the front and yesterday put in a 1/2 in spacer for the rear. Alignment done today. It was a good couple days.

 

I was just thinking about this Jeep in my rear view today. Much newer, but definitely built up. It’s funny cuz they sometimes look like someone is giving the butthole pucker/mouth face.

 

With a trailer too huh?

 

Are you referring the "angry eyes" grilles that seem to be so common nowadays with Jeep owners?

 

that is dreamy!!! that is actually the look I am going for for the wheels and tires on my Taco...old school

so the "high school kid" in me could not let this pass...


happened yesterday...

 

Almost nothing lower than a thief, except of course for a loser who destroys other people’s property just for kicks. I’ve had both done to vehicles over the years and it would just be great to just once catch someone in the act

 

So this is what I've learned so far with these SPC.
After my alignment was done my caster on both side are set at 1.8 degrees. (I'd prefer 2.0 degrees) Very minor rubbing while reversing. Truck drives great! BUT!
Having them on setting "E" isn't enough.
I'm going to set them at setting "F" and have the alignment shop set the caster at 2.0 degrees. That should eliminate all of the rubbing with NO CMC done to the truck. 285's should fit perfectly.
The more I mess around with these the more I seem to learn. I will be updating the links in my sig. to reflect this new information.

 

Three car seats????? How’d you manage?

 

It’s really a shame what happened to your truck. I have to wonder where CA is headed. I think Prop 47 set the stage for a decline that may take decades to fix.

Maybe try installing the glass breakage sensor when things get fixed. PT398-35160. Best of luck https://toyotaparts.bochtoyotasouth.com/oem-parts/toyota-anti-theft-alarm-system-pt39835160

 

Replaced my factory front end bump stops with these Sumo Springs. I really like the feel of these. Big thanks to @TheRedComet for posting his experience with these. You can read about them with the link below...

I bought mine directly from Super Springs during the Labor Day sale...

Also removed the black door pillar vinyl.

 

I think I am, actually. They do look angry, about what, I’m not sure.

 

Seems my smartcap is in the same storybook!

 

Great looking truck! Glad you enjoy the sumos too! Seems you had the same experience i did with having to squish them in there a bit.

 

Thank you bro! Yea I felt the difference right away. The front feels more stable, but not rough. I really like em

 

That would be cool, but those are just lights no camera.

 

LOL true maybe cuz they identify as a Tacoma and just can't get there LOL
