What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Lift, tires, wheels, bed cover, steps, rust proofed, and under 300 on the odometer.

 

I think people do it the other way because your way just looks like you hit a tree.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind remarks...... guess you would have to see it in person. Looks more purposeful than just hacking a diagonal line to your fender just cause...

 

Not to be an ass.
But it actually does look like you hit a tree. (Just being honest) Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear.
The Viper cut actually follows the front bumper lines better.
I don't have either cuts. Personally I like the stock bumper look.
But if I were to need approach angle clearance? I would definitely do the Viper cut. But that's just my personal opinion.
The main thing is that you're happy with how it looks.

 

Awesome rig!! So glad to see someone else running the Grabber ATXs…I don’t see them around too often.

 

Tried to write this in @daveeasa 's thread about the DIR kit... but it yelled at me for <50 posts.

For those with a bolt from bed stiffeners sticking in: it's snug between the bed light wires, probably woulda been fine


But you can easily move the bed light wires and there's plenty of space:


@daveeasa really made this such an easy to use kit. Cheers

 

Maybe I did hit a tree and i'm making excuses... Funny thing is, I can still cut off more to look like i hit a rock instead like everyone else...
Clearence was my objective.. something different was my other objective.

Appreciate it! awesome tire!! Just hope they don't become as popular as the KO2

 

Nailed It!

 

Nice. I used a higher bolt for the relay. But we determined it was purposeful, for river crossings.

 

At home quarantining and was bored so I did the AC drain mod even though I think it’s a pretty low yield project.

 

Did the rear diff breather mod. Ran the hose into the gasshole bay. Never understood why Toyota did not do this from the factory. Now time to find a water hole that is deeper than 18"!

 

Great mod! Super cheap to do and way worth it in the long run considering Toyota's history with frame rot. Another one of those no brainer items that should have been done at the factory.

 

Well done on the Kolpin mounts. I posted about switching to them recently and how they’re wayyyyyyyyy better than the Quick Fist garbage. My Quick Fist tabs ripped literally the first time I secured my recovery equipment.

I used the 3” Kolpin mounts and now secure both my axe/shovel in the same 2 mounts, freeing up space rather than my old setup of 4 mounts for 2 tools. This freed up room to mount my first aid kit on the same MOLLE panel, making it easily accessible, which wasn’t possible with my old setup.

 

I'm thinking it'd be sweet if those bed light connectors could go vertical but the hole seems oval. I could attempt to locate/identify a tree which might be 90 degrees and would snap into place but I don't know of that off the top of my head.

 

The new Diesel 4X4 Hilux name is spot-on.

 

Did you ship this into the country?

Jelly

 

I can't see. What are we looking at here?

 

The new diesel Hilux is called invincible and has that stamped across the tailgate and on the side.

 

I wish I could get it to the US. I'm in Europe and saw it at the dealer near me.
