What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Nice!

Here’s mine:

 

I’m no youngster, born the last year of the baby boomers, but I got used to it and it’s awesome. Especially off-road being able to see both front wheels, not that I don’t trust my spotter but it’s nice to see what the wheels are seeing.

 

Thanks! Now I’m dizzy.

 

Thanks.

Well this doesn't look promising.

 

Lifted my truck this past weekend 1.5 inch in the front and 1 inch in the rear. For the lift I did the bilstein 6112 / 5100 combo and a 1 inch block for the rear. I didn't want too much of a lift because I plan to stick with the 265 tires. While I was at it I also did the ECGS clamshell bushing and replaced the UCA with the JBA. Overall I am very happy with the results and the ride quality.

 

I just ordered one. Someone needs to take away my Etsy account...

In other news I finally got more electrical tape and finished my front dashcam install. It kind of looks like shit because I used T-taps but it's all tucked behind the rearview mirror so I never notice. I still need to put the rear in but I'll get to that later. For reference it's the Thinkware Q800PRO.

 

@N2DesignsInc Remote start module renewal for 3 years. I really liked the 1year free trial included with the remote start module. Yay, for Jimmy!

 

Impressive, nice work and design.

 

I just hooked them up plug and play. Still debating if I want to wire it up or not.

 

Washed her Saturday then viper cuts Sunday evening cause I was bored (it did not need the clearance lol).

 

Lift this morning. 5100's front / rear, stock springs, icon AAL 1.5", removed the overload bar. Front 5100's set to clip #4.

Honestly drives and feels great. Tires I put on yesterday are 275/70r17's and rubbed at almost any 90° turn in the road and driveways. No more

Before:
20.5 front
21.5 rear

After:
22" front (maybe a hair more)
23" rear

 

The Forester is the only other car I've experienced that is worse at dumping water in during rain. Bought a set of WT deflectors but had to remove them because the windows were too snug to operate.

Is it safe to assume the Tacoma's windows work just fine with the deflectors installed?

 

Strapped the supercharged Tacoma to the dyno.

Made 274 WHP

Stock on OV Tune 2.0: Made 212 WHP

Suspect bad gas. Looks to be pulling timing so will need a rematch.

 

Idk what I was expecting it to make stock or otherwise, but damn they are weak

 

Have to weld in the rest of the hindges for the storage door, add the locks and the handles but its slowly coming together... I need a break today though forgot I still have a life and a job im supposed to be doing lol.... cant wait to take it all apart to paint it to.

 

Awesome wish I had those skills

 

Soooooo you gonna make us some or what

 

Keep us informed, my super charger on order and I’m curious why your numbers seem pretty far off.

 

Magnuson’s numbers are stated at the crank whereas this is power at the rear wheels. The difference is drivetrain loss and also the difference of dyno.
