What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Swapped my snow tires on. Nokian Hakka R3 in 265/70-17 on 2016-2019 TRD Sport wheels with TRD center cap decals.

This is the 2021 iteration of my snow tire package. I keep changing things and changing my mind up. This is my final iteration, I think.

2020 - 265/70-17 Nokian Hakka R3 | FJ Cruiser Wheels - I liked this more in my mind than I did on the truck, it wasn't bad, but it was HEAVY and getting those center caps on was...hellish.

2019 - 265/70-16 Hankook I-Pike RW11 | SR/SR5 Steel Wheels - this was another one of "I want to do the base model steel wheel thing" as a final year on those tires.

2018 - 265/70-16 Hankook I-Pike RW11 | Stock TRD OR wheels - first winter lifted and I went back to stock wheels since I had TRD Beadlocks / KO2s. I liked this look but changed it in 2019 since I didn't want to ruin the wheels in the salt. I think once my Hakkas wear out six years from now I'll put these back on a 265/75-16, likely a Blizzak since Nokian doesn't do that size in P-rated.

2016-2017 - 265/70-16 Hankook I-Pike RW11 | 2G TRD OR Wheels - Leftover from my 2013, they worked great before I went to the Beadlock / KO2 and had my stock 3G OR Wheels and the goal was to reduce the number of wheels (that's a joke)

I'll have to see what the TRD Sport wheels look like outside of the garage. I don't think I will change up my wheels again, unless the TRD 17" forged beadlocks fall into my lap. I don't really like the SEMA wheels on a highway tread tire without white letters, the 4Runner Trail wheels are HEAVY and the painted silver 4Runner SR5 wheels are nice and the lower offset is nice, but not enough to make me swap wheels for a 6th time.

Thanks for coming to my slide show. I'm Mike and I have severe wheel addiction issues.

 

I Just got some General Grabber AT's (265/70R17) to replace the OEM Toyo Open Country AO2 (265/65R17).

The OEM Tires only have 12,990 miles on them so I'll be selling them. I'm gonna stay with the stock wheels and paint them until I can decide on new wheels.

 

I just changed my Front and rear Differential oil as well as my Transfer case at 28k appx …..all pretty easy except a pump for the front diff would’ve made that a lot easier…..

 

Almost completed the wiring for my diesel heater, we’ll see if I can get a test run in tomorrow…



This is where it mounts, diesel rotopax for the tank. It’ll go where the rear waterpax is.

 

Doesn't the heater itself get hot?, concerned about the plastic case...

 

Looks good! I love the morimotos

 

Picked these up on sale from Caliraised.

I really only wanted the passenger side, but i put both on for the hell of it. Ill just put some first aide stuff and a flashlight or two on these. Just wanted those items available quickly, so, the mount is perfect.

 

I was so excited about my Leer 100XR cap that I forgot to mention that the guy threw in this Bedrug for free. It's NICE!!! Very comfy.

In case anyone is curious, the cap was $800 used in Pennsylvania. Sliding windows is the only feature...not even a headliner. But, ya get what's available. Not much in used market around here and couldn't wait for a new one. Looking to order an ARE with the HD frame and roof rails. I figure I can sell this one when the new one comes in.

 

Got my Roofnest condor xl today

 

Put in the Husky Liners (X-ACT) saw them here from another member and liked them. Shout out to Husky for making me the customer happy, the first set driver side had a big defect in it and they sent me a new set first then I returned the old ones. Very happy.

 

It pulls in outside air

 

Yeah but as the questioner posed, does it get hot itself?

 

Admitting it is the first step. Your poor truck is going to need counseling for multiple personality disorder after all that.

 

They’re slightly countersunk.

 

Yeah, and that doesn’t count the black and gunmetal TRD Beadlocks I had. The black never got mounted, and the gunmetal / KO2 are my 3-season wheels. As of right now I still have four sets of wheels for the truck. Let’s not discuss that I change grilles, fog lamps and bed attachments for the winter.

I’ve changed the wheels on every vehicle I’ve owned, some more than others. My first car had 3 sets, my STi had 4, my Toyota Pickup had 2, the Vette has had 4, my 2013 Tacoma had 5…

I just like wheels or something.

 

Finished suspension now that the Deaver leaf packs came. Bilstein 5160s to go with the 6112s up front. Needed to prepare for camper install.

 

Isn't the hose supposed to be routed the other way, so it's a "U" shape?

 

It is a u-shape

 

Gotta do bump stops too, the oem are not good at all.

 

You can get some custom decals to replace the husky ones if you choose...
