What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bed step installed, right before i had to log in to work




Edit: hehe, 69th post

 

Chrome delete on Rear Bumper, Side by Side for comparison

 

Go with SPC UCA's and set them at setting "G" and and have the alignment shop move your tire forward. You should be able to fit 35" tires without any rubbing because you already clearanced the front. I'm running 33" General Grabber 3 on a 2" lift no CMC and no rubbing at full stuff! Since you've already don all the cutting I can't see why you coundn't fit 35" tires.

 

Does that mean you’re getting a shell?

 

I worked on vehicle wiring for 20 years and when I saw the post with running the wires between the grommet and the metal of the firewall, I got sick.

Good for you to speak up and help people not cause short circuits and water leaks in their Tacos.

 

Naw I fit them now, I have the spc’s already but bigger shocks with a 2’ lift

I did the cmr with a high clearance front

but even with all that they were rubbing the fenders anytime I went up a steep hill with wheels turned.

but with the fiberglass fenders they aren’t

now I just need to get my winch installed and see if I need a stiffer spring up front…

I have a feeling after the winch and cab rack it’s gonna droop up front a little more..

 

Awesome you didn’t have to do a cmc

 

Do you know what your SPC's are set at? (How many degree of added Caster do you have?)
Setting "G" is no added Caster. You just use the SPC's to fix the Camber.
If you're running 35" tires with only 2" lift they will rub on the upper fender liner/well at full stuff. You can install larger bump stops to limit the up-travel of your suspension to get the maximum up-travel without rubbing. These truck are great for overlanding. But they are not the best option for extreme flex off-roading.

Good Luck with your build!

 

Got the UpTop Alpha Rack up. And lights wired in. Very pleased

 

Yes, I've been looking at the Cascadia 4x4 85W hood solar panel. Also dig the idea of a set up similar to what @Trail_limo_pro just posted, with solar attached to the iKamper.

 

I'm running the cascadia, I love it

 

agreed. I think I'd rather put that money into a couple lights triggered by the reverse circuit. I do like the tag-light kill mod somebody showed me the other day. I'm gonna have to get that at some point.

 

If I can't see well behind me I switch these on.

 

I still want to do something like this. I live in the mountains so extra light for working is a great help. This would make life much easier.

 

I'm thinking about doing something similar, but tucked up behind/under the bumper and pointed lower, more at the ground, than that and trigger the relay with the reverse light circuit instead of a dedicated switch. Might also run a separate switch just for assholes I see driving around with their lightbars on.

 

I have 4x of my 6x auxiliary light circuits paralleled to a wireless receiver so I can turn the lights on without being near the truck.

Are you just using the relays as low amp triggers for the main relays or are they full load? Also, did you install the box inside the cab or under the hood?

 

Got some upgraded shoes today, Cooper AT3 LT C Load, 265/75/16. Now to hunt down something in a used tire of similar height/size for the spare before Mr Murphy strikes.
