What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Made a DIY exoskeleton soft top Needs some work and find tuning still but all in all it’s good

 

Bilstein 5100's all the way around. Icon 1-1/2" AAL kit.

 

Big shout out to @adrenilinate for my adapter needs! I'll post up soon what it's for and how it works.

 

I did the same a few years back. Found out that the 4runner really didn't have much more usable room over the Tacoma, plus I lost the ability to haul things. Now I'm Back in a Tacoma! (My Tundra was way too large for our local parking stalls)

 

ACK!! Chrome wheels.

 

Damn, that's a nice 4 Runner.

 

LOL! They weren't chrome. They were machined aluminum.

 

Installed three layers of sound deadening material. Generic type of dynamat, close cell foam, and mass loaded vinyl.

Only did floor, fire wall, and back for now. Doing doors soon soon, but I ran out of time.

 

Speaking of printing adapters.. I printed this oil filter wrench

 

Nice man, you're going to notice a HUGE difference, especially after doing the doors

 

I hope so. Definitely noticed a difference with just this but not as much as I hoped for.

Do you know if its worth doing the roof? It seems most people don't, or at least from what I've noticed, but i'm wondering if its out of laziness or if its not worth the effort.

 

“Time to do some sketchy stuff. Doo-Dah, Doo-Dah. Hope I get away with it. Doo-Dah, Doo-Dah.”

Did this before the holidays last month. Switched out the longer bolts supplied by Roofnest for the shorter ones supplied by Front Runner and added a third set of FRO rtt mounts at the back for more stability/support.

Note: one can use a floor jack, a couple jack stands and a length of 2 x 4 on the Diamondback cover for making adjustments on your bed rack / crossbars cargo.

 

Not who you asked, but it's a reference to Super Bowl 52. Go Birds!

 

Honestly, if you're going this far you should go ahead and do the roof. I did mine and it did help a bit. Not as big as the rest of the truck but I have a roof rack and it helped cut down a bit on wind noise. I also have a sub in my truck that was flexing the roof really bad and the deadening stopped that completely.

 

Has anyone mounted a plow to their 3rd Gen?
I had one on my 2nd Gen (RIP). I’ve been searching the site but haven’t found any. I’m wondering how the 3rd Gen does with a plow.
I used the plow for my family only, I didn’t want to beat the truck. I still have the plow but I need to order a new mount. Just wondering….

 

Knobs > literally any other way engineers think I want to control volume

Thank you.
I was searching the wrong phrases

 

Has anyone removed and/or want to get rid of the amber grille lights for the pro grille. Snow storm seems to have ruined one of mine.
