What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bought a trailer hitch and 2inch cap for my SR (install on a warm day or the spring)

it’s so much fun adding accessories to my truck…. I can’t stop.

 

Picked up a new project. 1967 Sunbeam Imp and going to put a BMW K1200RS motor in it.

 

Bought a used 2018 TRD Pro from vroom. I highly recommend avoiding this company. It took 3 weeks for them to finally deliver my truck. The whole experience was a nightmare! However I am loving my new truck! Threw on some rockblockz to help keep that cavalry blue beautiful!

 

I live in the Charlotte area. I’ve actually built a couple for some people in the area. So if you’re interested lmk.

 

Buddy of mine at work just took delivery of a Camry from Vroom last week. Three weeks late. When they delivered it, the antitheft ignition blocker was enabled and the car refused to start & refused recognize the keyfobs provided. Last I heard he had a very expensive paper weight parked at his curb and was three days into phone calls with them trying to even get the damn thing to start. Yikes.

 

We had almost a foot of snow when we got up this morning, so after a safety briefing....I decided to check out the snow performance of my new Cooper Tires by towing the girls in and out the driveway. It's about 1000ft long so I was getting up to almost 20mph...



On the tire front the Cooper AT3 LT's did well. Even though it was just the driveway, our drive is an adventure in the snow and slush season and it always the most difficult part of going out in the snow. If we can make it out of the drive, it's easy going until we have to get back in the drive. With the AT3's I could stop and start again on the steep parts I know I'd just have spun on with the all season tires I just replaced.

 

2nd gen wheels, does it have the Fox suspension?

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I'll be sending you a pm shortly

 

nice! with a long bed you may not have needed the trailer

 

Isn't that a bit dangerous?

 

Looks like the isobars we had in our area yesterday. Windy with gust over 50. Drawing looks great.

 

Primed / painted / cleared my calipers with high heat paint last week.

Also 86'd the sway bar.. It's still pictured here but it's gone and I won't be missing it at all. This suspension is more than capable of keeping up without it and any weight off the front end of these trucks is beneficial.

 

Installed Sokietech Hood Struts. Very easy to do and the hood opens 5.5" more.

 

Where did you ground the negative cable to? the frame or the battery?

 

I'm curious about this too. Looks...wrong.

 

Mine are kinda sluggish this winter. They still open but real slow.

 

I've been thinking about doing that too, but I think I'm leaning more toward the Spiker version since it leans the pistons the other direction. In my mind that makes it a bit easier to access close to the firewall from either side.
