What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Welcome. Hope you got multiple sources of income.

 

This method makes me uncomfortable. If somehow that bolt works its way loose, the UCA bolt can just fall out when installed in this orientation. It's not that difficult to install these properly. Reinstalling those UCA bolts is really overhyped from the reviews I've read on here. Was nowhere nearly as bad as how most people make it sound. More difficult on the driver side but really not bad. If you can get that far into the suspension install yourself, reinstalling the UCA bolt's properly isn't much of a hassle. Not saying this is guaranteed to happen.. but IMO, do it the way factory did. They're that way for a reason.

Never updated y’all but I had a 2.5” lift and 33” MT Yohohama Geolanders installed after having the cab mount chop performed. Love the feel of the ride since.

 

Toyota factory service manual shows them being run in "backwards" for replacing UCAs on Tacoma. Make a witness mark, the UCA bolts are not going to wiggle out.

 

Ehhh.. still personally not about it. This has been debated a bunch. Do what makes you happy though. The added security of throwing them on correctly makes me sleep easier.

 

how long did it take? how do you feel about the quality? is this the east detailing one? if it it ive ordered mine and its on the way and im looking forward to it

 

This might be a little too ghetto for some, but for those who don't have bed lights this was an easy $20 option. These lights have a motion sensor plus a power button so you can choose to leave them on/off as well. I used 50lb heavy duty mounting tape to adhere to the bed so all I would need is some adhesive remover to return back to stock if I decided I didn't like them.

 

Welcome! Drive it stock for a few months until you figure out what you want to upgrade or improve. Then hang on to your wallet extra tight, because you'll see stuff you never thought you needed before and it adds up quick.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I definitely will bro. I appreciate all the info. Super helpful. I’ll tag you in a few months when I make it happen. Gonna pay off the remaining 11k and then continue to mod away after that. Front bumper / winch set up is first on the list. Thanks again!

 

Yes it’s the east detailing one and before that I had an eBay one. And honestly I saw no difference in quality I thought the east detailing one would have more material in certain spots that would make it fit better. Was a bit disappointed. I’m almost certain east detailing gets there stuff from the same Chinese manufacturer.

 

Nice looking truck

 

Neat, those look almost like 2nd Gen flares. Very cool, didn't know fat bois like that we're available.

Did you have to paint match, or do they come finished?

 

What size tires do you get?

 

The company that sells them will paint to match

 

Curious why you didn't go with the $35 set that plugs directly into the factory harness behind the tail lights. Also, those solar panels are going to work amazing under the tonneau cover

 

Didn't catch the full comm but 4Wheel Parts has a nice looking bumper that has a wing add-on, also. Probably not as cool as SSO but I've been eyeballing it since it came out several months back

 

How are the lights going to charge under the cover?
