What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Damn. I want to move out there. Never been. I hear it's beautiful.

 

The ones without acetone would not harm the plastic. That is what I used to remove the decals on my window visors.

 

Ahhh sales tax bumped the autozone one up to 810$ for me. Hotshot Off-road sells it for 808$. Both have free shipping so I’d say you got a good deal at 734$

 

Would you mind sharing where you got the hitch from?

 

Would you feel better if it lied with bigger numbers?



I'm thinking of building and patenting an MBM, a mileage bullshitter monitor. It will offer delusions of grandeur immediately upon filling and feed you bullshit statistics through most of the tank making it look like unicorns and paradise till you hit a reasonably safe distance of say...75 miles till empty, when it breaks the dreadful news you'll be visiting a gas station very soon offering the BOHICA dialog warning. Bend Over Here It Comes Again.

 

Upgrade to Bilstein 5100 all around, stock coils 5th notch, 1 inch block in rear.

What do you think of the road ride, now? Thinking about doing mine. Not sure if I should do Block or AAL in the ass end.

Did you go DIY or have somebody deal with the coils for you?

 

Not the OP but look into a RoadMaster Active Suspension kit for the rear.

 

I have the same one and am totally happy with it thus far... about a year old.

 

Interesting concept. Looks better than bags. I assume this is in addition to AAL or blocks? A little spendy as an 'addition to' but the 5100 lift is pretty inexpensive.

Nope. No AAL or blocks required. That's the beauty of the system. Totally DIY and is adjustable if one decided to add a topper for example.

 

I saw this on my local dealership's website. $69 for a bed mat!

 

I'm looking at their kit now. Never heard of them before and I'm struggling to understand the physics of how they are supposed to work.

 

It was a TW member that told me about it 2+ years ago. I purchased them to beef up my suspension when pulling a pop-up camper. Stability was greatly improved when towing. Also, had to make a slight adjustment due to the change in location and static height of the camper when I broke the crank on the camper and had to weld on a different jack. A few turns of the coil springs and I was lifted high enough to just back under the hitch and lower the camper without bottoming out the jack on the camper.

 

I think it depends on how the truck is being used. If just hauling and work then the Roadmaster should work fine. If it’s being taken off road more often than not I would go with a 3 leaf progressive AAL. I take mine off-road and don’t use it for work at all. I went with the 3 leaf AAL and left the overload leaf out which helps with articulation. The ride is great on the road as well. Just my .02

I have been off road with my Taco a few times and have not experienced any issues except for cleaning in that area afterwards. I would say extreme off roading would not work well with this type of suspension enhancement though.

 

That is roughly what mine shows, between 266 to 275 when I fill up. I do drive it like idc about mpg's, also like to warm it up and spend my lunch on it at idle 3 to 4 times a week.

 

Same here, bought it for a trip to Smoky Mountains. We had 4 people in my truck, so all of our stuff was in the bed. Kept everything pretty dry, even though it rained 4/8 days.
