What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Had mine go off a few months ago in a series of unfortunate events that lead to me buying the Taco and I can say from personal experience that they didn't seem violent. They seemed like Bay Max dropped out of warp right in front of my steering wheel yelling "Surprise, motherf@#$er!"

 

That was the topper that made me buy a 3rd gen. Thought that was the slickest one I'd ever seen. Very nice addition you have!

 

If there was a heart button, I would've pressed it. Impressive you got that flex as much as you did with the sway bar still hooked up.

 

Anytime, my life is full of shit to laugh at!

 

it better not! actually just bought this one cuz my old one of 20 years finally clunked out...

 

there’s nothing at the tristate intersection just woods…. But I,have taken route 2 which is close many a time…

 

Its

It’s great… not far from greylock if I remember correctly….been up there a dozen times or more…

 

I know what you mean. The price of everything seems to be going up. Saving myself for either trans/diff skids or UCA’s next. Then sliders, HC bumpers, rims and possibly 35’s and a re-gear. It’s an expensive hobby to say the least. Looking forward to seeing your build evolve.

 

Yep, I got the front ones too.

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks! I'm thinking the extended version of the shocks help

 

You can't even get free advice anymore. The cost of that has gone up 27% just like everything else

 

Whenever the time comes to actually buy a HC rear bumper I might need to start panhandling. Them're muy expensivo.

 

Sad but true.

 

That’s for sure! I plan on doing the rear first since I seem to keep dragging my (useless to me) hitch receiver all over everything lol. Kind of torn between @WarFab Armor and Outgear Solutions. More than likely the former. I know it’s only a matter of time before I tear off one of the plastic bumper caps. Once I get the rear bumper squared away I’ll do the high viper cut to suffice until I get a front bumper and winch.

 

Remember: Vote early *and* vote often.

 

Thanks! Yeah the hobby isn’t cheap. It’s always good to have a strong support group of fellow Toyota enthusiasts in person and online!

 

do you have 5100 shocks on all 4 corners? Looks like the 5100 on the rear is a 1 inch lift but the AAL is a 1.5, they work together? I’m new to piecing together these things. Normally buy kits but I want to become a little more knowledgeable with it!

 

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Isn't that the point of internet forums? A place where you can get "sound" legal, medical, and financial advice from complete strangers.

 

Yes. 5100’s all four corners. The 5100’s themselves do not provide the lift, they provide the extra travel required for the lift from the AAL. As far as the front goes you can use the stock coils and set the perch at the second to highest notch; the only drawback is the coils are then under preload which is not great if you take it wheelin often. An aftermarket coil with the perch set on the zero perch is ideal so the lift is gained from the coil. e.g., I have the 5100’s with the peach at zero and OME 886 coils, which provided 2.5” of lift for the front. When I go to an aftermarket UCA I will 1) have more wiggle room so to speak for the alignment, and 2) a little more travel (articulation). Hope this helps some.
