What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Holy crap! Taking road kill to a whole new level!

 

The way back machine

 

Tons. So much in fact that I’m now addicted to it. I’m already looking at other parts of the body; like ok just pop these 2 panels off and you could deaden that whole area over there.
I foresee ordering another 36sqft box before I’m done with it lol.

Tire noise (KM3’s) coming from the back is gone, exhaust (Borla XS dumped @ the axle) is quiet. Pretty impressive, I’ve never sound deadened a vehicle before so I didn’t really know what to expect. Almost makes me regret the time I spent on the extra layers, should of just tried with one first.

 

Looks like something I used to play with in 29Palms.

 

2” Toyota Lift 285s and 17” TRD Pro’s

 

Any rubbing and was a cab mount chop done?

 

OE-254's. I used to have so much fun shaming the newbies that got taught you need 3 or 4 people to put one up correctly, including a freshly reclassed E7 that thought I was full of shit when I told him that was complete bullshit, when I proceeded to show them how one person can do it with laser-straight results.

 

I tried just the magnet, but with the case on my phone, it tended to walk down and go off charge, as well as fall off onto the floor. I got a charger with a bottom bracket and glued it to a dash mount I got off etsy. It charges pretty fast and I'm happy with it.

4. Add lift to the front end.

 

Im a total 3rd gen hater cause I hated my 19 cement TRD OR. But, that color on that truck is so fucking bangin!

 

That’s messed up! I thought 3 decaying frogs were bad…..

 

Yeah! Go full Gasser!

 

The magnet one needs to be the "pro" or something - whatever it's called it has better magnets and the metal does need to go outside the case. Same with the setup I have now but it's two smaller magnets. I had to actually use that magnet mount as the base for the wireless one due to the mounting angle. I just removed the magnets and front cover then filed it down flat so I could super glue it to the back of the wireless charging base. TBH, I see myself going back to the magnet mount. I tried the one like you have when I first got the truck and I didn't enjoy it. Having to open and close it manually was kind of odd and it always moved the position. At first I was going to do those real high speed "Overlanding" style mounts but they were essentially the same design as the grabbing style. What I plan on doing instead is probably just adding a usb-c magnet to the phone and replacing all my cables with magnet cables then going back to the basic magnet mount in the truck. This way I don't have to plug anything in and can still just slap it up there real quick. I'm kinda picky about it

I also tried that etsy mount too. I thought it sat a little too high. Here is what I previously had and what I'll probably be going back to but with the magnetic cable instead:

 

Yes those first world problems are real! Have you ran the terra grapplers before? I’ve had Toyo’s in the past but never the Terra’s.

 

Did you follow a guide on getting things out of the way? What about those vents back there? How is noise after? I've done all my doors but that's it and I still hear a lot of road noise coming from the rear.

 

No. Wanted them for my Pathfinder when I bought wheels for it. Unfortunately they had not been available.

I've really only heard good things about them. Same with the Toyos. So I'm up in the air. Price difference isn't great either.

 

I’ve been considering tires for when I do the lift. I’ve been leaning towards the KO2’s but the grappler G2 looks great and I’ve also only heard good things.

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!
