What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have not installed the grill yet...but it sounds like you found a workaround for this little flaw. Doesn't it come with some screws?

You've had no issues with the garnish that came with the Empyre Grill?

Did you add flathead washer (to each side) to offset the angle of the TSS? (Suggested on the site YouTube video)

I'm debating whether to wait until I schedule the TDR Lift at the dealership. I may just sell the grill...not sure yet.

He said he stapled it on so it's not going to be convenient to remove.

 

Oh, that’s not good. I hope nobody mistakes it for an overheated dog and breaks a window trying to save it!

 

Caliraised has good skids too. I have their gas tank skid. I think they usually have them in stock.

 

I was still able to pinch a little washer in that space to offset the TSS angle. It’s only held there by pressure though, so only time will tell if it stays put. I’ve had zero issues with the TSS’s operation thus far..

 

Thanks! I’ll check it out.

 

the ome arms really won’t give much additional caster. And the op was right, SPC arms give hands down the most adjustment and maintain a sealed ball joint for minimal maintenance. If you’re gonna run 35’s a cmc is probably not going to me enough. You’ll more than likely need a full CMR.
Spc’s with a 3” lift, cmr, and 34’s

 

took a cool from above shot

 

Are you running spacers? Do you have front and side pics? TIA and thanks for the advice. Just want to plan ahead and do it right the first time!

 

This is how it starts...

 

@thomasburk that isn't even more sweat-inducing?!

 

Working on it. Will definitely need them before we start our camping season.

 

There is a screw that should hold the washer in-place. At least, that's what I saw around the 8 minute mark of this video:

At the 6 minute point, you'll see the mounting spot for the screw.

Completed diff breather relocate!

Needed to customize my own flat flushed deep 6 sided 14mm socket

this is my mangled old breather

 

Here's the plate that came off the Sport...the OR's plate extends a little further but pretty much same thickness. The Air Dam had to come off as well.



The TRD Skid is a beautiful upgrade.

Built some brackets to mount my traction boards for the winter even though winter is nearly over.

 

My OCD prefers rainx washer fluid so held off filling mine until empty. It took a full gallon with some room to spare.

 

Yes! I got one of those, I'll try this method. Thumbs up.

 

Looks good! Did you put the vent on the top of the gas nozzle compartment? I’m getting ready to do this same thing and was trying to figure out where exactly I was going to put the new check valve.

 

It's still clean! I'm not that tough on car interiors, but GF is a whole completely different story. I had thought this through, and if it ever gets to the point where it needs a good scrubbing I'll submerge it in a bucket of warm water and woolite detergent-you ever use that stuff? Dirt just flows off of garments and then they're squeaky clean. I'll then leave in in the sunshine all day to dry it, removing it from vehicle is the only disassembly required.
