What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey thanks for the info and pics!

 

You got it!

 

Just installed them with the wheels on the truck and didn't rotate them at all; I just adapted to how it was positioned. It might be easier with the wheels off of the truck and laying flat on the ground.

 

What brand of rear rack unit do you have?

Wont that grille guard mess with the Toyota safety sensor?

 

That is pretty funny, a straight 6 getting over 500hp.

The straight 6 from my old F150 was amazing. Slow as thick snot, but perfect for the bush which is what it was used for. It was my daily driver too. I could not beat anyone off the line unless 4 of their cylinders were blown, but 4-lo was so low you basically had to get out and push to get it to move. Grunt power. Any stories you have seen are true about put it in first gear 4-lo, let out the clutch and walk beside it, uphill or down. I miss that, crawl control in my Taco is pretty wierd and honestly just not as good as those old granny gears in the Ford 6 cylinder.

Thats the old stuff though, I would not buy any Ford truck today that is newer than 1994 model.

 

With a little drilling you don't have to ditch the cat protectors. Although I don't know what the tranny skid is like

 

That’s with just the engine skid. They have to be removed for the transmission skid. Take a closer look at the second and third pic.

 

Where did you purchase the skid plate from?

 

You’ll like it. I have the same one!

 

Thought this looked cooler than the stock piece of rubber. Also have a black one but this one is classier.

 

It's an RCI skid I bought new off another TW member

 

Having trouble seeing the forward mounting location of the stock bars with the plates installed, is it the bolt holes or does the plate simply get in the way?

 

Looks great!

 

One way to level the truck

 

My dad had an 89 Toyota pickup regular cab, he got 13 years and 89,000 miles out of it, in a mild climate - never got too cold. Not sure if they are making batteries like that anymore.

 

Replaced my shift knob

 

Not very exciting, new battery...Tough start this morning, never actually looked at the battery when I bought it used. Dated 12/19/16. Load test told the story. All in and replaced now, maybe this one will do 5 years too!

 

Ram mounts Held up my command central during DV trip. Especially going through those sand dunes and washboard trails..

 

It’s funny my wife’s 2017 Corolla steering wheel switch is the correct way volume up down. my 2017 Tacoma as we all know is not.

 

sweet set up? where are you camping?
