What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got a set from Overland Custom Designs, a lot beefier than stock and they're fully adjustable. I can't say yet how they perform, they're still in their box.

 

Wow, If this is your driveway I'm super jealous.

 

Looks good. Getting ready to get super busy in your neck of the woods.

 

Looks good. Need more info, What setting up front, what did you use in the rear and what size tires? Have same kit but haven't gotten around to installing yet.

 

Looks good. I contacted him a couple of weeks ago and he is preparing to send one out to me as well. May be moving to a state that requires a front plate in the near future so wanted to be proactive and get one while still available.

@ClassyTacos It doesn't look like you messed with the tie rod ends...

I know they make sway bar links, but do they make tie rod ends?

 

found a sweet ARE topper on FB marketplace for $700. I thought I wouldn’t like the silver/MGM color combo, but I think it looks awesome!

 

Just installed my ditch light mounts this morning, found alot of rust in the bolt holes on the drivers side, so I wired out the holes, sprayed some fluid film in there then put it all back together. Need to build my wire harness then I can put the lights on.

 

Definitely do not use the adhesive on the led light. I already made that mistake with my 2nd gen. After about a week it starts peeling off snd turns into a mess. Get 1/4 inch

$7 3M VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3M VHB tape from Amazon, should be $10. The "3M" that comes with the led strip is garbage. I put the vhb on the rail first, then the led strip, went around with a towel to push it down to get adhesion and bamm you got a solid connection

 

set on first notch, maxtrac 1.5 block out back for now, and 265/70/17 wildpeak tires

 

I installed my Sports thru the top side after removing the grille. Used the OEM's to line up the beam. Was all very easy. My 6 year old son helped me. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/show-off-your-diode-dynamics.730665/page-6#post-26771101

 

Awesome! Thanks for the link, that has some really good info. I’ve watched a few install videos and saw that there is the “through the fender” and “remove the grille” methods of installation.

Seems like getting them aimed properly is the biggest hassle.

 

Rock sliders from offroadapprentice. He's out in hesperia hit him up for some great work.

Ig @offroadapprentice

 

Finally got the second battery wired up!
