What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mine went on in February (w/ecgs), I have been really happy with them. After you swap the bushing you’ll probably want about 1/4” extra on Drivers side and it will be perfectly level side to side. I believe it’s about 8 turns IIRC. I kept adjusting until I liked it then measured the change (same height difference a 1/4” spacer would provide). They ride nice on my truck and have a winch and BA slimline bumper light bar etc.

 

Thank you!

 

I'm not looking forward to the ECGS bushing. Did your front settle any after a few hundred miles? I havent really noticed any taco lean yet, been driving the wifes car for work. I did order 1 inch blocks for the rear, also to be installed this weekend. Decided that I didnt want to go AAL since I'm not towing or hauling any heavy loads.

 

You could always go with a 3 leaf progressive AAL where you can remove the overload leafs (since you’re not towing), still have an inch or so of lift and excellent articulation.

 

Yep that’s what I did as well, had to cut down my Allen wrench to fit in and all is well!

 

After I got my super bumps installed got a Taco garage DMM installed , I had a hondo vent mount and that thing was solid but this gives me a little more choices.

 

Got that bakflip

 

Belated, but the other day I put in this prototype MagSafe charging mount from @FreshMexicanTaco Also swapped out the older plastic arm for one of the slick new aluminum ones. Highly recommend both! I posted more details in the main Taco Garage thread. Today I used it on a longer drive (3hrs) and having the magnetic mounting was so nice for when I needed to grab my phone quickly to make faceID work instead of having to fumble to put my passcode in.



Yesterday I finally got around to installing a Bakflip MX4 (buddies, @roboturner!) that I picked up for cheap way back in October or so. The weather has just been too miserable to put it on till now. Pics of that one later!

How you get to the spare?

 

Not TRD Pro, but the AlphaRex Pro Series in Alpha Black. Gave them to my cousin for his 2016 OR DCLB in that awesome Quicksand Color.

 

These are the Alpha Black color. I can snap some pictures tomorrow!

 

Poly core support bushings and put gas in it, pretty big spender.
Pulling the front diff this weekend so my buddies shop can put my locker in next week so stoked for that (finally)

 

OH NOOOOOOO, NOT A REAR BLOCK!!!!!

 

Took off my roof rack to swap hardware to stainless and saw the beginning stages of rust spotting. So now I have a line-x roof top!

 

Yeah, it looked taller initially but it settled pretty quickly (probably within a couple days). I waited a week before doing final adjustments. I did Deaver expedition leaf springs and thankfully they settled more as I was at a little over 3” initially and they settled to 2”. I basically lifted the front because I needed to lift the rear as my factory leafs were not handling the weight of my cap, racks, and constant load very well. I ended up at 22.5” both sides in the front (center of hub to fender) which is probably around 1.75-2” lift (didn’t measure before but DBL cab LB is usually around 20.5 factory. I couldn’t see the difference visually for lean but it was there when measured.

 

Looks good...don't have to worry about scratches up there anymore now either! I've been worried about rust or other issues from having the prinsu up top. This summer I plan to swap the hardware out for stainless steel. Was the rust on your roof from the hardware that mounts the rack to the truck?

Did you notice reduced road noise after the Line-X application?

 

Well now I didn't realize propane was heavier than air. Never looked into that property. Cheers for educating me on it!

I did not say the hydrogen DIDN'T burn. Of course it did and it would be stupid to think other wise. But it burned above the craft and is not the reason for the envelope burning. Nor for it burning so rapidly.
