What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I just bit the bullet and purchased the vehicle dynamics rxt leaf so any install tidbits would help. Paid 404.00

 

Just installed a high clearance rear bumper with a full swing out to carry a full size spare, Jerry can holder and fold down table on it. As well as my new sliders from Brute Force Fabrication. Great products and people. Drove up to them to get it installed. Just need to add a camera relocation kit to the swinging since my tailgate back up cam is blocked now.

 

$404 for an AAL or leaf pack?

 

PICS

 

Worked all week at work doing a little at a time between vehicles. I went the poser route on most things! 5500k HIDs, diode dynamics ss3 sport pods, TRD pro grille, and the newer pro tail lights. Also upgraded my reverse lights! Not pictured is the MattGecko bed lighting kit and the Hikari LED high beams (this is more of a *I wonder if they are better?*). In 2 weeks, ill be installing the Eibach shocks and rear AAL for a 2" lift.

For the LED high-beam upgrade, might want to doublecheck that they are clocked correctly. The OEM bulbs cast light in all directions so the bulbs can be clocked in any direction the manufacturer wants. LED's typically don't, so they tend to have a grub screw on the housing that allows the LED stalk to rotate separately from the housing. It can be finicky and time consuming, but you might find that the clocking from the manufacturer is not ideal for your specific application. A little clockwise or counterclockwise could be the difference between "I wonder if they are better?" and "Oh, ok, that's not bad at all. Nice."

 

Absolutely. Thankfully I can see them clearly being in the high beams. They don't sit at a perfect vertical, maybe a 10* angle. I'm heading out shortly to do a drive with them, and will try them *tight* at the full install position along with them straight up and down. The dash cam will be running, I may upload the video difference if it's noticeable on the cam.

Leaf pack and the u bolts.

 

Thank you , appreciate the link

 

Holy cow bro! You could go squiding with those backup lights.

 

Are you going to connect it to an coupler so no need to open up the hood everytime for air?

 

that TEQ(To-Yo-Ta) emblem looks so good. what I been wanting to get. Do you have the link? Does it interact with the sensor？

 

Got it from @c_mento_taco_808 on the gram.

 

Any reason why you didn’t go with the dual swing outs?

 

Looks good bro. That emblem is solid. F the haters. Great truck! Which sliders are those? Do you now wish you had the step inserts? I just ordered rci sliders, I like your cleaner look without the step shit. I'm curious if you wished you had them

 

I can't figure out why that car in front of the FJ decided to make the turn unless they thought the guy was coming at them. The Jeep came across from the far right lane. The driver was totally slumped over. After missing us, he hit a culvert and flipped, landing on the driver's side. I turned around and went back to check on the guy. Guy in his sixties with no medical history other than high blood pressure, said he wasn't diabetic. Didn't seem intoxicated or on anything. Only apparent injury was a gash in his forehead. He had all kinds of power tools inside -- luckily none of the saws got him.

 

How do you like those bed stiffeners? I like that those are low profile, but I know 4wp is kind of taboo around here.
