What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Almost like the 1st Gen with the tweeters built into the upper door panel. Great job.

 

I barley noticed any difference doing the rear. I would have been fine not even messing with them with stock HU

 

In an access cab upgrading the rear speakers is more relevant because they are much higher on the door panels.
I fade mine just one notch to the rear so that I can centre the sound in the cab better.

 

Ahh, that makes sense.

 

What symptoms?

 

FINALLY!!! FOUND a soft topper for my long bed. Only took me a year.

 

Yup, doesn't really improve sound stage at all.

 

Doesn't really improve sound stage at all. They are just filler and mostly for the passengers

 

Does that skid cover more than the stock or does it stop in the same place just past the oil pa?

 

I had the new Bilstein 5100s, OME 885's (purchased from a TW member) and Hellwig rear "helper springs" installed on Friday. Truck rides so much smoother, but with 80K miles on the OEM shocks, it may be they were pretty worn out anyway.

Truck site about 1" higher, but I didn't do this for the lift, I did it because my wife and I just bought our first trailer (Coleman Rubicon 16' travel trailer) to tow with the Taco, and my brother-in-law bought me the 5100's as a recent birthday present, so decided to beef up the front and rear suspension a little to help with the towing capability.

 

It covers what the Offroad two piece skid plate design covers.

 

Been there. Worth the 10+ mile hike in.

 

Anybody ever keep their sliders raw steel?

Rust orange doesn’t really go with my black truck so I didn’t

 

After reading many review from TW, I ordered a LOSTAR skid plate (replica of the trd pro skid). It take me 2hrs to install. The 4 spacer is what take most of the time. Due to bad instructions, they didn’t tell you that the plastic washer is to help hold the bolt & spacer in place before mounting the skid plate.

I compared with my neighbor’s pro skid plate, it has the same thickness. It felt as strong as the pro skid plate. Plus, Amazon give me 50% off because it was damage during shipping.

 

Decided to built a slide out kitchen drawer for the truck this weekend... really happy with how it came out. Added quick disconnect for propane and 12v for Jerry can faucet setup. 11lb propane mounted to a PowerTank mount on the bedrail.

Great looking pics. But this one is old school, before 103. I was with the Bounty Hunters, VF-2

 

One review said the oil change plate was not included. This true?

 

I was considering the same skid.

On a different note, I just installed the same bumper and am debating what to do with the tow hook. I took mine off and reinstalled the tie-down loop (stock for non OR models) since there's no way to clear a strap around the hook anymore. I'm curious to see what others are doing there.
