What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Man love the look of your truck! What bumper is that ya got there?

 

Agree, wonder where the photos are.

 

I finally got around to moving the CV boots over and I would recommend anyone with a lift do the same you can see the shiny spot from the flutes touching. I bought a cv boot clamp cutting tool which was a bit pricy (which made life a lot easier) but not as expensive as new axles lol!

 

I'm driving from PA next week to see my son in Ft. Benning. Driving 15 hours straight through. I would love to know how long that would take with an EV with all the long stops to charge. Might be better off in a horse and carriage.

 

Didn’t take too much cursing, started with the passenger (easy-side) would recommend, driver went faster as I knew what I was doing by time I got there.

 

Picked up my 285/75r16 BFG KO2’s to replace my strangely unworn duratracs with 63k on them….and also bought Nitro Off-road UCA’s, which will hopefully compliment the 6112/5160 setup I have. I’m really hoping I don’t have to run spacers though. Ugh.

 

Finally installed this water tank and pump I got for a steal off a local member. Was waiting to finally wire up a BlueSea aux fuse setup before I even bothered wiring the pump up. Not really too difficult to install the ironman 4x4 pump and hose up the plumbing. Now I can wash my dog off at the beach before she gets back into the truck haha.

15 gallon water tank and pump and respective hardware/fittings are from ironman 4x4, other brass hardware is just home depot put-together crap to make something clean and usable.

 

Yes they are and also no noise from the fridge. I've been pretty happy so far

 

SSO Hybrid Tube Bumper, tried to make my build as light as I could. This one checked the boxes and is only about 70lbs.

 

Thanks for the peer pressure.

Skid plate ordered.

 

We are all waiting for the weekly photos we requested...

 

Thanks!

Not sure about actual lift numbers, I'm guessing around 1.5" up front, 2" out back. Waiting for the back to settle more once I get some weight in it, then I will lower the fronts about another turn. 10mm or so lower to keep focus on ride quality and driving dynamics.

Suspension is Fox 2.5 DSC's from Accutune.
Icon RXT Leaf Pack, Option 1
Tires are 285/75/17 Ridge Grapplers, 34" tire.

 

Finally received my sliders from RCI yesterday. Ordered March 7th; time flies. Didn’t realize how long ago I ordered lol. Thanks for the install pro tip!

 

I hate palm trees. It is what it is though

 

FYI the long bolts are for the two that go from the included bracket into the frame through the slider, I was confused by that in the directions- good luck took me about 1.5 hrs by myself with a tranny lift

 

Super easy to reach it with a skid.

 

Sorry for the delay. I had a septic issue and I have been busy with pvc and drain snakes.
They are SCS 16” with -10 offset. I searched the heck out of this site to try to determine if I would rub but it was inconclusive at best. I rubbed the flaps more than I wanted and still touch in an off camber downhill turn. I don’t off road so I’m comfortable with the rub until I decide to level the truck. I guess everyone’s results will vary.
This is likely more info than you wanted but it may answer the question for others.

 

Not today but finally got around to taking pictures today. Installed the Meso puddle pods and the VLED foot well lighting. Both are a lot more convenient than I had anticipated. Especiallywhen heading to work at 4 am.

 

Took advantage of a mulch sale and loaded up the Tacoma with 25 bags!

 

They are the Rigid Chase lights. I don’t think they make them any more since coming out with the chase bar (I could be wrong) but I’ve seen them online still. Depending how you wire them, they have a running light, brake light, bed light, reverse light and a strobe function. Unfortunately the video wouldn’t load so I have to convert it to a gif and it slowed it down. But you get the idea. Personally I like the look of the chase bar a little bit better but that’s just my opinion.
