What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like it, it may settle down a 1/4" or so-not sure how much. Hey, whats the measurement at center wheel, in front, from ground to fender? About 40"?

 

I ordered sooooo many goodies during the Memorial Day sales. Here’s some of the highlights I’m expecting over the next few months:
1)BAMF; trilogy, fuel skid, diff skid, hybrid full hoop front bumper, rock sliders
2)Caliraised; premium rack
3)Warn; vr evo 10k synthetic
4)R4T; bumper caps (special order CSM color match)
5)KTJO; driver pillar handle, head-up display
6)Diode Dynamics; pulling the trigger tonight on: 42” combo white, 30” combo amber, SS3 max amber fogs to add to the pair I already have, SS1 fog, SSC2 black covers for my ditch lights I already have

Basically adding everything that’s gonna weigh the truck down before I get the lift/wheels/tires.

 

Awesomeness! Looking forward to pics once everything is installed. Gonna be bad ass!

 

Thinking about getting this, myself, for the same reason.
Is the installation as straightforward as it appears to be?

 

Yes

 

Hardest part is making sure its all centered before sticking it down. I had mechanic do it, and even he called me in to help hold parts of it so we could be sure it was perfect. Measure, put tape down to guide you, other than that, you just plug it all in and youre done.

 

37.75, I believe. Rears are at 38.25.

 

Looks good. Any concern over long term damage to paint/ hood?
I know stickers and magnets over time can cause some nasty spots.

 

I've only had about an hour of seat time with it this way but I can definitely tell a difference. It's not huge but it's a little lower and louder, not bad at all.

 

Been loving mine

 

Im sure the paint could be messed up, but i dont see this coming off anytime soon either.
There is a black vinyl sheet under it to protect yhe paint. From what ive heard, white paint isnt the most durable.

 

Glad you got it bro. I'm about to do the exact same thing to my 3rd gen now. I just did my 2nd gen like 3 weeks ago. What lift do you have on the back? I'm hoping with the Bilstein 5100 up front and the OME Dakars on the back it'll be even.

About to have alot of fun.

 

Looks clean. What tool did you use for cutting?

 

Those look real nice

 

My rear is 5160s and the Icon AAL.

Itll look good with those Dakars.

 

My local exhaust shop lol.

I just had them cut it right after the muffler and weld the turn down on. Anything after the axle didn't make sense.

 

Ilana!!

 

you're going to love them, one of the best upgrades I did

 

Looking forward to them for sure. My truck is light still, +300lbs or so over stock, on 34's. Hoping to see some big improvements.

Next Friday is the day, doing 5.29s, front locker, and the powerbrake install. Will be busy!

 

Chilling at toyota, for the second time this week. Got my 10k/1 yr service the other day, and checked under my truck before I left. The oil filter housing was oily and had a couple drips. Not a big deal, techs don't seem clean up much after themselves. I started it and let it run and didn't see any leaks so I went home and cleaned up the housing cause I didn't like seeing those drips. Well... it's weeping. Not like a full leak, but after a 15+ min drive, it had oily spots on the housing again, and the mating surface was wet. Service manager told me to bring it back and they will fix it. He said it could be a defective o ring. So here I sit wondering if they put the o ring in the wrong spot, or if it was a damaged o ring. Hopefully they get it right the second time. Ugggg, frustrating. I didn't have any issues at all when I changed my own oil. But wanted to bring it in for toyota's "scheduled" intervals to maintain good record in case any warranty issues are needed to be covered.
