What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What size tires are you running?

 

Just 33's. As others have said, the AT is tall geared from the factory, so a 33 actually makes it work pretty hard. For reference, I have the same size tires on my FJ40 with 4.10 gears, and I have never found that to be a problem, but the stock 3.9 in the Taco has annoyed me from the day it rolled off the lot.

 

Absolutely - Combined with the transmission constantly trying to sip gas makes it a dog.

 

What size fairing did you get?

 

I spent too much time on Diode Dynamics website.

 

lol, add one thing... but wait, there's more!

 

It’s ALWAYS like that is the problem.

 

I remember this install...

Twas a PITA getting the tab to squeeze through without breaking it off. But if you're replacing the whole unit, it won't hurt if you break the tab.

 

I usually just wait until they have a sale. Lol

 

What all did you order? I have a shelf full of diode dynamics goodness in the garage, just waiting for my bumper and rack to get it all mounted up.

 

Thanks, I checked out their web site, very reasonable priced, I guess another upgrade coming

 

I need to do that. Such a easy install it seems and handy to have

Why did you go 4.88 over the typcial 5.29

 

That's a good question. Went back and forth for a long time, but decided what I wanted was 'better than stock but not obviously low geared' if that makes sense. Reading a ton of opinions about the 5.29 led me to think that I'd find it just a little too low for my taste.

 

Just got my taco weighed. 4760lbs with half a tank of gas! Gheesh she’s heavy

 

I weighed mine at the dump at 4780, half tank of gas and no people in it.

 

Must have some of the same mods because that’s how I weighed mine. Got me curious to see what others truck weigh

 

for context; sliders from Cali raised, method 305’s, bilstein full suspension, tonneau cover, bed mat, and fluffy dice on the mirror.
