What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

For me it was aluminum rear bumper, full sound deadening, subwoofer, aluminum steps, bed mat and a broken vacuum in the back (They wouldnt take the vacuum)

The fluffy dice really kill the MPG.

 

Got some new falcon offroad T9's wrapped in Cooper Discover AT3s. Along with some new rek gen mudflaps. Had to ditch the oem ones due to a slight rub.

 

Added Tacomods regular size knurled backlit radio knobs. Nice upgrade from the slick tiny OEM knobs, now I don’t have to think so much to force my numb fingers to operate the knobs.

 

Got my big brake kit going on this weekend and got sick of looking at my rusty factory drums.

Used VHT engine enamel (high heat) in satin black. One can easily did three coats.

Prep was wire wheel, air gun blowout, brake cleaner, masking tape.

Turned out great, hope it holds up.

 

Just picked up my truck from the shop. Had the RC 3 1/2” lift installed. Still riding stock wheels and tires until the tires need replacing. I’m really happy with this lift. Lower pic is the “before” … bad lighting.

 

Washed mine today and over the last week added vent shades and a hood deflecter. Basically keeping it stock

 

added more L track onto the top of my diamondback cover
