What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I just laid under the truck and used my legs to hold it up in place

 

Lol that's what I did first time. Second time used a block in back for support, then lifted front of skid with hands and started the bolts.

 

The trick is to start at the back pair, then the middle and front.

 

Goo-gone and then acetone. Finally compounded and polished the area by hand. Took atleast 30 minutes a side maybe more, zero paint damage..

All while out in the hot Florida sun.

 

Could be that’s what genuine Toyota gets you, although the money you saved was probably pretty sweet.

IIRC you’ll have to remove it for the front wheel drive component maintenance.

 

I know. I know. I should have gone with genuine OEM. I did get it for about half the cost of the OEM one though. We'll see how it holds up.

 

I did this with mine and found hitting the whole thing with a heat gun first helped. I didn’t have much residue to deal with once it came off. Then Goo Gone Automotive and microfiber, and a quick rinse after.

Edit: Goo Gone Automotive, specifically

 

Those 6112s look different. Are they new models? What settings do all those ring clips give?

 

They’re the new 11 position, same overall height just more adjustment.

 

Blown tire in West Oakland mod

 

Found a mechanic that works for peanuts

 

Thanks for the recommendation.

 

Does the tint effect the TSS Sensor at all?

 

Did you use the 6112 as they came out of the box at the setting they were set to or did you adjust them in height?
what setting did you use?

What brand of upper control arm did you switch out to ?

 

Thanks for the support! We appreciate it

 

They do exist

 

Jeff, depending on how the 3rd brake light was connected and what else was connected, this could be the problem. The electric draw would delay your ability to use either. So test this out by waiting 5-10 seconds before trying to lock/unlock and see if that consistently works. This was my experience with this because I had everything pulling from the same source.

 

That's good to know it wasn't a perfect fit

 

Awesome thank you.

 

lol, you are so right...I'm your neighbor up north (I literally live 5 mins from the Michigan border) People look at me funny when I tell then I oil my truck twice a year, and it still looks like the titanic underwater.
