My Softopper was sorta burgled.

I used 4x4H mode for the first time

 

Spent the entire morning surfing this site dreaming of the mods I want to do as I anxiously wait for my truck to arrive. Patience is not my strong suit!

 

Order shit now! Shipping delays, labor day sale, plenty of time to watch YouTube install videos.

 

Seriously!

Not a 3rd Gen, but changed the transmission fluid on my wifes Mazda3 M/T hatch and found a blown strut, now she wants me to lift it.

Hard to do, as all aftermarket support is centered around slamming it. Tried to convince her to let me throw Mazda 5 springs on to buy once cry once, but she balked, so spacer lift it is, ah well can’t win em all…

 

You could change tires to a higher profile.

 

If you want that mileage best to change the oil and filter at 5K miles, not the recommended 10K miles. Yes, the oil can go that far but not the filter.

 

did you have to tweak the rail at all?

i ordered one off ebay, same part number that everyone else said worked, but it was about a 3/8" fatter than the oem rails on the truck. all my typical rail hardware would pull straight through as soon as i got close to torqueing everything up. i had ordered about 2 months ago so instead of complaining, i just creatively narrowed it in a vice. works the same, just a lot more custom than i imagined it would be

 

AARP meeting?

 

I just purchased this truck brand new two weeks ago .
Thanks for the tip. I will make sure to do that.

 

Cut off the old, on with the new...

 

That hitachi clamp style has got to be the dumbest design I’ve ever seen, stripped the ever living shit off the top before I was able to get the nut off, would’ve been easier to take your route…

 

Used trim shine to clean up Husky xact fit floor mats. Look brand new . Anyone have a link or contact to order the replaced TRD stickers to put in place of Husky stickers.

 

Agreed. Took me about 30 seconds, once I got a new blade. Does make you double check the part numbers on the shock to make sure you have the right one before you pass the point of no return. I tried to get the nut to turn, but my Vicegrips couldn't keep it from spinning.

 

Not sure if those are still available. They used to be sold on Etsy, but I think the link was dead last time I checked. Maybe someone else sells them on Etsy or TacomaWorld?

gives a whole new meaning to "Look at the pipes on that guy!!"

 

Retire retire or Navy retire?

 

I didn't have any issues with fit or with function, but mine's probably not OEM either.

 

Retire completely. No longer in Navy.
