What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That looks familiar!

 

I bought these and love them, not sure what Toyota was thinking? Manly truck needs manly knobs! The OEM knobs are thin, smooth and their contour is terrible for grown-up sized hands and fingers.

 

Toyota gave us the small knobs on our mid size trucks to make our fingers look bigger and manly when we’re caressing our knobs.

 

I had my Bilstein 5100's installed yesterday. But noticed that it seems like the rake of the truck has the nose more up than level. The tech said to me we can level it out (I wanted to stock height). I went with his suggestion but it seems off to me. The gap in the front is now 6 3/4" (top of tire to bottom of the black wheel arch). Is it going to be a pain to have them adjust it down? I have never done this stuff before. I will say the ride is much improved which is what I wanted.

 

Just have add-a-leafs installed and it should be level.

 

I did 22222 in 14 months.

 

Gave it a detail and a rest. It's my daily driver and our weekend warrior. Found some new scratches under all of the dirt but it's gonna happen if I use it.

 

I've put down a tarp in the past. When dirt gets low, pull up the corners to pile up more dirt. When it gets too low, just pull the tarp out and the bed is clean.

 

They Nicknamed Hollywood, Fl "Little Quebec" and Hallandale, FL "The southern most Canadian city" do to all the Canadian snowbirds.

 

Had oil and ATF fluids changed at dealership along with the rear brake light recall being done.

Asked about gear fluids and was quoted
Front Diff $137.48 CDN
Rear Diff $168.47 CDN
Transfer Case $127.43 CDN

Uncertain if I'll just pay for it with my next oil change or DIY. I assume there are some decent guides around here.

 

chrisFix has plenty of videos on that. seems relatively easy

 

Looks good and level from that picture. As mentioned get an AAL if needed in back or it may settle in the front still.

 

I may be a little late but I installed a Rexing V1P front/rear dash cam and I used the GoPro mount on my stock windshield. Shapeways makes a clip that attaches to the GoPro mount that attaches to the Rexing dash cam. Very happy with the setup.

Can you show us how you mounted these? May be something I do in the future. Thanks

 

It’ll settle.

 

I made her work. Like a real truck.
