What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got my RCI rear bumper in yesterday, a month early! Good thing I already rewired for the Rigid lights last weekend. Now I have to stare at it until I can get it on this weekend.

 

I like this alot. Do you have a link for that coil hose?

 

Seriously , how long of a lead time?

 

Currently showing 2 weeks

 

Just took delivery of my new TRD Pro. So happy to be back in a Tacoma.

 

Not much touch to the grill and since the grill is plastic as long as it protects the hood, I don't care if it erodes 1/8" of the grill away as long as the metal is okay.

 

Dobinsons Coilovers, Maxxis RAZR AT tires.

 

The 08 Ford Sport Trac I just sold when I got my Taco had factory rubber floors... guess it was supposed to match the "sport" of truck... fully loaded truck with leather and rubber floors...I loved it! Anyways, I would have paid for that if it was an option on Tacos.... oh well.

 

So, Im no expert in this field since my truck is not lifted so hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in. But from my understanding, lift will not always help with rub because when the suspension is fully compressed the wheel will still be in the same place in the wheel well. So you'd still have to trim/bend the fender liner in the same places.

Having said that I'd go tires first, a larger true AT tire is such a huge improvement over what comes on the truck stock, especially in the snow and off-road.

 

Finally added a console pad. Probably never notice until tee shirt weather gets here thou.

Picked up this used Bestop - glad I talked the seller down, it needed new tailgate bar brackets - which may have been why he sold it in the first place - these tops don’t fit right unless you have the 3rd Gen tailgate brackets.

Also new wheels/tires. I love the way Method wheels look but every Tacoma I see has them. I decided to go with a completely different look with the Nomad Convoy wheels (17”) with BFG KO2 (285/70/17) which I picked up used with only 50 miles on them from Discount Tire. I guess Jeep owners take these tires off right after purchase?

 

Nice Score looks Beauteous..

 

Two months in and I'm still trying to build up the virtual sense of where the bumper is in front. That big ass scoop doesn't help. I put the front camera back on "Auto," which helps with parking...but as soon as you get under 5 mph it turns on. Don't really care so much to have it on while sitting at a red light, but the alternative is to turn Auto back off and manually push the button when parking, and I'm too lazy to do that. Plus, this way I have one more thing to bitch and complain about.

 

Oh yeah

 

Looks like a busy weekend!

 

That is pretty cool. Just don't rob any banks or run anyone off the road as it makes your plate really easy to read.
