What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

And see I don't like how that makes me feel lol it feels wrong to just loop the string or let it dangle lol

 

Took her shooting

 

Pics?!?

Haha, beat you Tux!



Oh snap, rsully added a pic.

 

Added the red push start button Bc .

 

Got my SUMA mirrors put on. It’s crazy being able to see everything! And the anti glare for all these stooges driving with brights on is amazing.

That being said, these are not for everyone. Depth perception is gone. With the blue lens, when it rains and it’s dark you can’t see anything, especially at dusk when cars haven’t turned their lights on yet. I’m nervous about putting the tent on and losing my rear view mirror but not having a blindspot is worth every penny.

install was rough, some advice.
After the mirror cap is off, to get the mirror off, use a plastic pry tool to disengage the one mirror clip you can see. Once that is off you can easily pull mirror from each corner to get the other 3 clips off one at a time, grab as close to the center of the mirror as possible. I broke one of the mirror clips on my OE mirror by just trying to brute force it with my hands. Then tried the pry bar on mirror two and it was so much easier. I also had to pull off the SUMA mirror once to swap the blinker connectors(I put them on the wrong connections) and the pry bar method worked flawlessly.

 

But 5th gen 4runner's have the gas cap holder and a manual opening fuel door like the Tacoma.

 

I like the blue tint as well since.
Another suggestion when removing the OEM ones is to spray a shot of WD-40 or similar on the clips. This makes it easier to pry out.

 

Bilstein 5100s all around, 888 OME Springs, Dirt King UCAs and Icon AAL installed yesterday!

 

Installed the the Bak Industries Revolver X4S I ordered at a great deal from @Santana@Realtruck

super easy transaction, quick shipping and easy installation.

 

Nice looking Taco!

 

Were you going for the nose up stance?

 

its actually leveled front n back when I measured…

 

Changed my rear diff fluid at 23k. I had a reager to 4.88s with mystery fluid the shop put in at about 10k, and had some diff howl since.

Amsoil

$29 75w-90 Synthetic Gear Lube - 1 Quart (Pack of 2)

75w-90 cut the diff whine in half, I am astonished how much better it is! I will never use anything else in the diff from now on.

 

Ahh. the photo taken in the street looked different.

 

y’all don’t just let it hang?

 

my truck is leveled but not the street lol

 

Looks so good.
This is on my summer mod list, except 887 OME spring.

Did you keep the overload spring in when adding the Icon AAL?

 

I had the overload spring taken out.

I had 2887 on my list initially but I kept hearing about how they sag over time so I went with 2888 to give me another inch to compensate down the road when it settles…

 

For me this was my first really nice vehicle and compared to all the other money I've spent on mods I figured $20 to protect the paint seemed like a worthwhile investment.
Plus as everyone has said every other vehicle in existence has one of these holders so it's force of habit to put the cap on the fuel door

 

Guess I’m just a heathen…but then again I’ve only washed my truck 3 times since I brought her home from the dealership. There’s mud on that truck that’s 2 years old now.
