What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hey there, no worries, too many posts to scrounge through anyway.

At the moment, I'm not running this tire/wheel setup. Only because some friends from Supreme Suspensions asked to use my truck for SEMA this past year, and they've got a deal with Hostile and Falken. So the truck is currently running Hostile Mojave wheels with Falken Wildpeak MT 35s.

To your actual questions though, suspension is fox 2.5s front and rear, Supreme UCAs, Supreme supplemental spacers (add a little more lift up front without having to over-preload the coil overs), Deavers out back. At the time of this Pic, the front of the truck was at about 3.25" of lift, with the rear being around 2.5"

I can't say much about trimming. Prior to going up to the pictured tires (which are pretty much 34s) I was running skinny 33's, and had done the cab mount chop just as a preventative measure. I had also already damaged the front bumper, so I did the viper cut thing. And I can't say much about the inner fenders, because one REALLY good send with the 33s and the bumps not set right ripped those out a long time ago.

Honestly depends how you're wheeling, and if you're wheeling. Overall though I've seen a good handful of people run this combination without major trimming and be pretty happy with it if not really wheeling hard.

My H11 to H9 adapters arrived yesterday. New bulbs arrive tomorrow. Hopefully it is warm enough this weekend to install them.

Just got back from a Costa Rican wedding vacation. I got to say, I saw some cool 3rd gen Tacoma's.
Lots of Helix, Nissan's and even a few Chevy trucks. Tons of Toyota SUV's
Id guess that every other vehicle has some sort off-road related items. Most vehicles had roof racks with black abs style water tanks.
Probably one out of twenty had roof top or bed top tents as well.
Below is a GoPro video I put together of the trip.
Pretty cool stuff.

Same guy tuned mine…loving it so far!

 

If you’re doing a low beam swap there’s a green tab in the factory harness connector that pulls right out and it’s a direct plug in for the h9 over the 11

 

Thank you for the information. I will take a look at that when I do the install.

 

Np some good info in another thread the green insert easily pulls out and no need for a harness adapter

 

This is the one i got. It came pretty quick too

 

Got a rock chip last night on the way to work. Came out to a nice crack. Now I have to decide if it’s worth the $400 to get the thing calibrated after replacement. I don’t use auto dimming headlights or lane departure, I just don’t want any lights popping up on the dash.

 

Ugh. I got my first rock at 600 miles. I won't replace it in the winter here; just asking for another rock hit. Probably in April. The crack on mine is behind the mirror and is working its way across the passenger side.

 

Exhaust re-route

 

painted the stainless steel bolts on my scs ray 10s black a few days ago, haven’t been able to get a good picture until now.

 

Yeah I’m debating driving with if for awhile. At least it’s not in my line of sight

 

My insurance covers the calibration after a $100 deductible for the windshield, maybe you have similar coverage?

 

Pulled a little surprise out of my tire. Just happened to see something shiny out of the corner of my eye while getting in my truck. Luckily no sign of a leak

 

FYI: Safelite is able to recalibrate the windshield after they install a new one. They offer a 'Dynamic' or Static' recalibration, both of which take around one hour to complete.

 

Thanks for sharing with us all and Congratulations!

 

Congrats! Very nice.

 

Finally got one of these. Opted for single mount only; dont think I wouldve really been able to use the multi mount. Install was easy and holds my phone securely!! Very happy with it
