What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got the bronze Trail Edition wheels and Falken Wildpeak MT01 mounted on the truck today. Tires are 255/85r16 which are 33" pizza cutters. The taller tires with the bronze wheels makes the truck look soooo damn good! Trd skid was out on last week.

 

How did you hook these up? @CarverLB

 

Great product I’ve found using this forum also.

 

Several ways to do it

run power to headlight drl

use pod light harness

wire to interior door switch panels

I’m sure there is probably more

 

If no one has mentioned yet, there are a few sets with multiple 10mm (various types) sockets out there, I got one from Harbor Freight....handy.

 

I installed the AFE Rock Basher today. Only took a little over an hour with an extra set of hands. Sounds great imo vs mbrp which is loud loud loud. Now I’m stuck with an oem exhaust taking up space lol. I also really dig the way it looks without an exhaust sticking out


*pic is not mine but added as a reference*

 

How much lift do you have and have you experienced any rubbing? I have a 2022 Trail Edition and am contemplating this size for my next set of tires.

 

That goes back a little too long for me to remember but I think it was eBay or Amazon.

 

2" front and a 1.5 Icon AAL, bilstein 6112/5160. Haven't experienced rubbing yet but I was at work all day yesterday so I didn't really get to drive it much.

 

That is really clean. And rattles of noises you’ve observed?

 

Not a mod but dealer warranty stuff sorted out…Had the pinging/clunking in the front end on the driver side over speed bumps and a squealing belt/pulley. I told them it’s definitely the idler pulley and front rad support bushing mounts. Brought both of the TSBs found in the forums and showed them. They called me yesterday and told me all of it will be replaced under warranty and rental is free of charge!

Celebrating the small wins before ACL Surgery because the next few weeks are gonna brutal!

 

I got that same one and got ready to install and stripped the one and only screw that has to be taken out lol. Now it just sits in the garage.

 

That's a bummer. I only slightly chuckle because it sounds like something that would happen to me. Try a larger diameter screw maybe?

 

On board with the small wins. Haven't presented my claim to Toyota of a sand blasted windshield pre-delivery yet. Good luck w/surgery and rehab.

 

thanks!

 

Avoided a tree lastnight. I park my truck here 99.9% of the time. Last night i didn't. Woke up to this.

Glad i changed it up.

 

That screw was a pain to take out i ALMOST stripped it. Its like Toyota doesnt want us messing with it haha

 

If you use the right bit, all should go well.

 

I installed the larger cup holder that i purchased from AJT Designs, it took me all of 20 minutes to do as I also cleaned and lubricated everything under the cover after i removed the old one, i did it without taking off the emergency break cover too, I can fit my 32 ounce R-Tic drink bottle and a 32 ounces water bottle in the pockets with the center divider removed easily. I recommend it

 

I used a # 2 Philips screwdriver by hand, no impact gun needed and installed mine easy as pie.
