What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It is a aftermarket one, its a aluminum one made by Dissent. The bumper itself is solid, the bison just pushed it up on the mounts. Just need to loosen the bolts and push it back into place.

 

@5nahalf sounds like an easy fix that comes with a fantastic story behind it. Thank you for the fishing tip.

 

Swapped out the driver rear bump stop.

 

Beautiful country. I remember towing in that area and parts of Nebraska, everything felt uphill, even the downhills and headwinds everywhere no matter which way I was going.

 

Looking forward to upgrading my taillights this weekend

 

Looks like it's an 18 or 20ft trailer? How did it tow. Picking up 24ft enclosed car hauler on Saturday to bring my car in storage home.

 

I thought they didn’t make much of a difference

 

This is a half truth, I run spots to widen my high beam spread at distance on deer infested back roads. Pointing these at the ditch in my situation would be useless. Aim where your light pattern makes sense.

 

Have you considered installing the HPS silicone tube? I found after I installed mine acceleration improved considerably.

 

Its a KZ sportsmen classic 191BHK, total length was 22 foot, weight loaded was a little over 4000lbs (truck had 2 adults and 2 kids plus a bunch of gear so another 1000lbs or so). With no wind the thing towed great in 4th gear 70-75 mph with 7-8 mpg. With a 30 mph cross wind we were towing at 55 but had to stay in 3rd gear.

 

I will be around 6900lbs so a little over capacity but only going 40 miles. Speed limit is only 55 so I should be ok?

 

You should be good, aerodynamics I feel is a bigger issue than weight when it comes to towing. Just slow down early and keep it in lower gears.

 

I'd want a full size truck/suv for towing that much. How was stopping?

 

Went and filled up my tank. The gauge says I can only go 251 miles. That can't be right when others get 300 plus. Any ideas what's going on guys.

 

Took it to 88 rotors yesterday. They did a great job! Definitely glad I got the trd off-road. Now it’s way more capable and still cheaper than the pro!

 

recent history.

 

Couldn't agree more! Good looking rig

 

it already is

 

The iPhone lightning port will collect a lot of stuff over time. I keep mine in my pocket, and find a lot of lint gets into the port. Use a toothpick (flat ones work best) and gently clean the crud from the connector opening. Blow out any remaining stuff when done. After that lightning cables should fit just fine and your iPhone should charge nicely with the cable.

I bought short a (6") right-angle usb-lightning cable from Amazon which allows the phone to sit on the charger (might as well use it for something) while I drive. Also, I bought a right-angle USB adapter that allows the cable to go straight down from the dash. Yeah, not wireless, but then my iPhone stays charged while I'm driving. It does have a big down side of staying in the Taco when I forget to unplug it and put it back in my pocket.

How much battery does your wireless setup use from the iPhone over time? I would worry about it discharging too much over a long drive. Otherwise, I really like your solution!
