What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

lol…The truck is looking good as usual!

 

Finally got around to installing the Wheelers ubolt flip kit with 1" block on the rear.

Had installed 6112/5160s awhile ago on the 9/7 clips. Had a little bit of a lean back to it once everything settled in.

At the same time I installed the Bilsteins, I installed some Ride Rite airbags on it for trailering. Those damn brackets clamp the rear springs 2"-ish outside the axle (each side...so 4-ish total extra spread), which caused them to be harsh on big bumps.

So when I installed the ubolt flips, I made up little filler pieces so I could bolt the bags straight to the top plate. The load from the bags will now go on top of that plate.

Man, what difference! Buttery smooth with the stock leafs and no load. Any increase load I put on there I can compensate for with the airbags. Only ever really have the RTT and camping stuff, or the aluninum trailer with quads, so I should be good.

Will run this for awhile, and switch to RXT leafs if this doesn't work out.

I have got white and amber! Couldn’t figure out wiring so just put the amber wire attached, they are bright!

 

Before and After results! This product did a great job and it’s only $7

 

Installed the Backwoods Adventure Mods Hi-Lite front bumper today, pretty easy install took about 2 hours or so. Unfortunately, I can’t run my Diode Dynamic Ss3 that we’re mounted to the oem bumper so going to have to find some new pods ! Overall, I’m super stoked with how it looks and the ease of removal to add winch to the cradle , best part is I found it on market place for a deal I couldn’t refuse . And only 80lbs !!!

 

I just made the swap to DS18’s and instantly heard a big difference. Have Fosgate punch’s coming for the doors tomorrow. The DS18 are a great option over stock, plug and play 15 minutes.

 

Hitch Pod brake light install.

 

She’s a Beauty! Congrats

 

lol - took the tail of the Dragon with our JKRU and off road trailer back in 2021, was a great time.
We stayed at Lake Santeetlah and headed out the tail, good times.

 

Upgraded the wheels tires + the suspension to a Fox setup on my 19’ Long Bed

WHAT!???

 

Stay off the tail unless you are on two wheels!

 

I let the dealer change the oil, cause I don't want to change the ecu or the entertainment display.

Its a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

 

Something about that front end looks different between the two pics

 

the only mod to the front end is that I changed the grill…

 

If you're wiring to a switch panel like an Auxbeam AR800 the 2 blue wires for the backlights go to their own circuit (5 amp should suffice) the 2 red wires go to another circuit (15 amp or 20 amp depending on which lights you have and what they draw; I used 20 amp for ss3 pro ditch lights) and the 2 black wires go to a ground elsewhere on the truck like a battery terminal or ground on driver's side fender. You'll have a button for backlights and a button for normal ditch lights with this method.

 

There is no shift linkage. The gear shift lever directly engages the shift rods at the top of the transmission. There is nothing to adjust.

 

Ah, I see. My Tacoma's an auto, but my 4th gen Camaro is a 6spd.
