What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

The wheels themselves sit about perfectly flush with the fenders. The tires poke though

 

I really wish they made those Volks in more offsets so running 35's wasn't such a PITA. 4.36" backspacing is a little much for a decent fit.

 

not sure exact size. It’s the rear fj rotor. Stoptech brakes are legit. Your brake and wheel combo looks good!

 

Do you post your truck pictures on here? Far away pictures. I only see closeup on mods. Alway curious on what it looks. Especially the engine bay. Seeing you BBK make me want to install mine. Have had it for over a year now. Lol

 

Poke isn’t too bad

 

Here’s a pic from further away. I haven’t taken an under hood shot in while, but this is right after I got the supercharger installed.

 

Whoa, Maggie, TEs, and Stoptech! Sick truck...

 

It's not a horrible vibration, but noticeable. I can certainly live with it, because they're otherwise fantastic mirrors. The vibration get quite bad yesterday when I got caught in a strong cross-wind, though.

 

That looks crazy good. My truck doesn't have fender flares, and my stance looks just like yours with TRD 17x7 -4mm wheels. So confused lol. It must be backspacing or something? Any rubbing on the struts/springs with the backside of the wheel ??

 

Nice clean truck. One of my favorite on here for sure. We have a lot of similar mods. I have been debating of moving forward to install the roof rack but after seeing your picture I may have to do it. I have the same one without the light bar. Still new in the box.

 

Thx homes! All these trucks seem to be a little different as far as fitment goes. I'm not sure how much extra poke the stock flares add vs the SR, but as long as you're a negative offset you get a thumb up for me. These are the same wheels listed above in the 17x8.5 -10 specs, but the flares must add a decent amount of width. Doesn't matter much as long as you're happy with the look. No issues with rubbing on any suspension components, but I have had to do the CMC even with +4 deg of caster in order to stop the tires from rubbing on the body mount.

 

Bonehead move of the day goes to yours truly.
After lifting the truck and adding new suspension parts I was chasing a loud clunk coming from the rear driver side for the last month when I hit big dips in the road.
Tightened every thing 3x over. Bought some Sumo Springs hoping it would catch some of it, but no. Started thinking the new shocks were junk and then it dawned on me I had put my receiver hitch in the driver side storage compartment in the box.

Clunk gone.
SMH what an idiot. lol

 

Thanks for the laugh lol

 

At least you didn’t move it inside the truck and then go looking for that new clunk.

 

I recently added that storage compartment to my '21 and I was about to put my recovery hitch in it until I realized it would probably do what you just described lol.

 

What bumper are you running??

Dang, sounds like the potential for the mirror to fly away on it's own course

 

Thanks for that. It's the most I've laughed all day.

 

Wash and Wax! First time using the SunJoe, works great!
