What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed Bilstein 6112s and 5160s. All local shops are booked. Went ahead and installed them myself. Not bad about 6 hours. Set at 10 8 I got around 2 inches in the front with my SX access cab. Big thanks to Hotshot Offroad. Tomorrow, I get an alignment and 33s. I wanted to install my TRD skid but I lost the hardware. Anyone know a part number or a place I can make some up?

 

Did that, too. Dremel’d a slot in the head and used a big a$$ flat tip and open end wrench on the screwdriver shaft to extract the FTS (F#$& This Screw).

 

@kent50 Quality product! It feels solid and similar to aluminum shift knobs on previous manual transmissions cars that I drove. The top of the knob isn’t smooth, but it’s not bothersome for me since I have an automatic. The knob does get pretty hot in the summer, though.

 

If you live near Raleigh, NC I have some brand new toyota OEM cleats I will make someone a deal on.

 

Installed the Trd cold air intake

 

I got mine in June and I found out a few days later lol. Besides that issue it’s an awesome knob.

 

I have it in my manual. Good fit in the hand. Light weight aluminium.

 

While rotating my tires this weekend Knocked a weight off my front right wheel so took it in to get all four tires balanced. Nice and smooth now! Yeah sorry no pics yet maybe I'll have to get under there and look at the weights see if I got any scratches that sort of thing.

 

How are the new fogs performing?

 

I have had them for 2 years. Worth every penny. Easy install; awesome output.

 

I have the factory LED fog lights....Do you think they are better than the factory? How are they to install?

 

I didn't think I had a problem with the factory fogs until I swapped them out. Just about anything good, is a substantial improvement over the oem ones.
Quick tip as I installed some last week - when a video shows you ripping apart your wheel wheel to access the back - literally just reach in through the top of the engine bay. there's plenty of room (in my experience).

 

Took the taco shooting.

 

I 2nd this. When I swapped stock for BD fogs in my 3rd gen, 5 or 6 years ago, I read all these posts of people removing grilles and fender liners. No need to do any of that. Just reach down and do it. I guess taking 5 minutes to pop out the grille might help but def not required.

 

I am very pleased with their performance, I had to go out in severe weather with debris covered roads on day 1 & illumination was better than expected. My OEM LED fogs did near nothing.

 

I took my grill off for install, takes about a minute (to remove grill) I prefer the ease of access.

 

You obviously don't live in my tyrannical state! It rhymes with Smillionois.

 

I added the new TRD PRO snorkel "height feelers" kinda like back in the day we had white wall tires so you installed curb feelers so you wouldnt rub them.
This one checks height for entering mall garages

 

Ugh... this is what it's like reading this thread while I wait for my truck to be delivered...

It's your spotter. Good vantage point up on the snorkel, and in tight spots it can fly around and check your wheel position. Maybe better than a 360 cam.
