What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

How many bottles would you suggest to coat the truck

 

I like it and I don't like. I like it that it definitely sounds a lot better than with the factory head unit even with the factory speakers and makes it "feel" more modern but I don't like it that the cluster screen lost a lot of its function though I knew that before getting the aftermarket head unit.

 

Day after my oil change and I’m putting the green machine to work lol. 780 #’s of pavers, some gear in the backseat, and my fat ass prolly at capacity, and it rode fine doing 65 home. Pavers are 65 #’s ea

Heavy duty cart had a blowout lol. Think I broke it

Not really even squatting but leveled for sure

Yea I know one’s cracked but they’re going under a small shed I’m putting together

 

Gave it a pretty detailed bath for 3 hours in the morning Texas sun. For how dirty it was, it sure cleans up well!

 

I love the look and that’s is exactly what I want for my truck. Will you be so kind to share where with me where I can find those steelies and center caps? Thank you in advance.

 

I spotted your JD Auto-Connect. Wish I could get those Load-n-Go ramps for mine. Shed for the 2025R?

 

They’re bitchin for sure. Makes storing and changing out the blades a breeze

 

Unloaded and back to its rake
All 12 pavers unloaded and placed
Now I can put a Rubbermaid storage shed on there without any critters digging through
I still need more pavers but didn’t want to stress the truck (and my back) on its maiden hauling voyage. That footprint will fit the structure for now and I’ll swing by Blowes on the way home from work this week and pickup some more for the entry

 

Installed the Rough Country low profile cover.

 

Tires look awesome.

Re: brakes: I've come from a history of driving tuners with beefed up brakes for aggressive driving and never thought the tacos brakes were that good, even fully stock. Then after I went to 33's I found the stock brakes incredibly inadequate and downright scary. Quickly swapped in the powerstop z23 evolution kit with pads and rotors and they were a little better than stock when hot, but zero bite cold (which is weird because they have tons of bite on every other car I've run them on). I prefer pads with a lot of bite, so I then changed to their z36 pads and now the truck finally feels like it has proper brakes. No noticeable dust on my te's either. Been very happy for the last 6k miles on this setup and multiple times a month I'm glad I upgraded to the z36 pads with all the idiot drivers out here.

 

Sorry I missed that part. No, the machine sits in the garage like the queen it is. The shed is for patio furniture cushions and hot tub chemicals and whatnot. Shop build is in the works for next year hopefully for the tractor and other crap

 

Sorry but I do not, I know they are sold on eBay from stock FJs but they aren't cheap in my opinion for what they are. The ones I got were from an early 4R which the front caps were much longer for the auto-hubs. So I cut them down and tig welded them so they are all the same height. They were in rough shape and weld wasn't super pretty but painted all black you can't even tell.

 

A local guy had these from an early 4R. But they can be found on eBay from the base model FJs that came with steelies.

Pavers are 65 #’s ea
Yeow. 20" x 20"?

Cool project. Please post a pic of the shed when you are done!

 

You are right about the price. I’ll keep an eye out for some junkers.

 

I wear my ring on my right hand for this reason. I always get crap for it.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

I use a combo of two pavers, six, sand bags and my dry box of tools/recovery gear for winter weight.

 

I use 40lb softener salt bags, even in my little Corolla. 80 lbs in the trunk goes a long way for the Tankrolla.
