What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I’ve seen those on one truck, but it wasn’t a Tacoma. I bet there is quite a bit of money tied up in those. The steps do protect against some dings depending on the vehicle next to you, but not always.

 

Ooops ok I’ll look around rather than stir up hornets

 

Same issue here. In the spirit of relationship give and take I removed all the steps but hers. We're still together.

 

New shoes! Bahia Blue Method 701, 17x8.5, 0 offset. Paired with 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T.

I think they look pretty good with a black truck!

 

Too late ... I already posted a link to the install issues of the ARB recovery point, a 20 lb chunk of metal costing $300+. It is also is highly recommended, but some do not like the cost.

Search the site (Google "arb recovery point tacomaworld" to see the hornets nest has existed for years.

 

4 years old, never garaged and still has a little shine to it. Ready for the weekend, 4 days with no rain, and 40 ish degree nights in the northeast

 

Mainly adjustability and overall better off roading, plus a bit more lift.

 

If you're married, I think having to leave at least one step is listed somewhere on the marriage license. You may be legally bound to leave one step.
I didn't read it that well though so don't quote me on that.

 

I am sure there is SOMEONE in your life who can read it for you.

 

How did you remove the others, just an angle grinder or something? I do like the look of the flat bar there.

 

Welcome...You will find this is a great place to be with a lot of amazing people. WARNING....Hide your credit/Debit cards....

 

There is a popped weld that lets oil out. Whole housing is being replaced.

The Corolla drives very nice!

 

At the shop getting Black Rhino wheels put on

Let someone who is rational hide them for you ... then you must beg permission to spend any money.

 

Yep. Cut them off, ground them flat and then sprayed them with a rattle can bedliner.

 

Now that is an idea I haven’t thought of. Good thinking.

 

LOL!

 

Finally pulled the trigger and upgraded my suspension, wheels, and tires.

Kinda sorta maybe finished my build? 2018 Tacoma TRD-OR. 5 years in the making. My goal has always been to make a better, more comfortable, fun, and functional ride for daily commute, camping, and exploring the desert here in Nevada. You can't tell from the outside but I've put almost $15,000 of upgrades into this fella. I never wanted to have a bunch of shit hanging off of it and a lot of obvious changes.

It feels like I've built the 2024 Trail Hunter basically. Or what the OR or Pro should come with stock.

The latest update was OME medium weight 2" coil springs that helped stabilize everything and improve ride quality after adding the armor and the 265/76/16 tires I got last weekend from Discount Tire. They are the Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain ATs. They are such a huge amazing difference from the stock Nitto Ridge Grapplers. So far they feel softer, much quieter, better handling overall and just have made a major improvement to the driving.

The list of all my upgrades is in my profile. It's a lot of internal stuff that I don't even think of anymore because it's just normal for me now, but it's been a lot of work. Someday I should do a photoshoot with all the stuff.

The only thing I might do last is upgrade speakers and a re-gear. I haven't gone up to Tahoe yet on the new tires so we'll see how it handles that road. So far it feels like it drives better with the new tires but we'll see. And now that the car is quieter, I'm thinking speakers might be nice.

What do you guys think?




Realized I should’ve put a before in here

 

Isn’t that marriage??
