What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Decided to hit a deer last night. Anyone have any of the 2019 trd off road headlights in Ohio? They have a couple places that are black inside them that the other models don’t have and I’m guessing that’s gonna take forever to find. I cannot believe how much damage it did. But I’m glad I have full coverage.

 

It took me 1.5 hours. I was being careful to not break anything since it's my only vehicle.

 

Thanks! I’ll have it buttoned up next weekend and update the pics.

 

Where did you get the decals from ?
How did you manage to align them properly?

 

So I want to get new shoes for my truck. I have a 16” wheel now and my tires are 265/70R16
What can I go up a size with out needing to Trim my truck?

 

Undercoating UnderDog!!!

 

I read it. I missed it until pointed out.

 

Oh crap.

 

Based on all the fences, I don’t think dandelions are the neighbors’ top concern…

But we’re here for the safety and protection of the truck. Good job, Red Bull!

 

I can understand that an oring would seal tighter with engine heat cycle, but breaker bar tight? My experience is different.

After I got the dealer oil change and then it was time for me to do the oil change, I would need a breaker bar to remove the housing. Now at 45,000 miles after I performed many oil changes myself I never need a breaker bar to get that housing loose. So my experience shows that dealers cause oil housings to be way too tight Beyond spec. There is some correlation there not sure what it is but seems like a correlation.

If I look at the technical design of this filter housing, I see an O-ring placement which eliminates oil leak during operation. Doesn't matter how tight the housing is, if that O-ring is in place there's no oil coming out and as long as the housing is tighter than finger tight there's no chance of it spining off during operation which would cause massive oil leak.

Just my observation.

 

Replaced the brake lines with +4. Thanks @tonered

 

I have headlights listed in for sale and I'm in central ohio

265/75 or 235/85 are very common upgrades on 16-inch wheels. No fitment issues unless you have big negative offset, or if the wheel is too wide for the 235s.

If you have stock wheels, either size requires no modifications.

 

Damn! Glad you’re okay. Did the airbags deploy?

 

thank you for posting this! helpful stuff!

 

The deer sure were busy this weekend. That hurts.
Between my wife and I we've hit 4. Two were minor and we ignored, 1 was in a rental car so we said sorry and turned it back in. The big one was in my 4Runner at 65 mph: Hood, front fender, drivers door, airbag, grill, AC radiator, fuse box, battery, grill, bumper, headlight (just the wires were left). Since it didn't touch the suspension or the engine (advantage of a body-on-frame design) insurance fixed it and it is still running great 230k miles later.
Good luck dealing with insurance and getting parts.
