What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Overload left in place or removed?

 

Most definitely! You’ve lost 17 miles of [enter whatever bizarro word you’d like here] that will only compound over the life of the motor if left uncorrected.

 

Shoot for The Villages. Rumor is, not that this would be appealing to - well, ANYONE - the area has the highest percentage of STDs anywhere in the history of anywhereness.

 

Or, maybe just raise the truck off the ground, set a cooler full of beer next to you, put on some Sammy Hagar, “I can’t drive 55” and spin the wheels for 17 miles. Then you are starting from new. But I’m not sure with everything being computer driven that this would solve the problem. After about an hour of spinning the wheel, and a half rack of beer behind you, check the OD. If it didn’t change, well, finish the beer, lower the truck back to the floor and feel good about the one hour upper body workout you just accomplished.

 

Looks good. I picked up the same lightbar and am hoping for a warm enough day I can get it installed. But I bought the tacoma specific lightbar kit with the brackets and wiring harness. Hopefully mine goes smoother!

Drives great feels the same as my 33s, mpg so far about the same.

 

Nice find. Can's wait to see the finished camper build.
My family owned two Daihatsu vehicles: a sedan and a crew-cab pickup. Never had a single issue!
Didn't get to super high milage though (just because the commies kept us from venturing too far). This was in Laos, from 1967 to 1975. Before that we only had walking, bicycles, & motorcycles. The car was pure luxury (comparatively).

Traded the sedan around 1971 for a Citroen GS, but kept the truck. Also... Indian is my favorite choice of USA bikes. Love yours!

 

That's interesting. Where did you get the honeycomb for the X-Trek? I'm running the barbeque-grate diamond that came with it, but that hex pattern is kind of an interesting twist.

 

It's actually black plastic chicken wire I got of Amazon

 

This weekend, I had the OTT tune put on my truck. Ended up with the Lite/Mild setting. Definitely is more responsive and seems to shift better on Lite and definitely on Mild. Mild is a bit too touchy for me in a parking lot or parking garage.

NOW, I think the truck is finished... at least for now (I think I said that a few posts ago).

 

Looks good.

 

Thanks! And new shoes are next on the list!

 

For sure, new shoes are next up!

 

Removed. I thought about leaving them in for even more rake, but decided it looked fine without.

 

Installed a new windshield (again).

 

Really got tired of doing that in my JKRU I traded my DCLB for at the beginning of last year.

Haven't had to do that with the Taco yet
*knocks on wood 3 times*

 

The moral
Of this story tells you. To purchase it all including the brackets. Though you did an excellent job fabricating those brackets

 

Which Diode Dynamics light did you purchase. I think I will go with your way and fabricate my own brackets too

Are you re-geared? Looks good BTW!
