What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

j/k......

 

Gotta have em if you got a lotS of deer running around. One hit and my whole front end was jacked with all this plastic

 

How rigid is it? It looks like with the only attachment point being at the bottom it would hinge into the hood fairly easy.

 

Out in West Texas, we invited a fella to sit with us at motel breakfast.
He introduced himself as Rod Johnson, said he was a driller.
My bride smiled.

We spoke about bull bars, and he said it is not "if" but "when" you will hit a critter out there.
He also taught us "half a tank of gas, is out of fuel in West Texas."
We damn near learned that lesson... fortunately my bride's RAV4 gets incredibly good mileage.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

That’s a serious guard you got there. How much that thing weigh?

 

Around 42 lbs

 

Nah been buying same style and hitting shit for around 24 years from these guys. Might bend in on a cow or fat ass axis or something but those will fuck any grill guard up

 

Both are solid pieces of advice! Also, I wonder if he’s related to my buddy Dick Johnson haha

 

In Tx we also have things called bump gates. You “bump them to open” so with stock it fucks shit up to not have one

 

Driving my Corolla (loaded with as much "need now" items as my first move-out-west stage ... crazy how few of the rest-stops have toilets and how many are just "truck-pullouts-with-picnic-tables". Next time I drove it was a 20-ft U-haul WITHOUT cruise control. My GPS did not even tell me the name of the nearest exit in many cases.

I-20 between Ft Worth and I-10 is ... well ...

 

No way! Really? It’s not aluminum correct?

 

Nope steel. And I didn’t weigh it was just a guess

 

My flat RCI transmission skid weighs in at 40 lbs and is barely wider than the transmission. That grill is full-wide+. I am not sure "42 lbs" will cover it.

 

Looks pretty close! Thank you and I'm glad to be part of the Taco community!

Installed a Sherpa cab level (full height) bed rack but some reason passenger side is lower than the driver side. No height adjustments. Normal?

 

Haven't been on in a while and it turns out I still spend money on this damn truck without the extra push from all the great mods on here,so i added a few things since last time.of course its useless without photos so here you go.i have a few other add ons that I don't have pictures of and some add ons coming. I will share when they come in and i get some pics.older photo of when I installed the heigh10
morimoto headlights,meso sidemarkers. And one of my favorite things that has been alot of fun is the ikamper Skycamp mini 3.0

 

No lift. Completely stock suspension. My truck came with 17s so the only issue might be the slightly larger tire, but all the research I did pointed to no issues with this wheel/tire combo, and I can confirm, no rubbing at all.
