What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I wear 2 pairs of socks in case of emergencies.

 

I put my own skid on, and if I can, you can. Some use a floor jack to help hold it up, I went for the more basic "2 paint can skid holder" approach and it worked great.
It also gave me a good excuse to buy a torque wrench and anti-seize for the bolts (even if not required, it let me go shopping ).

 

Relation Race Wheels Protection Rings

 

New shoes! Method 305 double blacks and falken wildpeak AT4W 265/70/17’s.

 

anti-seize? does the Pro skid not have the oil filter door?
i threadlocked my RCI skid because i ain't taking that thing off unless i have to completely replace it.

 

So…. Toyota dealer?

 

They are “Canyon Rock Sliders”. I agree took me 4 years to do much modification to mine.

 

Didn’t have time to get the bumper on tonight but I did add a set of ditch lights.

 

Not to bad,I held it up… my wife helped start the bolts. Be careful of the center bolts, it says they’re supposed to be torqued to 33ft lbs, but there’s no way. I stopped after “good N tight” the fronts tighten down to spec 33, backs too “21 ft lbs” .. easy job overall

 

Buy the hard-plastic kneepads carpetlayers use. Balance the plate on the two pads, put front bolts in first then once the middle bolts are in the rear bolts are easy.

 

Need that in my life!!!

 

I’ve been wondering how those wheels would look on my truck, you’ve just made it harder not to spend more money.

 

The pro skid does have the door too (I also have the RCI skid but it is similar size and weight to the Toyota one). I honestly have no idea if I'll ever need to take it off or not but it seems like any bolt exposed to a lot of weather gets stuck after a few years and removing those is a skill I don't yet have. I'm fairly confident that torqued right the bolts will stay in, and if not all six won't fall out at once. My sliders on the other hand are something I hope never to take off; RCI put them on for me at the factory since I had an unusable arm at the time (I paid them, but still, it really helped me out).

 

Drove to pick up my smartcap. Assemble and install tomorrow.

 

Congrats!!!

 

Installed 6112/5160 and a 1” lift block in the rear a couple days ago.

Got an alignment today.


Thanks to @memario1214 and the fellas at Hotshot Off-road for the help deciding which route I should I go. He answered every question I had and shipped fast despite the storms they were having over there. I highly recommend them!

 

Not done yet but will be installing a C4 Rock Runner bumper this weekend. Powder coater sent me some photos this evening. Coated in "trailer black" which is a more glossy finish with a little bit of texture and should be very durable.

 

Got some wilwood brakes installed.

 

That’s cool!

 

Dude that’s sexy
