What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Have had 3-4 sets over the years and have never hydroplaned once...

 

I think the OEM size is either a “metric” or “P-metric,” not an LT.

 

I like that. Have same color and same wheels and I hate the wheels. But also they work great and I can't justify the expense to change them just for aesthetic value. So I've wondered how much a different set of tires would change the look. I saw one guy on here has some really big tires on them and they looked great. I'm not going that big and your pics confirm that even modestly oversized tires will make a big difference. Thank you!

 

That isn’t terrible. What happens to the hitch when you relocate the bumper. Sorry for the questions but I have never messed with a body lift.

 

Added 2x 3 gal Rotopax fuel cans in preparation for a longer road trip. Bought the blemished ones for about 50% off full price and can’t see anything wrong with them.

 

Felt the same way about my '17 OR in black, ended up slapping some Wildpeaks on and it definitely helps.

I'm actually leaning towards picking up a set of these factory wheels for my '21 sport (I prefer a smaller wheel) to fit some skinny 33s.

 

If use “common sense,” and slow down during raining conditions, not doing “Fast and Furious,” nobody going hydroplane.

 

I saw these a while back, I wish I could take credit! White letter 285/75 BFG’s with a Flat cap off a 16” trd beadlock looks great! FYI, they don’t fit without wheel machine work modifications I read and confirmed.

 

Well, I installed them yesterday morning. Took about 3 hour from start to finish. Very straightforward instructions and I watched a few videos of installations beforehand to have a good visual of the process. I adjusted/compressed coils to about 3 3/8" of threads showing between collar and black base...less than max 99mm. After a 100 miles yesterday, settled to 2" of lift so far. I did give driver side an extra 1/8" to reduce the lean. Very initial impressions are great...less body roll on turns and less/no nose diving while braking. I have air bags in the rear so that's how I'm currently raising rear an extra inch.

 

Upgraded the latch on my swing out. Original Southco latch lasted about 2 years before it started to feel loose. Went with an E3 Machine Ultimate. Took advantage of the Memorial Day sale.

 

Hey TW,

Before i spend a lot of money on new aftermarket fogs was going to try a vinyl film first to see if I like the orange. Question: The OEM fog lights get very hot when only for only a minute or so do you guys think vinyl is a bad idea?

 

im raising the hitch too

 

I’ve done 3 different vehicles with these from Etsy with great results!

I've used this company's on 3 Tacomas and they are top quality. https://lamin-x.com/toyota-tacoma-trd-2016-2023-fog-light-covers.html

 

Just finished squirting the underside, frame, and rocker panels with Eastwood rust preventer and Cosmoline black. Truck will smell like an oil refinery for two weeks.

Now looking for a 16 inch TRD wheel for the spare, to match the four on the ground.

 

you're welcome for the extra push

Hansamzac and I chatted about these in person, they're a great "budget" option for those looking for a full coiler replacement. I've just hit about 10k miles on mine and they're riding great. I'd only recommend the stage 2s so you don't have to compress springs and put on the tophats, plus you gain adjustability for preload/height.

Outside of some having "top out" issues, everyone seems to like these eibachs. Check out that thread for a better explanation of that, I just added a 1/2 in spacer to the top of both of mine and it completely fixed my top out issue with them.

I just got some on Amazon but was surprised how hot the OEM fogs got

 

guess they’d cool when driving??? I’ll check out the link

 

Been running ATKO's for a LOOONG time (and will continue). Never been a problem for me.
Had them on a 93 Ford Ranger, 2000 Nissan Xterra, 19 Ford Ranger and they are going on the Taco.
Local FD and SO run them on all of the pickup trucks and Tahoe's. We have a 4WD ambulance running them too.

 

here ya. hitch and bumper relocated.
