What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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.

 

Just got installing this and it's Solid there is no wobble to this set up. Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions

 

Thanks that looks great. It’s one of those things you can do that isn’t really noticeable but people will look and wonder why that truck looks different. (The body lift)

 

I finished plumbing in the ClearSource Mini 3 stage water filter system. Now we can fill our main 10 gallon tank from most any source while on the go. I also made a USB powered ventilation fan insert for the rear window. Its for the dogs when they're sleeping in the back in the midwest humidity. The rear seat delete includes a USB power bank to run both from the auxiliary battery system.

 

Just rolled over 60k so today was Oil Change, Bleed the brakes, and replace the stock windshield wiper rubbers. Need to find another weekend for my spark plugs

 

Raising my 2003 Tundra 2.5 inches for whatever reason caused me to lose traction in the rear . I would spin out really easily on wet or icy surfaces where it didn’t before altering the suspension.

 

I am not a fan of these wheels either, just the looks, I thought about getting 1 of the decal kits to cover up the polished areas but not sure how they hold-up to off road use, but for the price it might be worth a try

 

I got them a couple days ago in truth. But I was on a road trip camping so posting the new tires today still counts right?

I went with KO2 over KO3 because from the reviews I have read the KO2 is slightly more "off road" then the newer KO3. I've had great luck with the KO2 in the past. So history wins.

I went with load E because these god damned rocky mountains eat tires like they are free.


Edit: I had two people PM me to ask why I stuck with the factory size. Which is a great question given I could have easily gone up a little. The short answer is... I need every single inch of wheel clearance and deflection possible. Infact, if anything I would go down in size not up. For what I do, what I experience I've found that 265 is plenty of clearance. I also completed my skid plates so if need be I can and do drag it over anything I need. I'm not crawling, I'm looking for aliens and fly fishing.

 

I didn't bother with the tint, I went with HELLA ultra yellow Halogen bulbs

 

@K9tacoma - “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness”. Thanks for the nudge!
