What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I kinda hated it at first but it’s settled in. It actually keeps my lead foot in check sometimes. Definitely not obnoxious but it will get attention (wanted or unwanted) At most cruising speeds you would think it’s stock. Mash the gas and surprise some folks.

It’s funny to listen to when the A/C compressor or whatever kicks on- the tone changes to a deeper, more desirable (IMO) rumble. I listened to it cycle on and off a lot today while temp testing the new spare tire near the exhaust dump.

If I had more disposable income I would be experimenting with combinations of different intakes and exhausts.

 

New leafs:


Even with an AAL, the old springs were flat. With the cap, 2nd battery in back, aftermarket rear bumper, and gas tank skid, I'm probably running at least 400# over stock on the rear.

 

275/70R17 fits fine with OEM exhaust. No mods to fit.

 

Good to know

 

Just tell her at least you’re not spending the money on drugs and alcohol or gambling; and she most likely won’t be, but she might be proud of you.

 

Carven Axle Dump for the win!

 

How do you like that easeord water tank? I have a 4gal waterport but the easeord seems like it would fit better in my truck bed drawers.

 

I usually check my tire pressure while on long trips via the onboard screen. Well I noticed while I was almost 140 miles from home I had dropped 4 lbs. pressure on one tire. Sure enough I picked up a nail somewhere. Was able to put air in and it held overnight so I was good for the return journey. I do carry a small compressor and tire plug kit if needed. Got home Saturday afternoon and plugged it. Interestingly the lug nuts on that tire had very little torque like maybe 10 pounds if that! That's from Toyota's free tire rotation. All others were fine though. Also rolled over past 10k miles so need to get an appointment for that service and do the rear axle weld spatter recall.

 

So far, it works great! It says not to put more than 55psi, but I only go to 35psi and it has more than enough pressure. It's well made, looks clean and mounted easily for my needs.

 

City water is usually around 35 PSI.

 

In Portland, Oregon it’s between 40 and 80 PSI. Mine exceeds 80.

Finally got the RCI transmission skid after I ordered pre memorial weekend. Was going to install but RCI missed shipping the trd pro plate hardware kit.

 

For my Waterport I fill it up with no pressure, then use my Milwaukee inflator to pressurize it to 35-40psi when needed.
My garden hose has filled it up to over 60psi and tripped the relief valve, plus I worry about carrying it pressurized when bouncing around off roading. I've had a Waterport fail at the hose connection and have seen reviews of people complaining about the tank bulging.

 

As much as this sucks.. its pretty epic.

 

test fit the first mod on the new bumper.

 

I didn't want the Waterport as it's plastic. Went with welded aluminum. Honestly, I could pressurize it to 20-25 psi and that would be enough.

 

Holy shit!
That is freaky!
That wrench head reminds me of Alien creature busting out the chest!
Skary!

 

Yeah, I have the stock hitch for now with the Alu-Cab Contour as well. I think for my situation, the pedals get "real" close to the tailgate. I just don't want to take the chance and have it dance around back there to put a nice scrape in the paint. A small spacer would get it sorted, but I could also just throw my +1 additional rack on for the same effect, albeit, slightly more cumbersome to mount and dismount. I guess it is what it is. Thanks for the insight man.

 

I finally replaced the factory oil filter housing. The plastic one failed after 70K.
