What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

What are your guys thoughts on the Ripp coil packs?

 

Ceramic coated it. Man it makes it shine

 

Full Archive Garage rear end. XD leaf pack, Hammer Hangers, 3.6 shackles, cross tube and ubolt flip.

This is the new look.

 

What lift did ya get? Looks awesome
Got the same color truck!

 

From what I've read, they seem to be more show than go.

 

Finally got around to checking this. Same procedure as the old battery - 4 hours after unplugging from the CTek tender - 12.72V on the multimeter.

 

And there's more...

 

Drove it to Parvin State Park to get some time in the water. Nice local spot my wife and I attend on occasion.

 

Same, i call it the jeep recovery hitch

 

Made a doubler plate from steel sheet to mount a safety flag on my All-Pro bumper for Silver Lake:



Painted and installed:

 

Is this one of the situations where the driver thinks " I have a Jeep and go anywhere no matter what". LOL

 

Grandpa let his grandson drive the jeep while he sat passenger. Kid went through the creek in his dirt bike a few weeks prior so he thought he could get the jeep through it. Street tires and zero recovery equipment…

 

I got the OTT tune installed in my 2023 Tacoma today, and I luv it! My Tacoma is 6spd manual transmission. I tried tune with Super Spicey, but was too sensitive, so I got it lowered to Spicey. I luv my Tacoma!

 

I just installed the ultimate tailgate seal and sealed bed-header-bar with butyul tape. I will see if that reduces the dust under my tonneau cover.

 

I have never seen that happening in any of my Toyota vehicles with a plastic oil filter housing. I use a spanner wrench that fits a 2012 Corolla, and 2010 RAV4. But the RAV4 Toyota's oil filter housing is made of aluminum, while the Corolla's isn't. I also use a spanner wrench for my 2013 Tundra (this wrench is larger than the other spanner wrench), and fits the plastic housing of the Tundra 5.7L perfectly. Both spanner wrenches fit tightly over the different oil filter housings. The spanner wrench locks on the lower octagon-shaped (maybe tetragonal) bottom of the oil filter housing, far away from the spot that broke off your oil filter housing.

Did you use an oil filter plier instead of spanner wrench?

 

I spent several hours attempting to install a TRD Skid Plate, only to realize (following an exhaustive internet search) that these skid plates will NOT fit if you've had your differential dropped. Mine was lowered by the shop that lifted my truck. I realize by reading many of the forums that the need for a differential drop (when getting a lift) is very debatable, but I'm not going to undue it. Ugh...

 

^Why not? Just need to remove two bolts and use a hydraulic jack i.e. easier than installing the skid. May need to buy the shorter OE bolts if you didn't keep them.

 

The reason is that differential drop has an intended, functional purpose of reducing stress on the CVs (according to those I've talked to, plus some independent research), whereas the skid plate is just for looks (I don't off-road). The logical decision for me is to forego the skid plate.
