What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

got a chance to drive over speed bumps and other bumps in the roads I would normally notice clicks and didn’t hear anything. Tested different speeds and angles. Seems like it’s a worthy chance for $25 to make the sound go away.

 

Should be. The mag lugs have a slightly different contact cone/head to them than steelie ... run mag lugs on steelies I am told make for wobbly and other bad things.

 

OK thanks.

 

More info on this install??

 

Hello fellow Tacoma owners. What brand/type of rear seat cover are y’all using to try and keep dog hair from getting into your cloth seats? Thanks in advance.

 

Switched out the ol stock OR wheels for the 16” bronze DX4 Beast and reused the stock tires. Nothing fancy, but looks better.

 

This was the dealer installed usb originally mounted in the back of the center console. Power supplied by being tapped into the console storage usb.

I added the Guild interior AC converter wiring in a new receptacle (including USB-A and C) in the back of the console. Moved the dealer option to the passenger footwell.

 

Oh… also added a dual usb-a and a usb-c receptacle behind the radio trim to power twin RAM-mounted MagSafe charging and HUD gps speedometer.

(made my own bracket-rough adaptation)

 

What do you think you're going to lose in ride quality with a lift? If done properly, your ride quality shouldn't change very much. With a bit over 2" of lift, I'm only marginally stiffer over small bumps and I'd argue that the ride is much better over big bumps. Even with the sway bar removed, I have little extra body roll when I maneuver hard. The same goes with the 255/85/16 tires.

 

I did that once to my 2021. Way too much work, and the truck didn't work any better after.

Then I drove it out of the yard and down the dirt road out, and I couldn't even tell.

A clean windscreen is nice though!

 

sum beeches

 

i found one with a 10 year old new tire......sorry now its 12 years old

 

so if you get a flat on an alum wheel you cant use the steel spare

 

Does anyone know if Thule makes longer claws for there boxes?

 

width may be different

 

I have a problem with collecting but I think i settled on a grill i like. SR5/Limited has got to be the best 3rd gen grill ever.

You can call me Paul Wall

 

Did the install on the NYTOP rear recovery points. It always takes me longer to install items than the estimates. By now I think I am the common factor. NYTOP sent new bolts for the frame tie in but I found that the holes in the recovery piece don’t completely line up with the frame welded nuts. I used three new bolts on each side and one existing bolt. Worked like a champ and is on very solid.

Also installed the Kuat bed rack about two weeks ago. What a quality piece! I set it to the mid height for now. You can change it to bed height if you what. There is also an option for an enclosed panels kit for short beds only right now. I got mid height Molle panels for each side but haven’t got them put on yet. Kind a work in progress.

 

I'm interested in the NYTOP front points. I'm not sure what you mean about the mounting holes not lining up? Is that a QC issue to be concerned about? How did you have to address this to mount them? Thanks.

 

Width of the wheel? It measures exact same as the spare essentially. That’s really all they are. Just not OEM Toyota ones because like someone said above I refuse to pay 300 for a single one with an 8 year old tire on it

 

No photos, but just about to hit 500 miles on my regear to 5.29s. A little overgeared right now on 265/75r16, but 33s are next as well as some weight from cap and bumper.

I can actually use 6th gear now, and it doesn't complain or downshift over ant hills. It's great!
