What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

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!

 

Love those tail lights. I have a set also.

 

How do you like it? Where did you get it?

 

I love the softness of the stock suspension, prefer to be less stiff. Not against a very mild lift or even different shocks to keep the stock height. I also don't like climbing onto the truck when I can slide my ass in without using my legs.

 

I dig the extra girth of the steering wheel hah! For me this is the most noticeable with driving. The extra finger grooves on the back are nice as well.

Picked it up from Revesol's ebay store. Their web store is sold out. Seems like they have plenty of the sold out colors on the ebay store. Same price as well.

 

That's too funny!!!
I have recently collected a few, up to 4 now with one installed. I bought a Limited grill and had it painted flat black. Think I'm going with that one.

 

Red means go!

Also did the chrome ring delete for the start and 4×4 switch.

 

My people!!!!!
