What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Well, the dog barfed in the backseat big time, twice, so I cleaned that out today. No pics.

 

thats a bummer

 

Left-handed people are the only ones in their right minds.

 

What? No "smell-o-vision" available?

 

Looks great. I will be going 35s this year, just waiting for my tires to wear out. Did you do the fender trimming?

 

Honestly I only saw a slight drop. I averaged about 16 mpg over the last trip through Idaho with decent climbs and flat travel as well. I think I was getting 17/18 prior to installing the camper.

 

There definitely was and is.
I wiped the rough country seat covers down and rinsed out the rear husky liner. Windows were left open as I'm too lazy to unclip and pull out the covers for the washing machine. We'll see how long I can tolerate it as it's supposed to get back up to 100 in AZ soon.

I've used the black on an F150 when towing my 34' camper. Dirt bike in bed and 650lb tongue weight. I like the blue for the Taco when the height and contact looks like the picture posted earlier. I might have gotten the "builder set" Sumo Springs if the blue ones weren't so doggone inexpensive...

IMHO, the black will work well if the constant load dictates the version with a higher weight rating. I'm running a topper on my Gen 3 with a bunch of recovery gear and dirt bike stuff in the back of mine and think the blue should do the job perfectly....

 

That I did. Put that C4 kit on August of 23, ha. I've been prepping for 35's for a while now. CMR, beat the pinch weld back, -12 offset on the wheels, aftermarket UCA's, and a lil bit of trimming. Getting an alignment today to see if its all going to fit just right or if I have to put some spacers on as I wait for a different set of UCA's.

 

I installed the no drill hood struts and they work very well, took all of 15 minutes.

 

I love these things, another mod that should be standard.

 

Any info on brand? I'm looking for some no drill options that would also accommodate my Power Tray. Thanks

 

I know replacing my serpentine belt is way past due at 151000 klms so the question is, has anyone had to replace any pulleys etc. in addition to the belt or should I just replace the belt?
Here is the cost comparison on Rock Auto for 2 brands of kits.

 

And here I am wondering about 33s...

 

So, I found this 2016 Matchbox Tacoma 2 door access cab on Ebay. I liked the look of the blacked out nose and modded my 21 SR Tacoma to match.

 

Removed a dead cat from the radiator fan shroud. Put a new belt on since I took it off to take the fan clutch off. Darn cats sleeping on top of the engine at night.

 

i wouldn't say like a sway bar. they are like adding a progressive rate spring. imo they are too often used as a bandaid fix for an improperly sprung truck. best ride quality would come from a shorter bump stop to not sacrifice uptravel without the added stiffness. every truck ive been in with these and others like the timbrens the ride was god awful. you should never feel your bump stops hitting during regular day to day driving.

 

Which Brand? Link?

 

Hit a good milage number today. I mean wish it wasn't high but still cool.
