What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

compared to what you had?

 

came from Stock OEM TRD OR billsteins. Even though I’m still in the process of dialing in the compression/rebound adjustments, it’s a very noticeable improvement to ride and handling, but that is no surprise

 

I have a similar setup with BP-51's except with SPC control arms and Ironman 4x4 heavy load leaf springs. I also had the medium load version of their springs prior to getting a Super Pacific. Either way, it rides really nice and there is zero squeak from the leaf springs. I also added the Timbren active bumpstops front and rear and Archive Garage hammer hangers/shackles.

 

Can I ask where you purchased the kit from? Did you have to have anything checked after the install? and approx. How long to change everything out?

 

Nice where is that located and what did it run you? Do they clean the underside before they spray it?

 

Chichester NH, 279.00, blew it all down, and would have scraped it if needed for an additional 200.00, but that wasn't needed.

 

Honestly wish I had that service available around me in Virginia! Looks like they did a great job!

 

Had to check my truck over for damage this morning... last night my wife and I were at a meeting for our daughters dance team, she had to go home before the end of the meeting and I was going to catch a ride with another dad there.
Mid meeting I text my son "what did she hit?" and he responds "how did you know she hit a curb?"

So, she hit a curb, ran over a sprinkler and a bike, and made a giant muddy tire track in the yard...

Her exact words before I gave her the keys was "you need to start trusting me with your truck"

 

Yeah, nope. My wife hasn't driven my last 2 trucks at all. I'll find scuffs and dings on her vehicle that she has no explanation for.

 

You sure you're not married to my wife?

 

I just emailed these posts to your wives ...

 

I got my wife a new 2023 rav4 last year. She has 3500 miles on it now and has 2 big door dings and somehow has a dent on her roof.... She too cant explain how they happened. Yet my truck is 6 years and 55k miles in with less damage.

My wife has never driven my truck. Fortunately, she's kinda scared of it. If she can smoke curbs in her tiny Corolla, I'd hate to see what kind of damage she'd put on a longer vehicle.

 

That is hilarious. Sorry for damage, and the frustration, but that is a funny story.

 

My wife had to drive my truck while I got her Elantra serviced...she did not like the "skewp" initially.

She's never been a comfortable/confident driver considering she grew up in England; where she didn't learned to drive!

It wasn't until we got reassigned stateside that an American friend taught her while I was TDY to PSAB in 1996.

TDY= Temp Duty
PSAB=Prince Sultan Air Base, Saudi Arabia

 

I recently acquired a nice huge scratch in the middle of my tailgate thanks to my wife lol, all of the damage on my truck is either trail or wife related. The most recent time she accidentally smashed our metal dog ramp right into my tailgate

 

Installed JBA UCA's

 

My wife drove a Bronco I had at one time. She said it was smoking and smelled like it was going to blow up. She left it at a dealer. I went to look at it and as soon as I got near it I knew what happened. She drove it with the parking brake on. I asked her if she noticed the light in the dash. She's now afraid to drive any of my vehicles. Fine with me and she has her own excellent suv. Problem is she's never looked at the owners manual. She said the radio was terrible. I changed the tone settings and she said it was great now. I asked her if she knew the tone quality could be adjusted. No comment.

 

That would have been the red flag! Lol.
