What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Excellent. Hopefully you were more educated than I for that change, which was a splashing mess. I did mine yesterday. With the use of the following (hoses went into holes on top of oil pan), it was very efficient/clean. I am really glad I learned about them on this forum.

For what he has into it, it’s outfitted better than a pro.

 

A lift and UCAs?

 

He stated he has more lift than the pro

 

except it’s not a Pro.

Not bashing the person that put the pro sticker on his truck, in fact I hit the like button when I read the post. I hit the like button because I got a chuckle with it. I also figured that the poster is a TRD fanboy and that the truck build is inspired by the Pro.

let there be no mistake that the modern day Pro is a capable purpose built off road truck …and that Toyota actually cares enough about it to put a hot-iron-brand it ….no more funking $2 stickers.

 

I get that it’s not and I’m not saying anyone is bashing him. What is the difference between a fully loaded off-road and a pro? Nothing but a small lift and branded parts.

 

I think you might have the Offroad and the Pro mixed up. The Pro: comes with a $5000 dollar professionally Tacoma tuned suspension. The Off-road: $300 dollar yellow shocks with with a pair of $2 Offroad and Bilstein stickers.

-you have to feel it

 

Da scoop

 

It’s still an Off Road with Pro stickers either way you look at it. I don’t think anyone’s bashing, just wondering why

 

ferda…

 

Why does anyone do anything?

Why does someone put mud tires on a pavement princess?

Why do people get a lift and stay on road?

Three pages dedicated to wondering why someone would do something to THEIR truck, I love the internet

 

I couldn't decide the where I wanted to mount it and how many screws I was gonna use. Hence all the countersink holes. I ended up using (4) #14 x 1" stainless screws. It feels pretty robust.

 

Bilstein 6112 set 10/8, Icon rxt option 2, Bilstein 5160's and Ecgs clamshell bushing done.

 

Ya.
Back in the "60's" people used t put mag wheels and paint flames on their 6 cylinder plain jane.
Some people take the sticker off their ball cap some leave it on.
Some people paint their house or fence crazy colors.
Some people like tattoos all over.
So what. It's theirs so theirs to do whatever.
it's easy to criticize.

 

Looks great. What running boards are those?

 

Cali Raised sliders w/kickout

 

Is that a 2" lift? Did you leaf springs in the rear?

 

I want to get a "Bilstein Leveling Kit" instead of a Lift because my pavement princess doesn't need a more expensive Lift.

Then I can get a semi-aggressive wheel/tire set-up.

It does seem crazy what people do to their Tacomas...but I'm more of a spectator in this regard.

This guy makes it look easy without messin' TOO MUCH with the Springs.

Lift came out to just under 2 inches. I went with the Icon RXT leaf pack
