What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Oh, I get what you mean now. Thanks for reminding those who choose to do this job.

 

What is FSM?

Warped is warped. I concede. So I'm a looking now for oem replacements, anyone got a special place with a special price they know of?

@MrMobile , @OLDTRAP , @RockBunny , @Beuhler??

$90 43512-04052 Toyota Genuine Parts - Rotor, Brake Fr (43512-04052)

43512-04052 = oem part #.

 

It would seem the links in the thread I linked are not useful, at least for me. Maybe someone else has a more current link.

 

Oh, yeah, thank you. Ooooppppss, that link does NOT work, as noted.

 

Tracking down some pops and clunks, I temporarily removed this to see what happens.

 

Couldn't get that one to work...is this the one?

I think we are looking for the "full service manual" that covers more than the "user guide".

 

New tires! Upsized from 265/70 Rugged Trek to 255/80 Wildpeak RT01. Loving the look of the skinnies!

Factory Service Manual

 

@thomasburk

Shipping costs ? Your local dealer ?
Maybe print those and show them to your dealer

 

Nothing too substantial, but I did get to be apart of the Impact Wheels launch of their 880 series, specifically the 8815s on my truck! Made the front page of their website so that's a pretty cool one too! https://impactwheels.com/ RRW RS7s got sold to @Hansamzac last week so hopefully he can get some tires together and get those mounted on his truck!

Still running my same 275/70/17 AT4Ws, couldn't justify taking those off and trying to resell with only 11ish thousand miles on them, maybe this summer we can eye some bigger tires

Pics of course:

 

Pushed the pool noodle between bed and cab. Hope to test it out tonight.

Pushed up from bottom holding the hammer head, punctured noodle a couple times but I think it's still good and tight. Difficult part was above gas tank using extended arms couldn't get the leverage I wanted. ...

Why?

 

I have heard, it is a great sound deadening mod, reduces road noise in the cab. Seems like a very cheap fix giving big bang for buck.

 

Got it! Thank you - good find.

 

Were you told that by the pool noodle salesman?

 

He guarantee.
