What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Look into RoadMaster Active Suspension.

 

I don't have much left to do by now lol. Low profile bumper and air compressor are all that's really left on my list, but low on the list since I'm also building an old Supra. Check my sig for links to both build threads if interested.

I know this feels. I tried to do everything right the first time with this truck, but sometimes you're just not feeling a mod anymore or it didn't bring as much to the table as you were expecting and need a change.

 

Yes, same factory mounting points. They come with flat head bolts, but I found that they are too short oddly enough. I just used the OEM factory bolts.

 

In my build thread

 

Question for the group- after my suspension (OME MT64/HD Leafs/UCAs) & driveshaft spacer install. I rotated my tires as well. I've now got a sort of vibration from 19-45mph. It's constant, doesn't change tempo under acceleration, coast, braking. Just a constant rubbb.......rubbb......rubbb. It's not as fast as a tire/driveshaft rotation & I can feel it in the floorboard and pedals...

Any ideas on what's causing that? I aim to get the tires balanced again to try and knock that out as a potential. Anyone else have this experience? This was not happening prior to suspension/tire rotation.

Pic for attention:
Thanks in advance!

 

Perhaps rubbing on the inner fender well plastic or mud flaps?

 

The tires seem clear- I didn't size up yet, since there's plenty of life in them at 265/65/17. They didn't rub before, but I'll make sure the splash guards are not flopping down and all the clips are still in good condition.

 

ECGS Bushing?

 

If you used the carrier bearing drop, your driveshaft angles may still be off. A 3 degree axle shim may be the ticket, that is what fixed my vibes after my lift. I tried the CB drop but it didn't fix the vibes and measurements were still off. I ditched the drop after the shim.

That said, I would NOT rule out the tire rotation and would start there first, which it sounds like you are addressing. But if that doesn't work, check Headstrong Offroad for a shim.

 

Dang it. My Rek Gens came with the bogus brand name, not ‘4WD’.

I bought some first gen decals off eBay, they didn’t stick to the generic flaps, so I had a buddy make some more with the negatives for a template, painted them this time!

 

Although those will look nice on your Taco they just don't last long here above the 49th. One cold winter and my front ones have cracked and are nearly falling off. I wish I could but rubber ones like on the 1st Gen.

 

If you want to go the shim route, I have a pair I'll send you for the cost of postage. Hit me up by PM.

 

Agreed, I’m about to buy some semi truck rubbers and cut my own

 

PM'd. Thanks for all the responses y'all! Gotta love tacomaworld.

 

It was finally warm enough to install my Expedition Essentials 3tpam dash mount.
I had a Taco Garage DSM for as long as I've owned the truck but I didn't trust their system to support the weight of a tablet while off-roading. I reused my Quad Lock mag charger for my phone mount and added a Hondo Garage Big Squeeze for my tablet.

No more looking at a tiny map on my phone when I go out on adventures.
