What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Check the metal shims that came with it. There's a minor difference on 2 of them, it's hard to notice if you are not comparing all of them side by side. On my initial install I had them installed wrong creating a similar situation to yours. Good luck!

 

Didn't take much in the way of pictures but I installed an OEM 1in block and bilstein 5125s in the rear. Allows for use of the full travel from the stock springs. Did a quick drive over some speedbumps down the street and the difference really is night and day. Way smoother and less bouncy.

Front suspension is still stock height but its a dclb and they don't have quite as much rake from the factory so I think it looks fine for now. Eventually want to throw some 6112s up front but might cheap out and do 5100s sooner.

 

Also wanted to note that the 2 metal sleeves that come with the shocks actually have slightly different inside diameters. I think one is metric one is SAE. Most people dont seem to realize this. Of course those and the bushings are too wide for a 3rd gen so I had to machine them down. Also made up brackets to lower the ebrake cables.

 

Yes, or maybe, Rix TuxeGo.

I didn't see that coming.

 

Yes, and this, I would assume, might also be a food requiring an 'aquired taste'. What sauce is made from fish guts?

Garum was produced by fermenting fish intestines and other parts, often with herbs and spices, to create a flavorful sauce. Similarly, modern fish sauces are made using a similar fermentation process, yielding a liquid that is rich in flavor and aroma, reminiscent of the garum used in ancient Roman cuisine.​

 

Interesting thought. I thought I could shim the one side to bring it up. This bumper did not come with shims. Nor did it refer to shims during install. I will double check. I did notice washers of different thickness but the washer shouldn’t affect the height of the part based on location above and below mounting point. The bumper is sitting flat on both mounting points. I would be interested in seeing yours if shimmed.

it’s probably a moot point since most people won’t notice. I guess I will run an experiment and see how noticeable before I worry too much.

 

Took our new pup to her first vet check up in the Taco today…she seems pretty comfortable in the truck!

 

The face says it all. Like most kids, not a big fan of doctors.

 

He can be demoted to “lil Ricky T-shirts”.

 

Took some better pics of my anti leveling kit.




Plus some archive garage u bolt flip love.

 

I have the older version of the bumper, it came with 6 aluminum shims you could use or not, depending on the rest of your setup.

Is yours not level to the eye or an actual level?
Don't forget to keep in mind the driver side lean due to the weight of the gas tank/battery.

Good luck figuring it out. And remember, sometimes close is good enough.

 

Makes me wish I had an unnecessary hood scoop. That is rad.

 

Just to keep stirring the pot..That link didn’t really give a reason why, just that there would be no more daily reports. But what was there to report? My moneys on offended owners with raptor lights

 

Yep! She wanted to be home for sure

 

Yeah...vague on the reasoning...but a Perma Ban was handed out.

 

My money is on being a MORON in a non moron zone. Guy prolly doesn't even own a Tacoma.

 

I recently got a 2021 OR. I de-badged / de-stickered it, took off side steps, did the water drain reroute thing, put on TRD skid plate.

Next I am looking to get rock sliders..

 

Congrats on the new purchase! Make it your own, as I see you are already doing! This site is a wealth of information.

 

Snagged a vintage metal coleman cooler for my bed rack
