What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

12v 1/2”. Awesome little tool. Really only use it for lugs

 

Addressing some rust on my hitch

 

Maybe they added a block lift. Either way looks nice

 

The picture makes it look like more rake than stock.. but I think it's just the perspective/lens as the rear wheel looks larger than the front wheel as well.

Nice truck.

 

Got my molle panel today, so much more storage room.
And these kydex molle J hooks from Eastern Woods Outdoors are really great.
Now I just need to figure out how to organize it.

 

What is involved in removing the plastic behind the rear seats- Does it pop right out? I want to open up that space like that.

 

Just six 10mm bolts and you can yank out the cubbies, they have plastic panel retainer clips holding them like the rest of the trim inside the cab.
You don't even need to remove the seats.

Just be warned it is pretty loud when driving without the cubbies, there are vents on the back wall that let the cabin have equal pressure with outside air (I assume that is their function) so you will want something that can cover them but still let them breathe.

Edit: six 10mm bolts to remove them, three for each cubby. The molle panel only uses 5 of them

 

It does look a bit raised.

I'm getting the TRD Suspension Kit Lift done next week...2" in the Front/1" in the rear.

Current measurements from center of wheel hub on my 2021 Sport:

Front 20.5"
Rear 22"

 

Post a pic when’s it’s installed, I’m curious to see the outcome.

I’m installing 6112 & 5160 in the rear plus old man emu (medium) leafs next week. Just waiting on the front shocks to arrive.

 

I'll post on my thread:

Just keep in mind, these vents are for equalizing pressure, enough to reduce injury to persons, for slamming doors and deploying Air-bags!! I think it's important NOT to restrict them.

 

Taco Lean. Look at that. Question, can front coil overs be rotated left to right and vice versa, to reduce the lean? I know it won't be eliminated, anyone ever try this?

 

Yep that was my thought process on what they did.
I just have the sound deadening in front of it but not touching it, kinda like the factory fabric they have behind the cubbies already, and it is still open on the sides where the molle panel ends.

 

18 months is about as long as you'll get out of them before the adhesive gets bad and they become a nightmare to get off.

 

AlphaRex dual color fogs added, 16x8 Method 315's added, love the setup now.

Anytime Locker works good.

 

They can be swapped side to side, but it gains you nothing. The problem is you have the battery and gas tank on the driver's side and nothing to balance the weight out on the passenger side. The best you can do, without going with new shocks/springs is a 1/4" spacer. I have an extra laying around here I'll send you for cost of postage it you'd like. I'll warn you, I'll be out of town from early tomorrow until at least late the following Fri.

 

Interesting, no gain, did you try it before? That's a fine offer, thank you. Believe it or not I got a 1/4" spacer already installed, and I got an extra, but I don't think another will fit in there not enough threads to make it happen.

 

Aftermarket shocks will come set up with the driver's side pre-loaded a bit more than the passenger to level the truck off. I have Dobinsons that I assembled myself. The instructions tell you how to set them. After my springs did their initial settling, I did have to go in and add a little more preload because I also have an AGM battery in the bed...on the driver's side.

Edit: You're right, if you already have a spacer in, you won't have room for a second...the studs in the tophat aren't long enough.

man that looks nice. Glad I got a cement color too
