What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Widebody was one of the best updates to the Charger/Challengers

What am I looking at in that picture with the terminals the Red/Black higher gauge wire?

 

Putting miles on!

 

The good: finally got new front suspension installed to level the tuck. Bilstein 5100s with OME springs. Lift ended up being closer to 3in and now my pizza cutters looks really small, but nice to not have 2-3in of rake.

The bad: took it into the dealership (only because of a free oil change) the next day to get the alignment done and they couldn’t due to the “Lower control arm bushing seized on front cam bolts” which they quoted $2200 to fix. That seemed a little steep, and they were able to adjust the alignment to some degree because it drives 10x worse than when I took it in. So it’s going to another shop on Friday.

 

Agreed. We measured the new car and it is a full 12" wider than the 16'. All tire and wheel. What is scary, for me, is that I could absolutely flog the 16'. It handled very well with the tires I had on it and the stock suspension in Track Mode. The new car is absolutely absurd. It is terrifying. I try and drive it the same way and it scoots right out from under me. I've added some bits to keep the rear from spinning and its done nothing. The 23' is on stock tires so we will see when they are used up and I upgrade. My gut says thet Mama MOPAR has underrated these cars and it is pushing much more to the wheels than advertised. I don't even dare play with the Pedal Commander. Without the throttle delay I'd probably just spin on my own axis and never go forward. I just don't drive it enough and driving a truck has numbed my race car ricer guy senses as well. Tacomas are much different than STI's and Hellcats. Though, my son says I drive the Tacoma too hard. "Its not an STI Dad..."

The module you see is an Spod relay module with the cover off. Its been draining my battery so I gotta reach out to them and see if all the dip switches and stuff are correct. It should not be draining an Optima Red Top in a matter of hours. Especially with no load other than the little button controller on the dash.

 

You just cannot beat Yosemite. Especially, if its off season and the tourists are thin.

 

Idk where you’re headed, but I’ve had excellent luck with F.A.T.S. for alignments
GTF if shit gets hairy with the seized bolt

 

Oh man. I had a decent car myself.
I hope I catch the pinhead in my carport trying to lift my ride.

 

While not for me, but that flatbed is badass!!

 

Those cars are a riot of a good time. Even the 392's are a blast.

 

Thanks! It’s been pretty awesome

 

I’m taking it to AA the shop, will check out F.A.T.S if I need another option

 

Watching grand tour ( dvr)

Had cracked windshield replaced. Then went to local dealer to get new rubber for the passenger side wiper. Nope, don’t sell the rubber; comes with entire blade assy for ~ $30.


Stopped a little too long to look at Taco TRDPro, meaning sales lady appeared (I think they have trap doors on the showroom floor). I’m sure there’s good (meaning they know their product line) sales people but this wasn’t one of them. Pleasant enough but not a clue about the truck. There’s something going on in the seatbacks of the front seats - figured has something to do with controlling the ‘bounciness’ during off-roading. Two each per seat, pressure gages, valves - seemed WAY TOO MUCH going on for whatever benefit they may/may not provide.

Sticker: $68K and change.

No, thanks. As an aside, the lot was empty of non-trucks (well, I think there were 2 Priuses (Pri-i?)).

 

New drying toy. Man, this thing is strong, 765 version. $299 at Lowe’s with a “free” 2.5 battery, and I used a $100 gift card so not bad for $200ish.

 

$30 for a wiper and $68k for a Pro

 

Is that Yosemite?

 

No it's in butte county

 

Yosemite falls right now
