What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Strongly thinking about retiring, at what age did you put in your notice ?

 

Lowering kit?

 

Dang I might want to find a thread on this as well. I installed a front cam not long ago as well as an android auto unit, and the steering wheel button access that was advertised does not work...

 

Great work!! make me one!! lol.

 

Plenty of room for whatzits and whoozles, Pokémon and magic too.

 

Yes, there's a few members here that used it on theirS and they look nice. I do not plan to offroad mine, daily city driving, and its not a 4x4

This is a picture of @TRSAndrew truck.

 

That's the first 3rd Gen I've seen on here...that I can recall...lowered.

I do mostly paved driving in this rural state of Delaware.

But if I lived in LA (which is where I grew up), I'd entertain this thought!

Or maybe not...since it would attract attention in the Barrio.

EDIT: that tinted windshield...

 

So few weeks ago someone posted there mileage, then everybody was talking bout Temperature. I knew this day was coming, so this was yesterday Happy 4th. & according to my good friends of Iron Maiden this is the number of The Beast.. & if wanna break down 77° could be seventh son of the seventh son..

 

Yeah that's the way a 2wd SR/SR5 should have came from the factory, love the stance, heck my wife even likes the look... I wish I could see one in my B-red that's blacked out...

 

Post 145 is a blue one.. EDIT: post 174 has a black one, 179 a MGM(?) one...

Still looking for a B-red one...

 

I installed my lift last weekend, Icon Stage 8. Coil over pre-load to max and RXT leaf springs on option 3.
Just had the tires & wheels mounted today. Icon Anza wrapped in Geolander M/Ts. 275/70r17.

I’m wondering if the tires look proportionally too small, but I’ll see if it grows on me. I have 30 days to decide.

 

Changed oil and filter. No drama. 55,243. 11k since I bought it end of last September. That surprises me because I haven't been anywhere, however Home Depot and the supermarket are 12-15 miles away.

The most irritating thing is the skid plate and the 'special tool' getting stuck on the filter. The rest is a breeze

 

How much weight do you carry in the bed? Option 3 is a bit much for an empty bed.

 

@pinche_wedo I concur with this ☝️

The truck looks great but I do think the tires would look more proportional if the rear wasn’t as high. Although if you need that for cargo and/or a camper of sorts then I totally get it.

 

59 years old. Grateful to be able to retire little earlier than normal.

 

Didnt do anything to my truck, but I just wanted to share my new folding wagon and how I got it.

 

yeah, I’m feeling it. Switching up soon.

 

Toyota 4th of July sale. $327 with tax and shipped to the dealer. Got a chance to install it today. I’m sure there are better steel skids available but for the mild off roading down gravel roads mainly, it works for me.

 

Congratulations
