What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good, JBA FTW. But FWIW the stock shocks aren't 4600's. They're both yellow, but are actually a 36-39mm shock IIRC, as opposed to the 46mm of the 4600's. Hopefully you don't regret setting the 5100's that high. The 4wd trucks tend to ride like crap with too much lift.

Can confirm. Belmetric has gotten so much money from me since I picked up the Supra. I never thought replacing hardware would make me so happy lol.

 

They are on my list for sure. I actually contacted them to just sell me raw material so I could fab some rears that would match. I'll revisitr that when I order them.

 

The rears would be nice. I want to cover the area under the tail lights. I got some universal flaps from Amazon that are for tractor trailers, plenty flexible, very thick, and like 24x36”. Gotta make the cardboard mockup.

 

Nice! I love fabbing stuff. Cannot wait to see your results.

 

Yeah I don’t love fabbing stuff. It takes patience and experience that I don’t really have. I have had those flaps for a minute and have been putting it off, got another set of flaps that might help keep the dust and grit outta there.
I wish I had more fab experience, I use my hands all the damn time. In the real world I’ve been cooking for a living forever, so reality is my best efforts always turn into shit.

 

What’s the padlock-looking thing on the top left?

 

Its a rock light. I used existing holes in the sheet metal to mount them. Bought the kit to have under hood lights and just threw the rest on for Mall Crawling.

 

Maintenance today. Inspected upper/lower balljoints, greased top balljoint. Didn't see any play in the lowers.

Replaced the cabin air filter, it was time. Added some essential oils for ambiance, we'll see how that works out.

 

More hardware showed up today so camp lights installed.
I kinda want to mount rock lights to the Prinsu, 4 on each side and 2 rear but I don't want to spend $200 on lights when the 6 I have were already bought years ago for $60.

If anyone wants to know why there is a jack under my bumper it's because I have 1400lbs of natural stone tile in my bed and don't want to leave my springs overloaded over night. So the jack is taking some weight off.

 

Love those wheels!

 

Thank's. I went more budget on the wheels (4th of july sale was nice) in order to afford the upgrade to the 6112/5160 shocks and wasn't sure how I would feel about it once mounted but im really happy with them now that I see them on the truck on tires.

 

Better photos

 

Yep, the polished wheel look is growing on me again. Had some on my 1st gen. Got some black scsray10's forever ago for my 3G bc i was going for a two tone with my inferno (which I haven't installed yet due to other mods on wait) but the more I see polished wheels, especially since scs came out with theirs too, I've been starting to reconsider my decisions. Ha. Think im gonna stick with it, then eventually change it up at some point in the future and go with polished wheels of some sort.

 

It was a hard choice since they offer this wheel in Grey/Black/Bronze and Machined Aluminum... I so wanted to be cool and young and go with black or bronze but im in my mid 40's and I just think aluminum is classic. Heck if there were more choices for a 16 inch wheels with the offsets we use I would of done a 16" since i like a thick sidewall look.

 

Replaced the worn TRD Off-road stickers

 

When it came time for my two daughters to get their first car, I insisted those cars be manual transmission. It cracks me up that from then on they were the only kids in their peer groups, including boyfriends, that could drive a manual transmission vehicle. They loved it and thanked me for it.
