What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Finally got my Method Wheels and Falken Wildpeak M/T mounted. It's on the alignment rack right now getting dialed in.

 

Cool! Did those Holes come powdercoated like that or did you have them done?

 

That is the "magnesium grey" Color directly from Method Race Wheels.

It changes color depending on light, angle, and what reflects off the surroundings.

I should note, however, the front wheels did not clear the calipers. The inside face of the wheel hit the face of the caliper. The hoop/barrel of the wheel cleared no problem.
I had to put my 1.25" Spidertrax wheel spacers back on to solve the problem. I think it looks better with the spacers anyway.

 

285's and no rubbing with spacers?

 

My first Tacoma was a brand new 2007 Tacoma - exactly 1 year and 1 day after driving it from the lot we had a huge hail storm come thru here (Arkansas) and annihilate my truck. It ended up being $13,000 in repairs. Insurance paid it all, of course, but I had to drive it for 9 months because of the backlog of hail damage at all of our repair shops.

It looked perfect after it was done except for one chip that developed in the paint due to the paint less dent repair.

 

It's definitely rubbing some plastics. I'll take a knife to it to clearance what's necessary. I already had DeMello Offroad do an aggressive cab mount chop so all the rubbing is on plastic that would need to be trimmed to clear the tires when they articulate anyway.

 

Gotchya!

 

those are some good looking wheels.

 

Thank you! Hadn't seen them on a taco yet and I wanted to be different.

Finally got around to putting my glove box decal on.

 

Thanks, can you post your 'base' dyno #s? I'm getting the K&N done soon but I have a Magnaflow cat back on it so I want to see if that added anything when they run the dyno.

 

Yeah that's the plan. Once we strap it to the dyno, I should be able to share the numbers with you all.

 

I removed the whole assembly then the trim ring and emblem. Scuffed them up a little with a greenie, shot 1 coat of black plastic adhesion paint that I had and then 3 more coats of satin. Same with the bumper caps. I have no doubt I won`t be going back to chrome.

 

I looked at your build this morning. Very smart! The electrical is top notch!

 

You inspired me to put my decal done today too. Thank you very much!

 

Got my front rail and Rocky mounts bike mounts in. Mine and the Mrs. Bikes fit great with tailgate up (short bed). Feel very sturdy. Happy with the purchase.

 

Where did you get the front rail?
