What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I made my truck the background on my phone today.

 

Hi, first post here. Just installed the Ride-rite #2407 air springs.
Took about 50 minutes per side. Fairly straight forward with air tools..Now my 2016 can ride level when loaded.
Wished the inboard nuts came welded on, but that would be to right..The four nuts on top next to the air connection
gets fairly tight there. Rides really nice when unloaded and can now be made level by just adding air.
Now for the bad: While underneath the truck above the rear axle there is a control box of some kind. I found brake fluid all over the spare tire and under the bed. Looked like it was
leaking for awhile, I only have 4k on it and its going back to the dealer on Monday
Well that's about it for now...

 

Just got my 3 inch lift and wheels and tires. First week in the truck. Came from Fj Cruiser. Love the truck.

 

Thank i am trying to train myself to be more mind full exiting. Still looking for something metal to protect bed rails and tailgate.

 

De-badged and re-badged the door emblems today courtesy of @rrentrop
These should be available for purchase pretty soon

 

I took mine to the dealer today due to my airbag light being on, came home in a loaner Camry because according to the tech they had to contact Toyota to assist in troubleshoiting the issue. Light was off when I took it in but it had stored codes and they were able to duplicate the issue. They are thinking it will need a new wiring harness and told me it would be at least a week. I've had the truck 2 months and it has 2k miles on it. Pisses me off but it will get fixed. So that's what I did to my 3rd gen today.

before & after...

Now for the night time shots.

 

Mine's a Sport, not an OR, but it's pretty much the same as far as removing the vinyl.

Before


After

 

I see your wiener.

 

I got a little crazy a while back and smashed up my skids on some rocks. One of them almost completely folded. If you have never looked closely, factory skids are cheap pot metal. More like splash guards than skid plates. Anyway, bought the Relentlessfab skid. they have two models: Aluminium and 1/4in steal. I opted for the latter. The thing weighs 80lbs. Solid as a rock - no pun intended. Pretty easy to install, no drilling. You just have to read their instructions closely. I like a lot. Highly recommend. Although I reserve the right to update my review after I smash some rocks.

 

DB Customz grill, removed turd stickers, weathertech mats, bed mat, homelink mirror rewired to only work with ignition. Waited 7 weeks for her, finally able to enjoy. Put her to work right away. I'll add 17" wheels at some point with 265/70R17 tires but honestly I like the stock rims too. I didn't like them as much in pictures but I like them in person.

 

Added this to ole girl today...then brought my kids to their soccer games, love pissing off potato soccer moms! It was a hard decision between the gunship and the A-10, might get the A-10 one for my pelican cooler...

 

Great looking truck!

 

Went from this...

To this in 12 hours or so..

 

Put some firewood in it.


And to tack on to the leaf spring discussions, here's what my leafs looked like under that load, I might end up getting the Dakars earlier than I thought.


Edit: To be fair, according to my trusty Google, that's about 900 lbs of firewood, so with my wife and I, plus chainsaw, gas, etc. I probably overloaded the truck... Good thing I wasn't flying my plane.

 

Holy f**k!

 

I posted an edit, apparently I might have overloaded the truck, so the truck isn't entirely to blame. Who knew wood weighed that much.

I may have done a bad. With the wood out of the bed now, the leafs are still flat, not springing back up to the proper arch. We'll see if they rebound over the next day or so.

 

Ok I'm tired of people talking shit about things they don't know. First off, they don't make a supercharger or even a cold air intake for 2016 for that matter. If you really want good power, get a light weight car that's boosted. This is a truck forum.... I just wanted something to amplify the sound of the truck. If you don't want to change the exhaust, then be like your stock truck and be silent.

 

Ummmmmm it does sound good with new exhaust...
