What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I made a Counterfit TRD today

 

Probably Ditch Light,
Thank you

 

Look at the rago fabrication mounts.

That's the link for the led lights with a bunch of good info and pics to help with install. Check out the first post for part numbers!

 

New 17 inch Method Double Standards!

 

Goteverything lined up, cut, installed and functioning properly! I'm very verypleased!!!!! It was a little scary cutting the body on a new truck but it really wasn't so bad. The extra weight caused a little less than a half inch of drop in the front (I went out after and hit some moguls at speed lol) I already corrected it by cranking up a little preload on the ICONs. It wasn't noticeable looking but I'm way too OCD for that nonsense! I like the light bar mounted under the hoop. It gives the tiny hoop some purpose.

Southern Style Offroad slimline hybrid bumper

Smittybilt x20 10k winch with wireless remote

CaliRaised 20" spot single row bar

Shackles from Amazon

Orange daystar shackle isolators

I'll post more pics and light output shots tomorrow. I'm still beat from the trip and it's beer thirty!!!




Also got rid of this worthless piece of crap while I was wrenching

 

Lift and wheels ordered today. Went with 5100's and 886's up front and 5125's in the rear with Dakar leaf pack. Wheels are SCS F5's. Will post pics when I get it all installed.

 

For me it wasn't only about the chrome finish , I hated the grille ! The shape, detail etc.

it looks better but nothing is comparable to the pro grille IMO

 

Installed factory LED puddle lights today. Lights enough under there you could do an oil change. Lol!

 

What lights did you use?

 

Hey Chris did you get mesh on grille yet?

 

How's it drive without that sway bar?

 

It's different but the best way I'd describe is it now handles like a truck lol. I definately still feel in controll but Im curious how it would be driving down a road like the CA 1 with long tight turns.


I can already say that it really allows the suspension to work. It will actually articulate now offroad and it allows the icons to soak up the bumps as intended. I'll be leaving it off but I may throw it back on if we tow the travel trailer down the coast again.

 

Do you have a factory part number for these lights? Thanks.

 

So today I picked up my new 17 QS Tacoma. I had a TRD pro grill that I got for my black Tacoma but since I traded it that truck in I decided to put it on the QS truck. I didn't like the "gray" letters so I decided to pop them off the TRD pro grill and re-paint them a flat black, I think it matches a lot better... Well in my opinion anyway lol

 

^^^looks great! Can't wait to see those bronze TE37's on there!

 

Hello neighbor ... just NE of Hocking Co

 

Thanks man!! Yeah that will be my project in the next coming week

 

Turned out awesome!

 

Where do I buy them from @PapaRee?

If you don't mind, may I ask how much you lost in trade in value from your original OTD purchase price?
And what's the delta on price for your new truck?
