What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Pro grill and rigid spotlights lights went on today hopefully they are as bright as I want them to be!

 

Drained and filled rear diff oil after 1200 mi. with Redline Synthetic 75W-85.. took just under 4 qt until it started coming out the fill hole. Not much metal on the drain plug. Just insurance. Also posted this over in the LED lighting discussion...

Added these for hi, lo, fogs in the order shown below. All in was just under $200.



I had been running the Opt7's for the past week in the fogs and lo. Color is obviously much whiter and more crisp than the halogens. Cut off is very nice as well. Have not been flashed once. The BPS lights have been installed for the hi beam. Fitment was perfect and the quality and packaging of the BPS exceeds the Opt7 in my opinion. Only partially negative comment I have is that the Fluxbeam LED fans are loud and noticeable at idle.



They don't scatter, the photo is just terrible. I need a lesson in photographing light at night. Below are the shots from the inside...

 

Thanks for sharing, please take a shot tonight with the lights on

 

This truck sits so different from the 2005 Ram I had and the hood makes it hard to guess where the front end is. If I didn't do it I would have bumped something I am sure.

 

I think you will be happy with the lights put mine on last week. I have rigid radiance with white backlight

 

Pretty much can only get it from ECGS. They have videos of what it entails. Every model of Tacoma has had this issue, and once it starts it won't go away even when returned to stock height. Toyota has barely acknowledged the issue, and they do have a different needle bearing available, but it is prone to the same issue. ECGS sells the bushing to dealers as well, if the dealer has dealt with it before and knows where to go for a real solution.

Call ECGS, and search the forum. that's where I got my info from.

I figured everyone else seems to express their right to free speech, I should do the same. Tired of negative movements always getting the attention.

Truly the first bumper sticker I have ever applied to a car.

Custom made it thru Zazzle.

 

I really like the color matched letters. Wonder how BBP would look?

 

Where did you order?

 

Got my new wheels from Conicelli Toyota (partznet.com) they are the dark satin alloys and will replace my factory silver SR5 alloys .. they look really nice, can't wait to get them put on my truck

 

Got the arb awning mounted, off I go

 

Those look very nice.

 

So I just got my brackets and ditch lights from @CaliRaisedLed. Got the light bar from eBay. Got the panel for the switches from shapeway.com and got the mictuning switches from Amazon.

This was my first real major install on this truck. I'm not a mechanic or electrician but have a little knowledge plus the help of this awesome forum!!

Took longer than expected roughly about 4 1/2hrs. Hardest part for me was the lower grill bracket and led bar... I didn't purchase the led from Cali raised so I couldn't use the provide bolts they gave (my mistake next time if I had I would order lights and brackets from Cali raised) it was just a hassle getting the larger bolt from the eBay LED to fit the hole of the Cali raised led bracket.

But I finished it! I think it looks sick! I just hope I set it all up right and if you guys can ask me how I connected it please do so I can explain and see if I did it right! Thanks!

 

Just ate some tacos today that's about it

 

Still haven't taken a decent pic but I helped a local member put on his icon aal and adjust his king coil overs

 

A local shop, sdhq got them for me

 

Any chance you can link me to those lugs? I have the same wheels and have been looking for black lugs like that.

 

Got the CBI Off Road rear bumper on. Amazing fit and finish. Hats off to them!

 

Sure, here you go ... $25.19 free shipping .. i received them pretty fast
