What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mobtown's website says 65 lbs for the steel, which is what I have. I know I'll have to upgrade when I get the bumper and winch, so I may just wait and install it all at the same time. This also means that my sliders and rear bumper should be on their way!

What should I paint the skid plate? I was thinking either black or some sort of accent color to match the shocks or something.

 

Did you see any gain like better MPG with this setup?

 

If it were me, I would just go black. Since I went with an aluminum skid, I just left it raw but "may" powder coat it satin black at some point. Doubtful though...

 

That's what i'm thinking. It'll contrast well with the Total Chaos UCAs I have and LCAs I'm ordering.

Well, off to the store to get some black spray paint! I considered powdercoating it but considering how bad our roads are, I'd rather just respray it after damage.

 

So the USPS fairy came today.....

 

You're gonna love them! I have been very happy with mine!

 

Got my 3inch ready lift in. Very happy with it

 

Bilstein 6112's & 5100's arrived for front and back respectively. The 6112's are BEEFY! Can't wait to get these installed. They are set on 2nd notch with 1/4" space for driver's side, so I am expecting about 0.75 - 1.25" lift. Also have SCS F5 Wheels (16x8 4.5" bs/ 0 offset) arriving this week along with Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires (265/75r16).

Will be sure to post lots of pics once I get the shocks installed, tires mounted and alignment done. Can't wait!

 

Installed new LED H11 headlights, threw together a shovel mount that fits under the tonneau cover, and put together a whip-flag mount. I'll paint the mounts when I get a bit more time...

 

Installed my Redline Tuning hood struts.
A+ Product.
A+ Installation Instructions.

 

First Oil Change!
A little early but that's how I prefer to do the first one.
Swapping out the OEM drain plug for one with a magnet on it.
Swapping the factory plastic oil filter housing with an OEM Toyota aluminum housing.




Pictures of the work in progress and stuff. I cleaned up the original filter housing and drain plug, bagged them and set them aside on my factory parts shelf.

 

Resident Evil!

Added start up image and screen off image! I am officially part of the Umbrella Corp. (For those Resident Evil fans)

 

There's a guy here who turned a 2010 Corolla into an Umbrella company car, complete with a "how's my driving?" sticker.

 

I gotta see that! Where can I find it?

 

Probably have to go digging unless someone has it quick. This was from a while back, if I remember correctly.

 

Dunno. Here's here in Austin - I'm betting he's posted it online SOMEWHERE. Time to summon the vast power of Google. I never snapped a pic because my phone is always in my pocket when I drive because that's an expensive ticket.

 

I know there was also the guy that did the Umbrella Tacoma

Copy that....I shall google.

 

Googled. Holy crap. You can order all of the decals from AliExpress and make one yourself.

 

Wow!...that is another level!
