What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Install a p3 Tekonsha brake controller,
plug & play easy connection install.

 

Looks good! I am going to have to pick one up to go with my gray interior. I think that will go nicely. Do you have anything for the area between the boot and the ball?

 

Installed my cbi T3 bumper today.

Not sure how you got those oil stains on your drive way, but if you don't deal with it the time those stains occurred, they will never go away. You can take my word on this. No matter what you use. I've used everything possible including industrial strength products and high pressure power washers.

 

Not my driveway, but ill be sure and pass it on to my brother even though im sure he doesnt gaf. lol Im pretty sure most of those stains are from his 4runner in the background. I hear you though!

 

Truck looks great. What else have you done to it? Can't tell if it's lifted for sure but it has a mean stance.

 

Seems to be allot of that in the world these days.

 

Had a little time this morning. Went ahead and applied the silver decals on my TRD Pro shift knob to match the truck. Time consuming. But, it turned out awesome.

 

Installed the Rhino Rack Backbone system. It was relatively easy and I love the look. Now I just need to figure out how to mount my 40" single row light bar.

 

Been a few weeks now, but I moved to a new rental place with a garage finally! First projects were replacing the grille with one from @customcargrills and put on a TRD skid plate. Didn't realize how small and thin the standard sport plate was... decals to fill in the TRD are on the way from @rrentrop! Original plan was to plastidip my rims Anthracite Grey this weekend, but the rain put a damper on that. Another weekend!

 

Yesterday was a good day.
265 70 17 BFG KO2s
17x8.5/0et Method Racing Roost wheels
Gorilla ET spline black lugs

 

I love my Extreme Country tires. They were pretty cheap, which is nice for M/T tires. 10K miles and no significant signs of wear or abnormalities, and they're pretty quiet.

 

Thanks! I just have a 3" OME suspension lift, 90021 nitrocharger shocks all around, 888 coils, SPC LR UCA's, and dakar heavy duty leaf springs in the back with overload left on. Not running any spacers on my wheels either just 17x7 trd pro sema wheels wrapped in 255/80/17 cooper st maxx tires!

 

Interesting.... It looks like the y-pipe was re-designed from their standard y-pipe, which I have. Goes around either side of the transfer case now. Wish they would have done that originally... It's a tight fit when both parts of the y-pipe go over the cross member on the passenger side... maybe a 1/4" - 1/2" clearance above the cross-member on the driver's side pipe that comes over.

Anyway looks good. Need to get the power extractors now and see how they sound with it... No cats at all!!!

 

Install a rear bumper power supply usb & cig. adapter.

 

Don't do it! What did those rims do to you?! Seriously, the sport rims look great on your truck in my opinion. Also I really like that grill.

 

Thanks! Funny enough, after these pictures, I'm waffling more on painting them. I ultimately want the TRD SEMA wheels in grey, but I figured I would give dipping a try before I even think about dropping +$1k on wheels.

 

~10,500 miles. (Dealer just did the 10k):

• Front & Rear Differential:
  $129 Motul Gear 300 Fully Synthetic Gearbox Oil - 75W90 1L (Pack of 6)
  Motul Gear 300 Fully Synthetic Gearbox Oil - 75W90 1L (Pack of 6)
• Manual trans fluid:
  $33 Ford Genuine Ford Fluid XT-M5-QS Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid - 1 Quart , black
  3 of Genuine Ford Fluid XT-M5-QS Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid - 1 Quart (Supposedly GL-4 75w80)
• Transfer case:
  
  $50 Genuine Toyota 08885-02506 GL-5 75W-85 Differential Gear Oil
  Toyota Genuine Fluid 08885-02506 Differential Gear Oil LT - 1 Liter Bottle
• Tourqued (Leaf springs were loose), Lubed (Rear zirk is a MF) and cleaned what I could (Wiped down bare metal and rusty bits:
  $20 ACF-50 Anti-Corrosion Lubricant Compound - 13 oz Aerosol - MUST SHIP GROUND!
  ACF-50 Anti-Corrosion Lubricant Compund (Love that stuff)

Notes:
- #1 Gear oil stinks, and 100% chance you will make a mess.
- All fluid levels seemed fine, clearly dealer had just checked and toped off the rear diff. The others, I'm not so sure.
- F&R Diff fluid were nasty (Especially the front and I've never really 4-wheeled this truck)
- The M/T crush washers were dirt cheap at dealer ($1.50) vs Amazon
- Toyota T/C fluid was only $33 on-line (Vs ~$50 at the dealer)
- Amazon pump attached to the FOMOCO bottle and worked ok for M/T (Just lots of pumping)
- Motul built in funnel worked perfect for rear diff (Too short for the front. could have clamped on some hose to extend, but just reused the M/T set-up)
- T/C fluid comes in 1L CAN. It was exactly enough. I poured it into a Dollar-Store catsup bottle with 3/8" tubing, squeezed right in.

 

Finally got around to mounting my Krazy Beaver shovel! Used a rubber stop, bolts few washers and a couple Quick Fists.
It's mounted on the inside channel of my RCI BedRack. Really like how it turned out. Kind of out of sight out of mind.

 

Thanks! The only thing between the boot and ball is a lock nut and a rubber grommet that keeps the boot down. Other than that the shifter itself is exposed but it doesn't look bad, it's powdercoated black.
