What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed a 2.5 Fox ultimate suspension and upgraded from 265/70/17 duratrac a/t to 285/70/17 toyo open country m/t on trd pro runner

 

Looks damn good

 

Shop wired in my front/rear dashcams, can anyone guess what the problem is??

 

Thanks

 

swapped the front and rear? xD

 

pointing down?

 

They mounted the camera on the sliding window so if I were to open the window it could damage the wiring or the camera. Truck has to go back for some more work anyway.

 

well this weekend I got rid of the front spacers. I stalled SPC upper arms and Billstein 5100s. I think they ride smoother now.Need to try them offroad

 

Yanked 'em.

 

I had a question.
Does everyone who lift their trucks need an ECGS bushing to replace the factory needle bearing of their CV axle?
Or is it only necessary for those who lift their trucks higher than 2" inches?
I am begrudgingly considering a 1.5" inch lift with after-market springs and shocks because my stock sport rides so stiff and very bouncy and my back is killing me.
I just wanted to know if this is needed absolutely before having to re-do the suspension because of the CV axle bearing and end up with twice the work and costs.
In other words, has anyone who has done 1.5 to 2" inch lift here had issues which necessitated an ECGS bushing replacement for your CV axle? I'm trying to keep my total cost and efforts required down.
Since I don't know how to do suspension mods, I have to pay to get it done not to mention cost of the parts itself. Thanks!

 

TRD intake today.

 

You could just reach out to the socal group and see who can help and make it a weekend activity.

Many people with stock suspension get the vibes and many people who lift never do. I had a dealer lift and got the vibes. They replaced needle bearing and vibes returned in 150mi. I was lucky, since it was dealer installed lift, they put ECGS bushing in at no cost. If you can afford it, get it done and won't have to worry about it. If not, you may be one of the lucky ones who never get the vibes. Just my thoughts.

 

If all you want to do is improve the ride quality just change you Hitachi shocks for Bilsteins 5100s. I did and it's a significant improvement. Big difference! I had the same complaints you have, and the Limited has the same stock shocks as the Sport.

 

BTW, you can get 5100s with no adjustment (the Limited model) or you can get 5100s where you can have no adjustment or up to 2" lift, in case you want to do that. I went with the Limited.

 

BHLM done this weekend.Loving the blacked out look

 

What's up with your high beam?

 

I used nightshade on them to get the all black look. Initially I just wanted a light coat to keep some good light output with the reflectors but I kept getting spotting where wiping them down didn't really work so I just did a few coats and made them darker. I never really use my highs so I'm okay with them.
