What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You may want to give bpfabrication a call, the picture on their website is a 2Gen Pro skid plate on a 3Gen. 3Gen Pro skid is different.

 

Put on a @Pelfreybilt IFS skid. Slighlty disappointed in the fitment and during the frustration, I'm pretty sure I crossthreaed one of the 12mm bolts. Guess I'll see when I pull it off after my Moab trip.

Good thing we don't have to take it off often for oil changes.

 

Parked mine in a prime spot this morning!

 

quick question guys, is there a major difference between the 5100's and a 5125's?

 

That was easy! Vled’s and 12voltsolutions remote start. 30 minute job!

 

oooh. i really like the way those look. i've been shopping around for the last few months and can't decide on what to get. you sir might have sealed the deal

 

Decided 28k miles was enough for the stock wranglers and went with a set of P265/75R16 Falken Wildpeak AT3W's. As others have mentioned, these things look even better in person. $460 for the tires through Discount Tire Direct's ebay store after the $100 discount (expires 3/19 so HURRY), $208 for mount/balance and tire certs so roughly $683 all-in including tax. Probably could have done better on the $32/tire install cost but I was already there.

 

Put some rigid molle on the seat back today.

 

Thanks man, I really like the look of these as well. I think Demello describes them very well “out of the way, but there when you need them”

 

If you actually read around, people aren’t having issues, and some who did just messed up install or didn’t recalibrate if needed.

 

While off road is a good home (and my favorite besides the range), dump trips and construction sites are frequent uses also. TRUCKSTUFF!

 

LOVE those tires. I have them on my '17 Wrangler Unlimited, and am itching to put them on my Off Road Tacoma. Only 5000 miles on it though and wanna run the stock Wranglers a little more. They won't bring crap trying to sell them used cause the market is flooded with used sets.

Looks like you're at stock height(no lift) so any rubbing or feeling any loss of power?? Tires look great, btw...

 

Locked & loaded! Slick setup!! Where do you keep the rifle? I have a handgun and a rifle I keep in my truck all the time. The handgun is easy to keep out of sight but the rifle always lays in the back floorboard in a soft case. In my F150 I had before this it could slide right under the back seat and be out of sight but Tacomas don't allow that.

 

I think you can get an after market under seat box that should allow a rifle to go in. I just can't think of the brand.

 

yeah stock height and haven't noticed any rub with wheels locked in forward or reverse. I have the plasticolor mud flaps so not sure if there'd be an issue with oem but there appears to be quite a bit of room left. Only drove it about 5 miles back home but didn't notice any power loss. Believe the stock wranglers were 42lbs and these are listed at 44 so basically the same weight, just an inch taller.

 

What size is your molle panel? Thanks

 

Sic set up, I'm need to do the same.

 

I haven't even gotten my Tacoma yet and can already see myself becoming more poor, this site is so bad for the wallet. Lol

 

I made a couple things:





The prototypes are available, if anyone wants them. Just pay shipping:


You would need M10 1.25 x 50mm bolts.

Edit: Attached are the model files in Fusion and Step formats along with the 3D printer file (STL).

I included the basic round spacer. With that one, you will have a gap under the trim piece.

The hole in the seat rail is larger than the bolt shank to allow proper fit up. For my Taco, I just made two different spacers with the hole shifted 2mm. You could open up the hole in the model files to allow alignment. Either way, I included both of my files with the Fusion, Step, and 3D files.

Disclaimer: I printed mine with strong PET material and feel confident in the design and any risks. Anyone else who uses these designs assumes all personal risk themselves.
