What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just crossed a 1000 miles and it's been 8 months to the day. I have this weird random Chewbacca howl coming from the front end when going 40 mph. It's so random that getting it to do it for a dealer might be a challenge. Front diff maybe?

 

This looks good! Thinking about doing the same now! Got any side shot pics?

 

Not

At the moment. Will try in a bit.

 

Sweet, thanks! I'm guessing you bought 4 of those kits? Did they fit good on the Ray10s?

 

Fit was perfect. They actually sit flush with the rim whereas the original set out just a bit.

 

Maybe an hour or so. We took our time and just kinda got up to the top eventually.

 

Here you go. Only side pic I really have of before


And after

 

Wow! Nice looking rig.

 

Thank you.

 

Joined the faux pro grill club. Will test on freeway tomorrow.

 

How much lift did that rxt leaf pack give you?

 

Damn. That looks good. My next mod for sure after my lift

 

Tint, and ordered a trd shift knob. 70% on windshield and 18% fronts and over rears.

 

Looks great. You would get hammered by the State Troopers in my area.

 

Or I wonder if I can paint my Ray10 hex bolts black? Anybody have any input on what paint I could use?

 

I got my info here. Some people have painted there own. Just be real careful putting bolts back in. Aluminum threads in rim can strip easily

Thanks, they don’t seem to mind around here. Last truck was 5% all around and 50% on windshield and never had any issues.

 

The goo is likely some type of butyl tape - same as

$33 3M 08612 Windo Weld Round Ribbon Sealer, 3/8" x 15 ft Kit

window weld. I use it for all sorts of things - measuring closure gaps, temp installing anything, gluing down coworkers laptops to the desk.. Had to replace the plastic sheets on an old 4Runner restoration we did and this worked well to secure it. Tip if things start to get messy - use the butyl to clean the butyl, works brilliantly.

 

As you might have read, the RXT leaf pack comes with an extra leaf that you can use or leave out: http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop...tacoma-rxt-rear-suspension-system-stage-1.jpg

I went with "option 3", and put in the Speedway Ford Model-T leaf liners to eliminate any possibility of squeaking. I got 4 in. of lift total, of which I estimate about 3.6 in. from the leaf pack, and 0.4 in. from the leaf liners (1/16 in. x 7 layers). It's a bit more than Icon advertised.

 

Noted, thank you. Hey, wait a minute...

I think I've been there.
