What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

U still have stock uca??

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Dang, I’m trying to find something low profile for a step but I don’t like all the OEM steps, and haven’t found anything aftermarket that doesn’t stick out super far. I like the look of sliders because they kinda hug the side so they aren’t super noticeable but they are $$$$

 

Wasn't technically today but finally got around to taking a picture. Debadged and removed TRD sport emblem. Should have AVS in-channels by now but dealing with some crap about returning the scuffed up ones I got. Hopefully they ship some new ones soon but I'm not holding my breath. Not the best pic but had some time on lunch break to snap a quick one.

 

Finally got some decent tires on the SR5, 265/75R16 Wildpeaks. Love them already.

 

Not today but over the past 3 months since I got her

Looks awesome. Do you know if they have anything to remove the chrome-ish or white (whatever it is) around the edge of the rim? I had been looking at these but wasn't sure I loved how it looked. Seeing it on your truck it doesn't seem to take away from the look as much as I was expecting but interested if they have options to black that stuff out.

 

The plastic coated ones (like in the pic) are $500ish I think. I got Go Rhino D6 for around $400.

 

Late to the ditch light party. Never really saw a need for them. Figured I’d give em a shot in preparation for the Appalachian Toyota Roundup this weekend. Went with the Rago Fabrications Brackets, paired with some @Baja Designs Squadron sports, since I have a set in my fog light positions.

Knocked it out over lunchtime, will see what they look like tonight, and adjust from there.

 

The faux bead lock bolts? SCS was in their thread a few weeks ago and linked to an ebay listing with replacement bolts to black them out. You can find them here. M6x8mm is the size you want qty of 100 should cover all the wheels.

 

Yeah I just got the suspension. Will run fine on stock UCAs for a few months til I make a decision on SPC or TC. Icon DJ is out of the question

 

Thanks! Never thought about this. Not a need, but now a strong want.

 

Those look nice! Yeah most sliders I see are like $700-800 or more if you want them powder coated.

 

These are just steps like the OP you asked about. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t think they are actual sliders. These are for door dings, the ol lady, mother and appearance.

Check out Tyger too. Lots of guys swear by them. I was concerned about a cheaper brand leaking rusk and leaving a brown stain on the black so went with a brand I’ve used before. I will say I haven’t heard anyone say that has happened, but I didn’t want to risk it.

 

Yeah their Matte Grey or Bronze would look really good on your black truck. $1600 for materials alone was a hard pill to swallow though. I was pushed along by the fact that I had the ugly SR wheels and couldnt take them anymore

 

Ray 10'S look awesome!! Does not look like you have any issues with rubbing with your tire size, Hoping to get mine mounted up very soon.

 

Nope! they fit like a glove. there is some minor rubbing on the front air dam that could be fixed with some trimming but I'm just removing it as after looking at pictures I think it looks a lot better without it.

 

Thanks for the info, truck looks awesome.

 

Anytime! Thanks I've really been enjoying it.

 

What front bumper are you rocking??
