What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I think those look great- grass is always greener I guess as I wish mine tucked in just a bit more. I think you went with the right choice, the 0 degree Cali- raised look like they might stick out even more than the C4 version I'm running. My chief complaint is during wet/ muddy weather it's really tough to keep my pant legs clean (I know... boo hoo, poor me). For someone my size they don't really function as a step unless I'm trying to get to the roof- although my kids and wife would disagree.

 

Any issues rubbing in the front by going larger ratio?

 

That is why I don't use the parking brake. I read to many posts like yours.

 

I didn't realize it was an issue? I did a search and only came up with issues with older trucks and ice... Is there anything that I can do, apart from not using it?

 

Derper the hood scoop. Four coats, no glosser.

 

I guess that if you get a sport or an off road model it is on the side of the bed in vinyl.

 

Use it ALL the time. Worse thing to do is NOT use it because if you need it and you don't use it regularly it may fail entirely. Your issue sounds more like an adjustment issue. Take it back to the dealer to deal with.

 

I like the bling although I may remove the stickers off the side this spring.

 

Most leave a small cloth inside by the base of the seat belt to give a wipe in the area that rubs the back of the leg.

 

Looks great man I have the same sized tire with level 8 mk6 with a zero offset was wondering about rubbing with no lift. Do you off-road at all? Just wondering how it is off road

 

Thanks, I do use it all the time. Unfortunately I don’t have any faith in my dealer. I’ll see if it happens again and then investigate further. Thinking about it, the only unusual thing I did was reverse into the garage and then set the brake. Maybe I pulled it a bit early? Ahem

 

No rubbing so far. But I've only driven 60 miles with them on streets and freeways. I do go offroading so I'll know more next adventure.

 

Thanks! I haven't gone offroading with them yet, but I do go regularly so I'll know more soon. I've been told and read that they shouldn't rub, but we'll see. I do have a 1/2" leveling spacer for the front to give a 1" lift, just not set up tool wise to do myself so it's on the back burner for now.

 

How much did doing all that set you back if you dont mind me asking? I've been looking at possibly having those parts wrapped?

 

While waiting for the SnugTop Super Sport to arrive in another 2 to 3 weeks, I installed gen2 Running Boards. Looks good and they do help with door dings. Once the sungTop arrives I'm going to order the BedRug , Cali Raised Bed Molle Rear Panel and quick disconnect Fire Extinguisher. I still want the TRD Suspension Fox Shocks, but having problem ordering from Toyota.

 

I love the look of those side steps, they fit nice and snug up to the sill. I've always disliked the way the sill/frame look.

 

Wanted to go with the gen 3 model # PT767-35190 , but they would have been $300 more.

 

Personally I prefer yours, mind sharing the part number? The one thing I don't like about owning a DCLB is the small choice of wheel to wheel side steps.

 

Yes I really

like these but the are not wheel to wheel. Westin do these but by the looks of it they are huge!

 

Nice! I was thinking about using it for lumber, never thought about using it to transport my canoe! The power of many brains is Far Superior to someone who thinks he’s a pretty darn smart person


You made my day, thanks!
