What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just finished installing my SpartanX HoodScoop light. Will try it out tonight. More pics/vid to come.

 

Pulled the trigger this morning and local dealer had in stock! Got a better deal than ordering online ! 398 OTD. Gonna install within hour .

 

Tbh you don’t even notice. Well I don’t at least and I’m pretty ocd about truck stuff lol

 

beat you by $2

 

Finally changed my transmission fluid to mt-90

 

haha darn

 

Sorry man, had to, lol.

 

The 275/70-17s have been getting a little rub on the front mud flaps at full lock so popped them off. Really need to have the alignment redone and wheels shifted forward, but since at the current stance 1/4" is about all I can get with out causing rub at the front I pulled the coilovers and had a local shop move the clip up one notch. Took it from 2.5" to just over 3". Will run it around for a week and then have the alignment redone. Still about 1 degree lower in the front so I'm good with how it's sitting.

 

Give us an update on how you like it, any differences from stock.

 

What size is that pad?

 

It stays well. But I can't get it to shake. Lol . Tried wrapping the emblem the other week but it's not something I can do with my skill. So a little satin paint and the left over vinyl made this. I may explore wrapping the entire grill minus the the emblem and trim at a later date. Happy now though.

 

That's crazy that your rubbing. Seems like a lot are running 285's without rub after installing the Eibach kit and 2.5" inches

 

I was way too tired to install my steps last night but since it only took about 20 minutes, I probably should have just sucked it up.



Now I just need N-Fab to send me a couple of rubber plugs that were missing.

 

Yeah. Went though the effort to put SPA UCAs on it and the shop didn't think to check for rub and adjust accordingly (though I left the SPA instructions on the seat). Not going to beat them up too bad as they're a great shop that I use regularly and I don't think they get many lifted Tacos. But I will be pointing out they need to be a little more attentive.

EDIT.. Also the Spidertrax may be playing a part in this as well, And they'll only be on till I can get new wheels that are offset more than the sport OEMs.

 

Picked this up today, seems like a necessity with how some people drive. Just waiting on my rearview mirror dongle to arrive and a short mini usb. Tested the quality and it seems pretty good.

 

Nice!

I’ve had mine about 2 1/2 years and it still works perfect. Still one of my favorite mods. A few months after I got mine he came out with stealth bars but I still love mine.

 

Much better than stock! I’ll probably powder coat down the line. TRD skid rubbing off on me.

FYI one of dealers told me TRD items going on sale in 2 days, could also be BS. I didn’t want to wait especially since had skid in stock .

 

Looks great.

I'm looking at the Dakine PickUp Pad DLX, yours is a size small correct?

 

Installed mat, extender, lighting, and cover. All for the short bed. Also the gas cap hanger......
