What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

51 is cold here

 

thank you!

255/80/17 wild peaks on the runner trd pro wheels



OME 888s and Dakar’s with 5100s

 

Finished up the ironman foam cell pro installation and pumped in some new lucas diff oil to the front and back. Torqued it all down and went for a very happy test drive!!

Upcoming task is kicker speaker/tweeter swap + interior chrome delete.

 

Rotated the tires today.

 

New front bumper with light bar and warn winch! I’ve never altered any front bumpers of my trucks until now and I’m loving this look! Plus, had a Bakflip Tonneau cover put on the long bed!

 

I've got brand I'd not heard of prior. Had a decent tread design & had a 60k? (might have been 50k) warranty. I didn't rotate them any where near as often as I should so looking like one in particular will make it to 40k. That said, I don't do any wheeling but do deal with snow. No need for BFG KOs--had a set on my 1st gen and liked the look but didn't need them. At this point next tire priorities will be: 3 peak & longer warranty. Many folks have longer commutes than myself but @ 70mi/day tires go fairly quick and with no need for a true all-terrain I will go function over looks.

 

Looks good - what brand is the bumper?

 

What did you use for the plate? I could not get enough clearance with the bracket I ordered and had to edit it.

 

Gonna try a different approach with this one and thinking about a Military Matte Green for my Overland build. I'm liking the darker green. I'm thinking the hood will be matte black either way.

 

I think the dark with black would be awesome

 

Installed seat jackers today, then removed them cause they did jack shit for me. Shame cause I was looking forward to that little molle panel.

I experienced some slight numbing in my ass on a 2 hour long drive a few weeks ago, and thought maybe these would help. The most comfortable position I found with the 10-way seat (no seat jackers) is having the seat all the way down and the leg tilt all the way down, and bring the steering wheel as close to me as possible and as far down as possible. I’m 5’8” with a 30” inseam, and have no trouble seeing the edge of the hood and sit far enough away to reach the 12 o’clock position with my left hand comfortably.

The seat jackers made my situation worse. Sit too high, legs up high like I’m using a shitting stool, knees hitting the wheel. Hope I can do a return; it’s kinda hard to install them without getting some of the paint scratched.

 

I wish there was a 2.5 gen version of that RC truck file

 

Check out the pirelli scorpion all terrain tires. Had them on my gen 2 and will likely get them again when inbred new ones on my gen 3. I don't do any off roading either, mostly local and highway roads. They held up great

 

I got my truck rolling today. New 3 link rear suspension with 16” of travel.

 

Turned out awesome. Nice work.

 

Lol. You can see the path her mirror took as it broke off when she merged into me.

 

I was looking at tons of options for a fire extinguisher & mount for the bed of the truck and came by this on the Black Friday thread on here. Cheaper than a standard mount/extinguisher, and it’s mounted on a six dollar Quick Fist and better in just about every other way

I bought them too, to see if I could get more comfort like my '05 Tacoma. Did NOT like the front Jacked up that high.
So I removed them and then put washers in the back, (just for the hell of it)......NOPE....still not working....
Put a KICKER SUB & AMP under Passenger seat...(no clearance)
Put SEAT JACKERS On Passenger seat, Leveled back with washers................MONEY!!!!!

 

Got all my wheels re-balanced to perfection, they were slightly out of balance - not till bad vibrations, but to weird feeling. Now ride is really enjoyable!
