What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Today I had the electric tailgate lock installed and the bed extender. That about wraps up the updates for now.

 

255/85/r16s on stock wheels are fantastic just terrible in ice

I just put on the Supreme Suspensions Pro Billet 1.5” spacers on all 4 corners

Desperately trying to find a reputable site that has the eibach pro lift in stock, as the spacers are now causing the tires to rub, but all the well known sites are back ordered

Stock wheels now have covers on them for aesthetics, I see no need for new wheels unless I’m going to a true headlock and I really don’t need beadlock

added ditch lights with brackets

I wired a compressor to the stock bedside compartment and have the switch and connection on the side of the bed to make it easier to use and air up and down. Not too difficult and this compressor fit inside perfectly and has a little extra room still. Going to finish caulking and sealing the connections and paint to match the bed

 

With stock tires? Is it something that a heat gun will work out?

 

See previous posts. I put on 17x8.5 rims and toyo a/t iii 265/70/17 tires on. I need to dig around the threads on trimming/cutting and see what my options are. Heat gun might give me enough wiggle room.

 

Thank you!! I was wondering what to do about that..

 

Thanks I will find out tomorrow what 16x8 with 265/70/16 tires do. I’m hoping the 1/2” on my 16’s will be the difference. It seems that every Tacoma is different. I just don’t understand why.

 

This is the 26th coolest thing I have ever seen!

Well done.

 

My Bubba Rope still smells, one year out.

 

Custom boots, because why not?

 

I was wondering if you were on here after seeing your post on reddit

 

This was something someone suggested here on TW for the garmin mini. I've got a new camera ordered myself, but haven't ordered this yet.

Very nice work!

 

Thanks, but the more I read up about it I think the adhesive will stick well to the frit, and the frit will hide a lot of the camera.

 

Still trying to catch up on this thread and just saw this. If it hasn't been posted yet check with @CBoy808 here. He does great custom work and will help you come up with a design if you have some ideas of what you would like. Love mine and good luck.

Today I discovered that the dealer sold me the wrong oil filter...

After draining the oil and removing the old one..

One digit difference. FML

Fortunately I had an alternate ride and O’Reily had the correct filter.

 

Relocated my rear reservoirs to a frame mount instead of mounted to the shock, e brake cable kept rubbing on them and the clearence was pretty tight between the tire and the leaf spring at full flex.

Also mounted my Hi Lift to the bedrack as I could never keep it strapped down good in the bed, always ended up flying around when rallying.

 

The important thing with removing the mirrors is that they are above like 70 degrees F. I cannot emphasis how important that is to anyone replacing the stock mirrors. Seriously, like do it on an 80 degree day in the afternoon. I did the first one of mine and it was in the mid 60s and a clip broke. did the next one one a warmer day and no issues, use a heat gun or hair dryer first to warm up if unsure.

Completely and utterly the most insanely stupid mod I've ever done so far. But - seat pulls. For $28 - and that's a complete rip-off from Toyota.
