What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Had the new tires mounted up!

 

The snail armor tailgate insert is nice and flat, but i still dont want to kneel on it. So i added a 1/4 inch piece of rubber over the top. Way better. Couldnt do that with the stock insert, too wavy.

 

I dont have any experience with vinyl cover. It wasnt terribly difficult. Only time consuming.

 

Etsy. Seller is "Tacos4cheap". Really impressed with the quality. I recommend.

 

Mud on the tires this past weekend! Four days of me, the pup, the mountains and open sky...

 

It helps this retard remember to put higher octane gas in.

 

Registered the Lexus credit card key using Toyota Techstream. Process takes less than 5 minutes.

 

Turned out great!

 

finally picked up my 21 Voodoo blue today...no huge updates just some minor badging, interior stuff & TRD heritage grille.

 

Washed it!

 

Eliminated the rub from my new 285/70/17 KO2's on stock suspension and wheels with +12 offset.
Removed the air dam

Removed front mud flaps


Did a little trimming of the front bumper cover and relocated the fender liner bolt forward a bit.

What was trimmed off:

 

Our trucks are almost twins. I've been leaning toward getting M/T's. Was torn between sticking with Nitto and switching to Trail Grappler M/T but was torn between those and the Toyo Open Country M/T. Now I need to add Yokohama to the list. Anyone out here have a solid preference?

 

Cooper sst, wore like iron in 35in size on my Xterra, and they performed well offroad.

 

Great, one more tire.

A good write up on them there https://****************/2021/04/02/cooper-stt-pro-vs-cooper-evolution-mt/

I live in North Georgia where wet clay is prominent and extremely slick. I wonder if that would be more synonymous to ice/snow and in that case the Evo M/T might be better.

I'll have to post this over in the GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread as well.

 

Thoae coopers also are siped, helpsnin wet weather, and snow, bit you dont have snow.

 

The sport comes with 265/65-17 tires. That’s what I ended up getting in a KO2. I wish I would have gotten 265/70-17 instead. Oh well. These have a few miles left on them then I’ll go 275/70-17 I think. Good luck!

 

I ran 70's before my lift, and put 1.25" spacers on. I loved the look, they cleared the UCA (without the spacer), only rubbed at full compression / lock in a turn, and looked pretty good.

Pre-lift wit spacers.

 

Formerly from MI, where clay and ice coexist, they can be equally treacherous. I don't miss either of them.

 

Installed these that were purchased on Prime day, such an easy install it felt like taking candy from a baby. Huge improvement over not having any lights in the bed

 

Apparently the dealer added 10 pounds when they replaced the fuel pump and flashed the ECU to the latest tune.
I wonder if I can get a new sticker that subtracts for the air dam I took off after the "mods" they did?


Edit: I wonder if I can justify a re-gear to the wife now?
