What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Simple tests but on point!

 

The way I look at is like this: the extra few cents I spend (Alberta...about .30 cents per litre more) that's the pack of smokes I don't smoke...so do I get tempted by cheap gas...nope. I'm happy knowing that with premium fuel (Top tier, E0) and top engine oil, top diff oil...got no choice but stay with Toyota's own tranny oil (when time comes) ...I should have a very dependable vehicle. That theory applied and continues to apply because it works for me.

 

Shell premium is best

 

I used 50' of steel galvanized cable and a couple of the wire clamps from home depot for $25. But this is only to protect the secondary less valuable cat,The plate is covering the more valuable one, If you have the v-6 engine, the Talons Garage plate will cover all your cats, easy install no drilling into the frame like other options on the mkt

 

Finished up my suspension and got an alignment today. Eibach Stage 1, SPC UCA’s and an Icon AAL. Handles and drives so much better than the stock off road suspension.
Been raining all day so no glamour shots. Thanks to Tandem Offroad for helping me sort everything out.

 

Does it interfere with accessing the spare tire?

 

Steel cable would rust out fast up in the rust belt. Stainless would be worth the extra$

 

When you say handles and drives better what do you mean exactly ?

 

It has a more firm ride…
doesn’t dive when braking, much less bounce on rough roads, just overall feels like a more comfortable ride.

 

Something I've wondered about. The CC gets hot as hell, is it a good idea to cover it up and restrict airflow? A stolen cat is better than a burnt Taco, right?

 

Likewise, brother! I was there in ‘97 too but by then it was the norm and I stopped paying much attention.

 

Can anyone please confirm if this is the cargo light connector? Aka the bed light switch.
I have a SR with no switch, trying to make sure i locate the connector before I buy the switch.

 

Looks correct it's the one on the left in my picture.

 

Awesome. Thank you.

 

Just ordered a Dashtop Multi Mount from Taco Garage. Need a place to park my phone and Garmin GPS.

 

Hell yea, stand apart!

 

Steel doors are welded in, now to do the inside of the cargo compartment and the dog kennels.

 

Ordered a personalized license plate!, first ever. Honoring a place back in the old country...memories never die!

Do the wheels rub at all at -25 offset with a 3/2 lift?
