What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You have a link for that thread where those are sold? I didn't snag any back when and now I'm thinking I will.

 

Look up user "sphinxbccp" on here.

 

Added heat shielding to the exhaust reroute I had done recently. All ready for my RCI skids to come in!!

 

I'd go for it if I had seat covers but don't think I want to tackle installing them in the uncovered seats. Be my luck the fabric is glued to the foam.

 

Installed bed rack and an RTT. Thank god for helpful neighbours.

6.5 hours to assemble and install, what a pain in the ass but so worth it!

 

Now tell me you weren't shittin' your pants as that assembly got taller and taller! Have you actually driven it of that garage? Shit, that's tight!!!

 

Looks good Serge. Strata living sucks but not many affordable choices these days. Not much clearance in the underground parking lot once that RTT is on. Good neighbors helping while no Karen's bitching to strata is good. Enjoy your new lift, tent and ability to extend your range and days out exploring. Just need a nice location, camp fire, cold beer and little AIC in the background.

 

Bought a hood and hood scoop kit. Installed it at home, and waiting for a shop to paint it super white. Also replaced the grill with a TRD PRO grill.

Amazingly clean under there for a ‘16. Do you just use engine degreaser? Really need to clean mine; after Hollister Hills tomorrow

 

I saw this truck a few months ago on TW and interested to know what set up they have. Is that factory lift or maybe leveling kit? Or possibly more? If anyone can provide info on this picture I would greatly appreciate it. It looks amazing and that’s what I really want my truck to look like.

mine:


Picture I found:

 

Looks good black. Leave it that way.

 

Could be/probably wrong but it looks like a TRD Pro with the factory setup. They are one inch higher in front than the off-road.

 

Yeah I dig it black too.

 

Rear seat delete I’ve been working on. Time to work on adding accessories.

 

Thanks Les!

I’m really glad how it turned out, I’m only about 80% done though. Still gotta attach the ladder and tighten a bunch of bolts.

Yes strata living sucks big time but like you said, I had no choice. Prices are disgusting, you are fully aware haha. It’s what I could afford at the time and I’m just glad I’m not renting.

The truck is still under 7 feet so it’s not too bad. I wanted the RTT to be a bit lower but then I would have much less space in the back. My neighbour was super awesome and I owe him big time for helping me. He asked me to help him fix his laminate and I said anytime, I used to do floors for a living. And luckily yeah, nobody said a word. We used to have this cunt in the strata council and she made a lot of our life’s miserable, I even confronted her once, fun times. Since she left it’s pretty good here.

You nailed it on a nice location, campfire, beers and AIC in the background haha. I can’t wait man.

Nobody can see my stickers now though…

 

Wrapped a little strip of matte black vinyl around the chrome shifter ring. Not perfect but good enough for now. Probably good enough that I'll forget about it and never bother upgrading to an actual black ring.

 

Agreed, the black looks great.

 

Swapped out the chrome trim on the grille for black trim. Also added MESO's headlight trim.

 

I think I kinda dig it in black. You gonna make the scoop functional or is it just an aesthetic choice?

 

Need some help…. Anyone do the viper cut with 265/17/70 tires on stock suspension? I’m waiting till I need new tires todo and lift and get 33” but really want todo the viper cut. If anyones has done this on a 3rd gen before bigger tires and lift lmk and post pics if possible. Here’s some pics of my truck. Thanks.
