What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks great!

 

just got done doing a quick wash of my truck. I need flaps bad!

 

Yeah, if you enjoy a ton of dirt and rocks and mud on the side of the truck I wouldn't put them on. I def have them

 

Installed license plate light delete in reverse harness from FBC ! Easy, and it works.

 

Installed the shift knob from @FreshMexicanTaco.

Super simple and done in about 10 minutes.

Adds 5hp….

 

You can get Deutsch connectors from Wirecare and other vendors. I like the OEM style and ease of assembly/ dish assembly.

new battery today. had a little scare after running some lights for just a few mins and since it was the battery from previous owner i decided to replace with one a dual purpose. i kinda wanted to go with the 27f group but its WAY larger then the stock tray so i went with this.

 

got the coastal offroad bumper welded up, off for box liner coating next.

 

Installed AFE Mach force 3” cat back exhaust. I will powder coat the tip myself. Was cheaper to purchase with chrome. Has a nice deep tone to it.

 

I just installed the Eibach 2.0 adjustable coilovers last weekend (another option if the TRD kit isnt available). The ride is firmer but really liking it so far. Now I get to do the ECGS bushing this weekend.

 

This is what I was referring too! I thought I had quoted my bad. I have the same set up but with JL audio amp.

 

Nice link, good to know for future reference.

 

Mine went on in February (w/ecgs), I have been really happy with them. After you swap the bushing you’ll probably want about 1/4” extra on Drivers side and it will be perfectly level side to side. I believe it’s about 8 turns IIRC. I kept adjusting until I liked it then measured the change (same height difference a 1/4” spacer would provide). They ride nice on my truck and have a winch and BA slimline bumper light bar etc.

 

Thank you!

 

I'm not looking forward to the ECGS bushing. Did your front settle any after a few hundred miles? I havent really noticed any taco lean yet, been driving the wifes car for work. I did order 1 inch blocks for the rear, also to be installed this weekend. Decided that I didnt want to go AAL since I'm not towing or hauling any heavy loads.

 

You could always go with a 3 leaf progressive AAL where you can remove the overload leafs (since you’re not towing), still have an inch or so of lift and excellent articulation.

 

Yep that’s what I did as well, had to cut down my Allen wrench to fit in and all is well!

 

After I got my super bumps installed got a Taco garage DMM installed , I had a hondo vent mount and that thing was solid but this gives me a little more choices.

 

Got that bakflip

 

Belated, but the other day I put in this prototype MagSafe charging mount from @FreshMexicanTaco Also swapped out the older plastic arm for one of the slick new aluminum ones. Highly recommend both! I posted more details in the main Taco Garage thread. Today I used it on a longer drive (3hrs) and having the magnetic mounting was so nice for when I needed to grab my phone quickly to make faceID work instead of having to fumble to put my passcode in.



Yesterday I finally got around to installing a Bakflip MX4 (buddies, @roboturner!) that I picked up for cheap way back in October or so. The weather has just been too miserable to put it on till now. Pics of that one later!
