What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

SSO Hybrid Tube Bumper, tried to make my build as light as I could. This one checked the boxes and is only about 70lbs.

 

Thanks for the peer pressure.

Skid plate ordered.

 

We are all waiting for the weekly photos we requested...

 

Thanks!

Not sure about actual lift numbers, I'm guessing around 1.5" up front, 2" out back. Waiting for the back to settle more once I get some weight in it, then I will lower the fronts about another turn. 10mm or so lower to keep focus on ride quality and driving dynamics.

Suspension is Fox 2.5 DSC's from Accutune.
Icon RXT Leaf Pack, Option 1
Tires are 285/75/17 Ridge Grapplers, 34" tire.

 

Finally received my sliders from RCI yesterday. Ordered March 7th; time flies. Didn’t realize how long ago I ordered lol. Thanks for the install pro tip!

 

I hate palm trees. It is what it is though

 

FYI the long bolts are for the two that go from the included bracket into the frame through the slider, I was confused by that in the directions- good luck took me about 1.5 hrs by myself with a tranny lift

 

Super easy to reach it with a skid.

 

Sorry for the delay. I had a septic issue and I have been busy with pvc and drain snakes.
They are SCS 16” with -10 offset. I searched the heck out of this site to try to determine if I would rub but it was inconclusive at best. I rubbed the flaps more than I wanted and still touch in an off camber downhill turn. I don’t off road so I’m comfortable with the rub until I decide to level the truck. I guess everyone’s results will vary.
This is likely more info than you wanted but it may answer the question for others.

 

Not today but finally got around to taking pictures today. Installed the Meso puddle pods and the VLED foot well lighting. Both are a lot more convenient than I had anticipated. Especiallywhen heading to work at 4 am.

 

Took advantage of a mulch sale and loaded up the Tacoma with 25 bags!

 

They are the Rigid Chase lights. I don’t think they make them any more since coming out with the chase bar (I could be wrong) but I’ve seen them online still. Depending how you wire them, they have a running light, brake light, bed light, reverse light and a strobe function. Unfortunately the video wouldn’t load so I have to convert it to a gif and it slowed it down. But you get the idea. Personally I like the look of the chase bar a little bit better but that’s just my opinion.

 

Finally changed my own oil. When taking off the oil filter housing this happened.

By some miracle I was able to get it off with a final "fuck you" wrench pull despite missing the fin on this side.

 

Washed the truck today after basically living on the beach for the weekend. Caught some small stripers and sand sharks. No keepers. Buddy has his line chewed off by a blue fish. Great weekend.

 

Like them. Very stout but a PITA to install. Ties in on all the same ways but a bit different lateral load path than others

 

They are gonna mess up the solar stuff real bad. And they’ve shut down a nuclear plant so that they could reopen it.

 

man now that is a kick ass weekend! Thanks for sharing!

 

It really was. No wife, no kids and no responsibilities except for watching the poles and yelling “fish on!”

 

Lomax bed cover and a step

 

swapped 3.0 to 2.5's
