What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just got my taco weighed. 4760lbs with half a tank of gas! Gheesh she’s heavy

 

I weighed mine at the dump at 4780, half tank of gas and no people in it.

 

Must have some of the same mods because that’s how I weighed mine. Got me curious to see what others truck weigh

 

for context; sliders from Cali raised, method 305’s, bilstein full suspension, tonneau cover, bed mat, and fluffy dice on the mirror.

 

For me it was aluminum rear bumper, full sound deadening, subwoofer, aluminum steps, bed mat and a broken vacuum in the back (They wouldnt take the vacuum)

The fluffy dice really kill the MPG.

 

Got some new falcon offroad T9's wrapped in Cooper Discover AT3s. Along with some new rek gen mudflaps. Had to ditch the oem ones due to a slight rub.

 

Added Tacomods regular size knurled backlit radio knobs. Nice upgrade from the slick tiny OEM knobs, now I don’t have to think so much to force my numb fingers to operate the knobs.

 

Got my big brake kit going on this weekend and got sick of looking at my rusty factory drums.

Used VHT engine enamel (high heat) in satin black. One can easily did three coats.

Prep was wire wheel, air gun blowout, brake cleaner, masking tape.

Turned out great, hope it holds up.

 

Just picked up my truck from the shop. Had the RC 3 1/2” lift installed. Still riding stock wheels and tires until the tires need replacing. I’m really happy with this lift. Lower pic is the “before” … bad lighting.

 

Washed mine today and over the last week added vent shades and a hood deflecter. Basically keeping it stock

 

added more L track onto the top of my diamondback cover

 

Looks great! I need to do this soon. Can I ask why you used two floor jacks and not just one in the middle of the pumpkin? Just curious looks like it might be a tandem job with a buddy on the other side? Thanks

 

i feel safer using two. If you only have one well I get it. It’s still a single person job with two jacks, you just have to move around a few extra times. Jackstands always too.

 

Shoved a pool noodle between Cab and bed. It was more tedious than I thought.
I did cut the noodle about 1/4 vertically

Test drive tomorrow and use my calibrated ears to test for noise reduction.

 

I used my Jackery 500 for a 5 night trip this week, but I was moving everyday and it would charge as i drove. To be honest, it would of lasted 3 days without driving, I also have the

$239 Jackery 100w Portable Solar Panel for Explorer 240/300/500/1000/1500 Power Station, Foldable US Solar Cell Solar Charger with USB Outputs for Phones (Can't Charge Explorer 440/ PowerPro)

Jackery 100w solar panel, which would solve any problems if running low on juice!!

 

Ordered a smittybilt RTT XL gen 2 from Morris 4x4, who btw, have excellent customer service and delivery was way faster than expected. So thank you to them. Delivery driver AND slip said 500lbs (smh) for the record its 137lbs. Set up was a breeze and I'm making new tracks, however for the bed rack I built. More pics to come of interior and annex is getting Ordered soon.

 

Spent some time around northern New Mexico, but its never for long enough

 

you asked wrong person but yes....the large size
