What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Got these in today hopefully have everything installed by Tuesday

 

My fabricator buddy built me a tire carrier. I helped slightly lol.

Pics to come after paint

 

Thanks! I just picked up some 1/4” carriage bolts in the shortest length I could find at the hardware store and slid them into the channel of the rack.

 

I went with the Millercat.

30 minute install in 100 degree weather using a jack to hold it up while I mounted it. No drilling, it just bolts on.

 

I actually had to trim the threads to get enough space to thread them in.

 

Does the gas cap holder stick in with double sided tape or slide behind the metal of the door?

 

I have the liftdcustoms one, the owner is on TW. It's great and held on by the screw on the fuel door.

RCI finally sent me my sliders

 

I read that Toyota charges as much as $1200 to replace a condenser, and then I read some threads here of people doing their own and it isn’t hard to do- so while checking out the tube to see how, I ran into one of a guy showing how to repair a pinhole leak (like mine) with solder and you don’t even have to take it off the truck! I borrowed a vacuum pump and gauges from a neighbor and got to work yesterday. It’s holding a full vacuum after several hours, so I think I fixed it! Only test now is recharging it and seeing what happens…. The only expensive part of the repair is the refrigerant- $120 for the 19oz or so that it will need (R1234yf).

 

Yep.

 

Over the last month. Airraid snorkel with the syklone pre filter, adapter courtesy of @AdrenaliNate, WarFab front bumper and Zeon 12s winch. Fairlead required a bit of trimming but it fits perfect now. Just got back from a weeks vacation in VA. Hit up bald eagle Jeep trail / big levels. Took 162 from coal road to the blue ridge parkway. Fun trail, if pinstripes make you angry I’d stay off it though

 

Love the bumper waiting for them to start taking orders again

 

Really like how clean it is, and easy to install. I had it for about 6 months before I just made time to finally install it. Never enough time with everyone else’s stuff!

 

We also just got back from a trip to Virginia. Installed a new bumper and winch combo right before we left, another 200lbs. Averaged a little over 17mpg! Last trip we did, we averaged 10… 6th gear pulled with no effort. Thanks again @PapaRee and @TWTaco for incredible work on these tunes!

 

Adding foam padding to the door panel:

 

Got some fab work done by Milogen Fabrications in Milipitas CA, highly recommend if you're in the bay area. Top notch CMC, JD Fab Double sheer steering kit, and AllPro Offroad Spindle Gussets. All prep on the journey to fit 35s!

 

Hit 100k.

 

are you open to sharing the file?

 

Friggin' Awesome front plate!

And your Tacoma isn't too shabby either.

 

I will have to think about it.
