What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Should have at least gone with an 08 and up c6 for the ls3 though. Also, the roof delaminates on the 05 c6's. Did you finish that factory five yet?

 

Used it like a truck after cutting and splitting some wood. Based on the amount of squat compared to the 1,100 pounds of concrete I had in it before, I'd guess the firewood tips the scales at about the same weight.... lol

 

Taco was undercoated with Fluid Film

 

How did it go? Planning on doing mine soon.

 

Tundra rack, bout an hour more of work tonight until its driving.

 

Pretty smooth! I’d been putting it off but I figured ‘why not’ while I have the time.. worst part is getting the axle out. A big flat head and a mini sledge made easy work of it though, it just took me a while before I tried that option lol. I also had the bushing in the freezer all day to try and help with install, not sure if it actually did anything but it went in fairly easily.

 

The piston-rod looks like one mm or two bigger diameter, and the whole unit looks bigger, will you need to replace the pump as well to enjoy any improved benefits of the tundra rack? Is it from Same year tundra as your truck?

 

Rod is 8mm bigger, housing is way larger/beefier, and this one has been modified to work in a Tacoma/pressure has been bumped up a bit. Stock pump still, and has more turning power so far on the first drive. But, will eventually get a high pressure pump to go with.

 

Thanks for posting. Could you let us know if you had to modify the steering shaft at all.

 

It was more about what I could get for a good cash price and the 08 and up were around 10k more to start. The roof on mine (clear plastic part) doesn't look the best but thats okay as it doesn't bother me. I am enjoying working on it, and having a car for once. Fun little project and I knew nothing about the corvette before buying this. Decided not to do the FF as the delivery was a year out from when I placed that order initially. AKA I still wouldn't start receiveing the parts until this upcoming December! Then finding the time to actually work on it given my schedule would be impossible.

 

Hahahaha!


But really is that a thing? who makes them?

 

Around 18 months ago people were all about the black sun visor screws. It really was a thing.

 

Yessir, made a new one out if solid bar stock about 1.5" shorter

 

Quick weekend campy trip out in the Rockies

 

Went out for mouse bait stations, came home with 4 new tacomas!

 

Upgraded my seat covers to the Rough Country neoprene covers. They fit great and look good.

 

one solution was a black permanent ink marker.

I think one that replaced the screws with black ones had them rust later.

 

Apparently I needed another ridiculous project today.

 

Got the Spiker hood struts installed. 7'' over the prop rod height. It's a shame the trucks don't come from the factory this way...
