What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

OOOO, Too bad they dont make one to replace the trash liners in the rear. Mine have warped and dont fit right, they started warping at 20k and are just getting worse.

 

May I ask why? I’m pretty torn on the looks of them tbh, but depending on price I may be interested.

 

Driving it a week, it feels like it holds 4th and 5th gear a little longer. The transmission feels a little smoother as well.

 

I can think of a few downsides (besides a change in muffler exhaust loudness detected in the cabin because where the sonic energy is directed):
a). The exit gasses are too close to the tire, I'd expect it to damage the spare tire.
b). The exit gasses are trapped by the underside of the vehicle and could concentrate causing injury to the occupants. When idling there's a pretty large trapped volume for collection.
c). Possible decrease in horsepower because of a change in backpressure to the engine.

 

Threw on some seat covers. The imperfections will come out after the sun hits them and warms them up. The stitching is pretty close to Blazing Blue Pearl.

 

Just got done plugging my tire and driving around for a bit.

Things I’ve learned:

Took 30 minutes to jack up, remove tire, plug, reinstall, torque, pump tire, clean up

After I got done, I realized there was no reason to remove the tire or jack up the truck. I could have just turned the wheel outside and did the repair.

The actual repair part took about 3 minutes and was very easy to do. Pull out nail, make hole bigger (that’s what she said), plug, pump, done.

Live and learn. Next time should be quick.

 

I'm glad you took this route. Its easier than one expects, and you discovered the same. It's nice to save a $100.00+ tire in your spare time, right?

 

I mounted a different option that I liked.
Make an offer

 

Got the KDMAX 9.0 tune today. Drives like a different truck. Highly recommended. Thanks Kaleb with Lonestar Yota Tuning!!

 

I parked it in a scenic spot.

 

Been doing some reading on that. Hearing it is a night and day difference.

 

Easy day today. Did an oil change and installed the

$38 Fumoto f133s with LC-10 S-Series Large Body FUMOTO® Valve with Short Nipple and LC-10 Lever Clip for 12mm-1.25

Fumoto f133s.

 

Gas cap holder.

 

Been doing a lot, but I suck at updating by build thread. Here's the most recent big project!
(More stuff added to my build thread, link in the signature)

 

TRD lift kit. Kept my Trail Edition grille though. Heritage grille will be FS soon.

 

Very nice job!

 

Thanks. That was scarier than jumping out of a plane with a dude strapped to my back lol

 

Yeah I can't imagine cutting into a perfectly good hood!

 

Man I’m so stuck between the KDMax and the OTT.. leaning OTT but I’m sure they’re very similar

 

And here I am buying different hoods and shit looks sick!
