What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I chose the light to mild throttle setting. I felt like it was perfect for daily driving. Also, having the ect button essentially allows me to have a sport mode.

 

Why not just put your tools in the back of the truck or on the floorboards?

 

Six in one half a dozen in the other. Like I said I've got a 6mt so I didn't need it.

 

I got to put my upper control arm back together, ha. I was good all weekend and front end of the week. Went out for lunch yesterday and this happened. Found the nut from the upper control arm had worked itself free. Nut, both washers, sleave, and the outer bushing were all gone (I have JBA's.) Found all but 1 washer in my engine bay and skids. Thankfully it happened just a block from my house and I limped it home and fixed it. Why aren't those lock nuts? smh

Hi there guys!

Looking for insight for a good shock set up for work, i drive on your washboard and caliche roads every day for work, and wanted to see if anyone knows of a good brand and set up for this kind of work, I’ve seen a user in the forum that has been mentioned a couple of times @Crikeymike selling dobinsons, but have no idea where to start looking

TIA

 

Glad you are ok, and sorry for your loss.

 

The amount of loctite I put on that bolt was ridiculous out of fear of this happening.

 

Nah, it's just "stanced" now.

 

If anyone is interested, part number for the lock nut is 90080-17217, and thats from Toyota. About $4, smh.

 

Have you tried just airing down your tires first? I do that on all my fire roads in AZ and it helps a ton. Might be worth a test before spending a bunch of money on suspension.

 

@shaggy135
Thanks! I will try it, maybe down to 25psi? But I’m also looking for a set up because i don’t know how much the stock hitachi shocks will last out here, i drive very conservative on the lease roads <20mph hoping i might not hurt them too much

 

Also have the Light/Mild OTT setting for my daily. Couldn't be happier. My experience:

If you're going less than 20mph you can easily air down to 15psi. It makes a huge difference on washboards.

 

I usually go down to 18psi. On board air comes in real handy too.

 

ANYONE INSTALL DOOR EGDE GUARD, WHERES THE BEST PLACE TO PURCHASE IT, MY WIFE DINGED MY DRIVERS DOOR, NOW I NEED TO HIDE THE EDGE SCRATCH.

 

Nice work.
Yep, always fun to create!

It wouldn't have helped you to slide the cans from the front of the bed to the rear (I thought I once saw that was your expectation). But, had you left two of the straps (on ONE side, same side) longer, you could have bolted this holder to your bed rail (for security).
Just a suggestion of course. Something to maybe consider when you build a second one. lol

You still can add on extensions. I did it after-the-fact.
