What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have the same one. Holding up well in the Texas heat. I condition it every other wash to prevent fading. 7 months in and it still looks new.

 

Install the light strip with Velcro, that way if you need to access the spare tire, unplug and take off. I put the Opt7 on my '16 several months ago and has stayed perfectly in place.

With the help of a friend and a neighbor, we got my Westcott Designs rock sliders installed Sunday.

It was a beautiful day to do it too. Nice breeze, a little sunshine, not too hot not too cold.




I am ready to go play in the mountains this weekend! ⛰️

 

Yessss. Did you do the drill-thru bolt too?

Got an OME Heavy Duty 2 - 2.5 inch Lift with Icon Rebound SLXs. Running Geolander G015s and they are far quieter than the stock tires. Feels great to drive.

Just waiting on my rock sliders and 12 weeks for new steel high clearance rear bumper.

 

Changed out the dang outer tie rod end. Torn boot!
PSA: pickle forks are best used for the pickle jar only. Spend the money to buy the tie rod puller tool

 

New wheels and tires from my friend who went aftermarket on his new 2023.

 

that part was fun. I had to call a machine mechanic neighbor to come drill those out. But we got it.

 

Was doing an oil change a month ago and noticed oil/grease on the bottom of both tie rod boots. Cleaned everything up really good and checked again last week - still leaking (pretty small, tho). Brought it in and they are replacing the steering rack/gear, both outer tie rod ends, fluid flush and alignment. All covered under my extended warranty which expires in 8 months (easily paid for itself x2). Stock suspension and no real hard wheeling. 38,000 on the clock.

 

Lots of stuff in the past couple days…
-Westcott Designs lift kit
-Method wheels with 33” NEW BFG KO3 tires
-Bed cover (Access Original)
-Baja Designs S2 Pro ditch lights w/Cali raised brackets
-Ceramic tint all around
-Meso bits inside out
-R4T differential skid plate
-Bille bars tailgate panel
-N-Fab trail sliders
-K&N intake tube and filter
-J&L Oil catch can
-Spiker Hood struts
And idk what else hahaha

Up next is Icon RXT leaf packs to swap out the rear lift blocks.

 

@bimmerlev those are some fantastic mods! Love the wheel and tire package! Your truck is our favorite color. Good job!

 

Ha! Took a sec... SF!

 

Bought my lease
Detailed the interior

 

Is the engine salvageable?

 

Make a good amount selling the stuff, just gotta take it off. Fenders, bumper, grill, heck even the antenna for someone who wants to do a mod for their roof rack.

 

I've finally got in the MESO doorhandles, so now I've got an almost entirely blacked out interior, aside from the Toyota badge on the steering wheel

 

If your truck isn’t that dirty but you want that cleaner feel just do your wheels and nothing else…

 

Lookin' Good

 

Nice pictures, they make it look you really can have fun in New Mexico.

 

Looks great! I like those wheels
