What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Threw on a set of 4WP sliders.

 

Thanks for your reply, I might order the bronze ones for my OR wheels

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the takeoffs?

 

Sweet! Welcome to TW!

 

I typically break them loose and give them a few turns before slipping a long piece of heater hose down the rabbit hole. The bore self centers the hose over the spark plug, and heater hose is stiff enough to push on easily. Then unscrew and remove, reinstall is just as easy with a hose.

 

Finished the auxbeam install just need the dash piece to come in to put the switch in. Also started bumper build but waiting until tomorrow to take my time cutting the stock bumper off.

 

New Falcons on with Icon AAL.


Rear done, now to start on the front.

 

I just changed out the grille. Other than fog lights and new wheels, this is the only cosmetic change that I wanted to do. I was going to hold off for a '24 PreRunner, but the wait, dealership markups, missing rear doors and price tag on the 4th Gen made this mgm '23 SR V6 irresistible.

Last weekend I did the VLEDs VTails V6 Triton tail light conversion. Awesome! This is how Tacomas should come from the factory. I love the amber turn signals and "don't hit me" brake lights, and the backup lamps are pretty good for switchback bulbs. I also did a simple LED 3rd brake light and wired in a brake controller module.


BTW, the oil stains are from a previous tenant.

 

yep. Took it out to a trail in the back yard and works great. Going to see how long they will last

I hope it's a god upgrade and not just TRD hype. My understanding is the newer FOX models have 1.5" lift vs 1" on the earlier models. The Eibach gave me 2" so I'm ok with the chg, can also add the Westcott later.

 

Asking for a friend, how did you bend it back, it looks like it would take a lot to bend it in the first place. Like if you tried to pull a basketball post out of the ground.

 

I know they are on the 4Runners, but unsure about the Taco's. They definitely could be. I know I'm about 1.7" lifted up front with my ADS coilovers and my Pro buddy has the Westcott lift on his and we're about the same height. The specifics don't really matter tho as long as it looks good and rides/handles well.

 

This.

 

Nice! I love that setup! One of my favorites I’ve seen so far… I’m still running ridge grapplers and love them but damn those are so badass

 

Thanks. Yeah these are really great not only in mud but getting over obstacles they’re super sticky when aired down. Plus they look good doing it.



Took this for reference of the improved articulation with the sway bar delete.

 

I have been using Rain-X windshield washer fluid for about 4-5 years now. Really sheds water. I can drive at highway speeds in moderate rain and not use my wipers. Also in the past I just added Rain-X to existing washer fluid with the same results.

 

Added some eye liner to seal up the engine bay further. I cannot stand a messy engine.

 

I learned a lesson when I was a kid. My dad told me, “never lend anyone your truck.”
