What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

seems that a field for experiments cause i installed drop kit and vibration gone.

 

Looking nice. was it hard to install? did you need to drill holes? what hood struts did you use?

 

Im at 200 000 km on mine. Changed pads about 100 km ago.
Will do a full swap again to all new OEM this winter.
About 25 000 of that is towing last 5 years.

 

Wondered if it changes the sound of exhaust cutting off a few feet? (In a negative drone kinda way)

 

@steve1503 is that a steering wheel heater button I see??

 

@WaitingOnMyR1T how are you liking it? Not too bright or too dim? Worth the investment? Looks good!!!

 

@tmcarpen dude this is awesome I have the exact same issue. Mind if I copy you? Imitation is the best form of flattery they say lol any chance I could get a copy of that file to print it?

 

It is. I've used it once. Nice.

 

Is this the part/product you are referring to?

No drilling, easy install. I used the Sokietech from Amazon. Around 50 bucks and watched the RobbMotiv video for the install. They seem to function well, seen a lot of good reviews on here.

 

That is the carrier bearing drop kit, which is what I tried first. It improved things slightly, but the vibration was still there and my driveshaft angles were still off. I removed that and added these: https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/store/p119/Axle_Shims_-_(2_degree_to_4_degree).html

The first thing you want to do is check your angles to see how far off they are. Here is a video explaining it:

hmmm......i wonder how it rides

 

Rides pretty well considering no load rn, trying to figure out the compression/rebound settings for my usage. Still going through the research process for armor and winch, I plan to have it fully built by spring. There’s so much cool stuff out there it’s almost overwhelming.
