What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Love the clean easy install from redarc.

 

It's a 40" light bar with a sherpa mount. Doesn't overhang on the front too much but it works well. Best picture i have on my phone right now of the side.

 

Did you use this bracket by any chance??

ah, ok, got it. thanks.

 

I wrapped my shifter trim in a forged carbon wrap, I was planning on wrapping my Sport fender flares with the same material, but do you guys think this wrap would look too busy on the exterior fender flares?

 

Everybody has there own taste and what makes them happy, so if you like it, go for it... Worst case, tape a piece to the fender and step back and see what you think...

Remember, it's your vehicle, your money and your decision...

My guess, you will gets lots of yes's and lots of no's... lol

 

I think it would look rice if we're being honest.

 

Check out the Tundra Pro/Hybrids fender flares and decide for yourself! Toyota put some carbon wrap on a handful of trim pieces like fender flares, front grille, tailgate spoiler thing, etc. I say go for it.

 

Reminds me of the 4wps ones

I just looked on the website and it seems they bought all of 4wps stuff and just rebranded it

 

Interesting. Hoonigan owned both Smittybuilt and 4WP. They sold off 4WP in bankruptcy

 

If you don’t want the branded external bracket and would prefer thicker parts hit up Kwikvette

 

The "vintage" part is rad. I had one of these I inherited from my grand parents. Powder Blue. It did not perform remotely close to a more modern cooler and was murdered by a bear in Lake Tahoe. I hope yours works better than mine did and is not murdered by a bear.

 

Attempted to externally seal the timing cover leak by removing the power steering pump and placing RTV over the offending area. Fairly easy repair to at least attempt. Hopefully it will at least slow down the leak somewhat. In hindsight I should have replaced my serpentine belt during the process so I’ll do that again in the near future and pull the PS pump again to check how my repair is holding up.

 

No just the redarc one off of Amazon

 

Doing the external rtv repair for mine soon too. Been procrastinating. Seems folks have had good results doing this. Fingers crossed for ya.

 

I procrastinated all week that I’ve been off but finally got around to it today. It’s not too difficult just take your time and clean well. I’m not positive it will completely eliminate the issue but should make at least a minor improvement.

 

Leveled her out today. Fox 2.0 all around. The front coil overs were super easy and took no time at all. The rears…….. THE DEVIL. That bottom bolt alignment deserves a special place in Hell. Oh well, they are installed and the she looks good. Test drive was successful and a noticeable improvement over the stock TRD OR. Next step will be wheels and tires as the current wear down.

 

Dude for real. I thought I fucked up when I did mine because the holes didn't line up. You have to almost angle the block in there diagonally then let the weight of the rear end straighten her up. Had me worried for a sec

 

On that note, installed some blacked out lights. Probably the worst picture in existence I'll get a better one later

 

Retrofit as well? #pleasesayyes
