What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Check your breather vent to make sure it is not clogged up, should be able to breath easy...

 

Are you sure the T-case has a breather? I know the 2 diffs have a breather, but I'm just not that familiar with this one.

 

I really like the new look. Wish they came from the factory like this. The rims have a decent look being all one color. I have noticed many cars following the machined painted two tone look. Not a fan but to each his own.

 

ECGS diff bushing and front diff fluid change complete. I’m whooped lol.

All that’s left is the transmission.

ETA: Oh shit…completely forgot the sliders are due back from powder coating any day now. And I have to install the Anderson manifold spacer that just came in from @K9tacoma (big thanks to him for an awesome transaction). Thought I was going to get a break.

 

Haha, I'm sure you are satisfied knowing you got it done right. How did the ECGS bushing go?

 

Took it to get pictures taken for the white paint recall. Should be getting a call back within the next month to drop it off for paint. Shop told me they are looking at a 9 day turnaround time for actual paint to be completed.

 

I was expecting much worse. Had to file down the removal tool a few times to get it to clear. Very glad it’s done though and I don’t want to have to do it again.

 

Well said. Congrats.

 

Raptor Lights exhaust an taillights today.

 

Finally got around to giving my truck a good hand wash to get all of this pollen off. Now it's no longer a slight shade of yellow!
One recent thing I did also was trade out those weak stock tires for a new set of Toyo Open Country AT3 which had a $100 rebate at the time luckily.

 

Took some more photos:

Removed all the factory speakers replaced with Infinity reference as well as a custom subwoofer box built by Marv. (Found Marv through these forums) Marv is the man his subwoofer boxes are very well made and sound awesome. Put 2 10" Infiniti DVC subs running at 1 ohm and my 30-year-old soundstream amp running all five channels. So nice cruising now with good tunes.

 

Agreed. I’m much more of a fan of this look. Two-tone wheels remind me of the somewhat short-lived trend of combining multiple shades of denim into one garment.

 

Got a deal on some OEM TRD PRO wheels and said what the heck! Might do the skinny 33’s soon…

 

I want those in bronze or dat color.. person i bought tail lights off of today had them in matte black.. but a buyer was comin. Im broke lol

 

I feel you man! I got these for $500. Some guy posted them on CL last night, he upgraded wheels on his 4Runner. I couldn’t say no to that price plus the tires.

 

Wow... awesome deal!!! They look well taken care of.. can u send a front end shot sometime those rims go for 800 around me with no tires 90% of the time.

 

this is the way.

 

Yes, for the most part, basically anything that has fluid/oil in it with moving parts has a breather vent, or it could/would build up to much pressure and cause leak(s)...

Go to reply number #17, thanks to Steventura86 for more details as to wear it is located... But pretty much always on top somewhere or fluid would leak out... lol
