What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I love the old IMQ infinity speakers. I still have my 10 inch ones like that too.
How well do they fit behind the seat? looks like they fit actually pretty decent.

 

I see it in his video. Now, to figure out how to remove/inspect the breather. I think I need this inspection, maybe a breather replacement.

 

Well, fudge. My lower shock bolts from 303 shock services were supposed to be delivered today. USPS claims they put it in the mailbox, but it's not there.

 

Man that sucks! Hopes it shows up soon.

 

I hear ya, I got my Pro grill in last Monday after the just 2 days shy of a month (total time) waiting for one part to show up and well, the corner of the box was damaged/opened and the 2 small parts were missing (fell out), the grill was/is good, but the Taco Suskit Bracket for $1.61 and the back ordered Front Bumper/Grille For Cap/Connector Housing for $10.80 were both missing, I'm just glad the grill is OK, didn't even report the other 2 parts were missing, right now in my life, not even worth the effort to deal with it... lol

 

Not Taco related, but blown seals are a big risk with tractors that are equipped with MFWD (mechanical front wheel drive). Lots of aftermarket kits for those that want breathers/vents.

 

Love this decal! Where did you get it?!

 

Let me know what you guys think. Not terrible for a broke 17 y/o imo

 

Finally got to swapping out the needle bearing for the ECGS bushing. I "knew" it was the problem, but the idea of breaking into everything felt a bit nerve wracking.
All done, all bolted back up. Did a full front diff oil change with factory Toyota fluid. The vibes are gone. Feels so good to have that sorted out now. You could see the weird wear pattern on the drive shaft. Old needle bearing will be a nice desk paperweight now.
Took off my winters and put on my factory rims/KO2's. Did the rear diff breather tube, and put on Demon front D-Ring/shackle brackets.

Just so you know those shackle brackets are just for looks or towing your truck out of a mall parking lot.
If you attempt a high energy recovery with them you run the very real risk of ripping them off.

 

I’ve seen this truck before and it’s my dream 3rd gen. The bumper with the lead headlights look so good. Love the color and tires too.

 

Not today, but not too many days ago. Probably not worth the money spent, but it was a fun project for $300.

 

I like that idea

 

I thought about doing mine in bronze, not sure how it would hold up with mild offloading, also using black wheel nuts

 

So the Pop 'n Lock stopped working again... But this time, it wasn't thunking... No nothing.

So once again, I open up the back of the tailgate, looking for a loose connection or something. Nope. All looks good.
So then I try to measure voltage. Although my multi-meter can't read fast enough, it does blink when it senses a major voltage change. I was only getting a blink on one of the two wires. So I opened up the kick-panel, and checked the 5A fuses in the T-harnes that feed to the pop-n-lock. Sure enough, one fuse was blown. So I replaced it, and presto... Working again..

Going forward, if I stop hearing a "clunk" in the tailgate, I'll know not to waste time back there, and check the fuses first...

 

@ARCHIVE shock relocation kit came in

 

Wow, thank you

 

Awesome job!
I actually cut mine from Oracal Vinyl sheets after making a template of one section of wheel.. traced it, cut and it turned out great, all I used was a heat gun while installing them.

 

Just get the OEM version! It's not saving you any money if it don't work or stops working all the time. Just my 2 cents...
