What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

And, as time goes on, there is less to keep clean as the white paint detaches itself from the primer - which is an army green color.

 

Hmm, nice. I want to get this one done myself, because, stock, ALL those footwells are so dark.

 

Appreciate you recapping your experience with them! You’re a reasonable guy and I figured I missed something…

 

That's normal. Remember that the reference pressure is for "cold" tires that have sat still for a while, ideally overnight. If you drive more than about a kilometre (half mile) before checking them, the air inside will already have warmed up a bit, so you risk under-inflated tires if you adjust to your desired pressure at that time.

 

I installed the eiback pro lift. About 2" lift.
It feels amazing. Its taller in the front, i think I will add a 1" block to the rear.

Any suggestions?



Also, is there a market for the take off parts? 30k miles on them.

 

I suggest, that looks good!! Also, pretty sure it will settle ~1/2" in about a month.

I sold my OEM suspension after my lift, so you could probably do same.

 

I installed the Roadmaster Active Suspension to give a bit of lift as well as improving spring load capacity in the rear.

 

Thank you and thank you!

 

That's a good kit if you carry a lot of stuff.

 

yeah, but I prefer the previous model to the new EVOs

 

Changed the engine air filter, installed Tomatoman seat covers and very impressed with my new Cooper AT tires

 

Very impressive, did Hale Creek yesterday, the hard way down, probably the worst I have ever been on, tires performed flawlessly at 20 PSI, sidewalls took a beating

 

You can't post this without pic's

 

Changed the spark plugs at 103k. The newly installed CAI made it that much easier of a job

 

Ordered some new Falken Rubitrek AT size 285/75/16 for my son's Tacoma. I have these on my 4Runner and love them. The Toyo R/T's on his truck have some decent tread left but previous owner chewed them up pretty good on rocks and they don't ride well. Discount Tire price matched Wal-Mart on both the price and installation, plus I saved 5% using my DT card. I hope I'm done spending money on vehicles for awhile now (famous last words).

 

Whoa, Hale the hard way down, that’s awesome. Thanks for the feedback. Looking at replacing my tires before the fall.

 

Built a sleeping platform with drawers. Used 2020 extruded aluminum and free (slightly warped) plywood off Craigslist.
Edit: drawers are only 24" so I could source the slides locally and cheaply.


Almost complete:




Prior to plywood fitting:




Complete with scraps loaded to haul off:

 

THAT IS SO SICK.

 

Welpers, I ordered it Saturday morning and it arrived today, and believe it or not, I installed it today also...

So far it looks good and fits tight and after driving it in the rain a little bit ago, seems like it will keep most of the water out, I can see light in a few places but don't know how much rain water will make it in, time will tell... Not looking for 100% water prof, just mostly dry, I have 3 big totes that can keep stuff dry if needed, It should do what I need it to... The hardest part and most time consuming thing was putting the little rectangle weather seal between the bed and front rail, what a PIA, hands were cramping afterwards... lol

 

Haven’t shared any updates in a while but I made some big ones recently. 12x2.5s in the rear and a new topper.
