What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Now that would look good under my B-red Taco... I really like that red on black...

 

I should have done it soon as I bought it. 30 k ago.

 

They seemed tight "enough" although I have no idea or frame of reference what that should be. I really couldn't figure out what this clunk was in the front end until I just happened to see the original bushing sitting all cockeyed in the frame bucket, so I tore it down and discovered that wear scar. This whole time I just assumed it was something I didn't properly torque down with one of my 4 suspension setups I've swapped lol. Still ridiculous on such low mileage on a road driven truck.

 

much much like...

Did you move your cab mounts up front or is thi sstock location?

 

No these are the front body mounts, basically on either side of the radiator. Easy to see on my truck with the C4 bumper, but a lot more hidden if you've still got the plastic bumper. Energy Suspensions makes a full body mount kit, but I just swapped the front ones for now and left the cab mounts alone. They are chopped to fit the tires but the rubber mounts themselves seem fine so far.

 

Out with the old, in with the new. Morimoto Evo Hybrid headlights paired with the Diodide Dynamics Elite Series Fog lights. Ordering a jumper harness from Diodide to get the Fogs backlight feature running.

 

Wait you’re saying OR has different body mount bushings than other trims? I would never in a million years have guessed that. Seems like a very odd part to have different designs for.

 

ATH fab bed stiffeners to complement the front tie downs

 

Tripped the ole odometer yesterday....

 

Yes I had to do the same and remove my shell mount. I do wish the bracket threads were longer as well to thread more, I don't have any thread showing. It's a solid mount!

 

Just need to get them aimed, they appear to be lower than what they should be.

 

Yeah the OR has lots of little differences. Over the years it has had beefed up versions of various parts. I am not certain if it is all of the body mount bushings or just the rear but part of the diff wine TSB involves replacing the regular body mount parts with the OR trim version. I guess they isolate the vibration better. Also the TSB leaf springs were the ones that the OR already had. Lots of problems seem to have been solved over the years by throwing OR trim parts at them.

 

Got my bed lights rigged back up. Four KC Hi-Lite Cyclones. These little guys kick ass!

 

Nothing planned today

 

No photos and very bland but a set of Michelin 265/65/17 LTX Defender's on my 2020 TRD Sport. Hoping to get just the average of the two sets I had on my 1994 which was about 137,000.

 

Pa’s safety inspection noted my coopers at 5/32nds a tire.( Lowest point)

Took awhile to find ​

 

Time to start figuring out what your next ones will be...

 

Best combo, but I'm a little bias lol. I wish the back lights were brighter (like a demon eye), but still cooler than having no backlights.

 

Just got back from a vacation with some off roading mixed in.

I got to give the Bilstein 6112/8100 a proper testing doing some high speed off roading and they are phenomenal.

Also finally got to use my Greenlane aluminum sliders as sliders (they have taken hits before but those were just dragging dirt on break overs and hitting a tree in a tight turn), the only line option was to go right over a single large boulder on my passenger side.
They functioned perfectly and held up great, just damaged the powder coating but if I was sliding boulders all the time I would go steel.

 

Those are just beauty marks now.
