What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just bought one! Cant wait!

 

Put on some jba uca’s and got an alignment. Caster is right around 3. Seems like I still have some bump steer. Should I go more caster?

 

I don't have any glare issues. I can just see further than before on the stock reverse bulbs both through the camera and using my side mirrors. I don't understand why the manufacturers don't put brighter reverse lighting in new vehicles.

I also upgraded the licence plate bulbs to LED and went with the lowest lumen that Diode Dynamics had. I don't have any glare issues with those either.

 

They are easy peasy.

I've been happy with Lasfit. I did the fogs 6 months ago, then my low beams yesterday.

 

With the smaller capacity and the spiders always spinning with the CVs, doing the front diff is just as important as the rear diff.

 

Hell yea!

 

White letters on the Pro Grill on Voodoo. Didn’t see any/many other people with that combo.

 

Damn that would look awesome! Price is hard to justify but if I had $150 to burn...

 

Thank you...appreciate it.

 

I like it, looks good.

 

My truck has 16k miles but it's something I'll look at .

 

Not a bad time to swap it. Did mine at just under 7,000mi. Things appeared to look good at about 55,000mi. Probably do them again soon.

 

PRETTY...COOL.
I like the look.

 

I replaced my rear diff fluid more out of fear that the level was low from factory. I used Amsoil gear oil in those new squeeze pouch . It was easy. I'm not one of those that goes Amsoil on everything but the pouch squeeze was a no brainer. Engine oil I'm Mobil1 Extended Service 0w20 ofcourse .

 

The pouch thing is cool. The whole industry should be using (licensing?) that.

I recently bought a $10 HomeDepot sprayer to accomplish it. Hand pumping took a while last time.


My guess is that the factory fills by either set volume or until it dribbles. Either way, the lube will be going to virgin areas immediately afterward, so there might be a bit of underfill by the nature of it. I think the only big error would be expecting the factory stuff to last forever. Then again, some folks do and the Taco still goes. Hahaha!

 

Nice! Looks great

 

Thanks! Thinking about doing a quasi retro take on this thing with grayscale Ivan stripes on the side and fifteen52 steelie-style 80s wheels and white-out letters on the tires. Thoughts?

 

That your old Toyota Pickup too?

Either way,

 

I like the stripes, but maybe slightly more subdued and just on the quarter panel. Rather than 80s steelies, maybe some of these Method 703s in gloss titanium. Similar look with updated pop. At least that's what you got me thinking about for mine!
