What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

No problem, I get it. Just had to ask!

 

Does any one really know the difference between the maxtraxx and the VooDoo off road traction boards? the Voodoos seem a little healthier on the wallet

 

Super jealous. Looks amazing.

 

(Two thumbs up……waaaay up)!

 

Meso Total Tail V1



and a ghetto mod, because these cup holder inserts are trash. Got tired of one side popping up constantly and locking my yeti cup in the holder.



Rubber bands, duck tape, 550 cord and zip ties are my specialty.

 

Finally came around and removed the wind deflector. Mixed feelings also installed meso custom C light kit.

 

The original Meso gasshole was... not great.

I'll be buying v2 though because it seems to resolve any issues I've got with v1.

 

Looks much better without it!

 

When I install my SOS Performance 2" front / 3.5" rear lowering here shortly, I'm going to put the front air dam back on and see what it does to the gas mileage.

 

MetrickMetal SOS drop kit is on my list.

 

I have the SOS kit already and I also ordered a

$396 Hellwig 7744 Solid, Heat Treated Chromoly, 3/4" Rear Sway Bar

Hellwig 7744 rear sway bar kit which is back-ordered at most places, but I should get it next month sometime.

The only thing I'll have to do to get it to work with the truck lowered is install the sway bar to the differential, and with the truck sitting on the ground, support the sway bar with it parallel to the ground and see how much I have to shorten the end links, as the ones that come with the kit are most likely going to be too long.

 

Function over looks

 

I have the original

 

Installed a

$98 Rove R2-4K Dash Cam Built-in WiFi 6 GPS Car Dashboard Camera Recorder with UHD 2160P, 2.4" IPS Screen, 150° Wide Angle, WDR, Night Vision

Rove R2-4K dash cam and rear door protecters for the dog.

 

You’re going to lower your truck?

 

There are a few of us around

 

Not that many slammed Coma’s but they look nice. The access cab looks way better in my opinion.

 

You can just lower the window half way to clean it if you even need to as it won’t be getting very dirty now.

 

ima dangler to! and five guys is the shit!

 

My 22 started as a 21 order last June but arrived 1/3/22. It is a simple low end Taco for street only use by a mid 70s retiree. (This should be my last one as the previous 04 TRD lasted 15 years.) Here is my list of mods, all done single handed by an old shade tree mechanic (me).
