What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

all of the pics did not get attached.

 

this looks awesome but why do they wanna charge me tax when my state doesnt have sales tax...

 

squadrons are such nice lights. How you like the antenna mount? I feel like I'd want it in the rear of the truck so just curious why you picked the front

 

Don't you pay tax on items from different states?

 

That’s rough. Looks like maybe some touch up paint would help with the scratches on the back / corner of the cab. Maybe look at the junkyard for an entire replacement passenger side door. MGM is a pretty common / popular color, so you might get lucky and find one.

 

That gap protector is pretty awesome. Any idea if they sell that separately? Wonder if I could get some sort of flexible trim at home depot for when I have a load of gravel/type stuff

 

Dang, I wish I’d have known about that. I bought one of the horse stall mats that you looked at and cut it into shape with a sawzall. Came out looking pretty good if I do say so myself. But it’s very thick and perhaps overkill.

 

I would also be interested in that one.

 

uh no you pay your states tax when its shipped to you.. there's a question on your taxes asking when that doesn't happen

 

Got it off etsy. Just search tacoma steering wheel emblem.

 

What coating is that on your frame?

 

Gonna have a stiff drink, go to bed and sleep on it! There's also a similar dent in the beside. Not sure if I'll turn it into my insurance company. Don't really want my rates to go up. I have 4 cars insured?

 

Mounted the Apogee front bumper last night. Installed the Bilstein 6112’s tonight, to lift it back up a bit.

*Eibach 700# springs, 5/4 circlip, got 1” of lift with the @Apogee Offroad steel bumper, @RCI-Offroad rock sliders, and @upTOPoverland alpha roof rack, bed truss, and bed rack.

 

Nice setup! Any clearance issues with the UCA over the coilover?

 

So I haven’t done any driving with it, other than backing it out of the garage and parking it in reverse in the driveway.

i was convinced I’d have 6” of lift with the high circlip (5/4) and 700# spring. But it only had 1” of lift.

To answer your question: no. But it’s still early. The installation was tiiiiight and required some pulling down on the LCA to get the eyelet at the bottom of the 6112 to sit in the pocket.

I also anticipated the UCA issue and bought some Bilstein UCAs but the bushings are giving me hell… so tomorrow im driving her about 2 miles down the road to a shop and outsourcing the UCA install. #defeated

But thank you for the kind words! She’s a labor of love, for sure.

 

I don't think so, but he's really responsive to messages on Instagram.

Finally got around to wrappin the skewwwwp

 

No shame in calling in the pros once you’ve reached your limit. You gave it a good effort! The new UCAs will really bring it all together and give you the full down travel that the longer shock affords. Enjoy the setup!

 

Just get it fixed with your insurance and be done with it. Shit happens, that's what insurance is for.

 

Installed the pop n lock tailgate! The latest version with the plastic hook shaped piece installed incredibly nicely. Definitely a PITA running the wire along the harness up to driver's kick panel but it's done now and it will stay done for the life the truck!
