What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

SCS BR6’s & General Grabber X3’s mounted today

 

Absolutely!

 

It’s Diode dynamics bracket that comes as a kit.

 

Swapped out the stock Sport muffler for a Flowmaster chambered piece. This was the easiest exhaust job I have ever done, only took a couple hours. I removed the stock exhaust at the flange, so I could cut the pipes as close to the muffler as possible, and deburred the hack saw cuts. I installed the two pipe sections back on the truck. I used a 3” long butt joint clamp on the front of the muffler, just snug, and placed a jack stand under the rear of the muffler, to keep the joint alignments straight. Connected the rear joint with a second 3” butt clamp, verified alignment & depth, and tightened both clamps. I used a 2.25 crush clamp (two piece horseshoe/saddle) to hold a rubber strap style hanger to the front hanger location, and a 3/8 bolt through the strap and stock rubber hanger. The rear has two hangers that form a V, two of the same hangers with a second crush clamp, and two 3/8 bolts through the stock rubber hangers made it all solid and stable as the factory pieces. No grinding, no welding, no bending, no pie cuts - my first bolt in exhaust. The exhaust is still very quiet at idle, or small load, it is loud enough you can here it at 3K or more when it is pulling. This and the clutch mod, should make shifting this truck as good as it can be!

 

Just got it back today had full paint correction and ceramic done absolutely love it!!

 

Added 275/70/17 Wilkpeakes and the Icon Stage 1 Lift. (Coil overs and add a leaf) on my 2022 TRD Sport 4wd. It rides great also!

 

Looks great I love that tire size for the Tacoma

 

Nice job keeping the black paint up. I've been there.

 

Thanks for the reply and your input too Goatfrog. I have a parts list, just wanted to know from someone with experience how big of a deal it is.

 

Wow! That looks great. Thinking of doing a similar thing to my TRD Sport. How is the noise while driving? (city and highway) Is it too loud?

Looking proper!

 

Thanks,

I haven't been on the highway yet, but on the city streets I can't here any noise at all. Just as quiet as the stock street tires were.

 

gave the truck a little refresh with some new brake pads, rotors, replaced the S&B dry filter with a new oiled one, and I removed the AVS bug deflector (still getting used to the look without after having it on for so long). whatever coating is on the bug deflector started flaking up in several spots. decided to just ditch it.

 

Frontrunner light bar installed -

 

Kryptek typhon neosupreme seat covers from shearcomfort.com

easy to install and feel great. Only grip is I have no idea which head rest cover is driver or passenger. Back seat was easy too.

 

I got the OEM short mat from BAM on ebay for 65 and free shipping

 

2Lo modded

 

Replaced the ginormous air filter on my AFE intake. I’m the 3rd owner of this intake and the difference was very visible between the new and old. $200 into this intake completely now, totally worth it.

 

Couple things..
