What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

i'm waiting on sliders also. is that something one does before installing sliders to prevent rust or what?

 

Can’t hurt given the rust issues these frames seem to have.

 

Pictures tomorrow

 

Our son got us a new Lego toy for Christmas

yep, that’s me, Batman at the wheel. Have to be in order to drive the crazy one lane “roads” in The British isles

Both trucks are Pro's? If they're both stock and with both having the same traction & crawl control systems it'll come down to tires. The Tacoma with Goodyear Wrangler A/T Adventure w/Kevlar, the 4Runner with the Nitto Terra Grapplers.

The Kevlars are a good tire on the street and maybe some rocks but not at all for mud and while the Nittos aren't for the mud either they'll be a hell of alot better than the Kevlars.

It'll be an interesting & fun experiment for sure and as much as I'd like to see the Tacoma pull it off I'm pretty sure it'll be the 4Runner for the win.

Make sure to get it on video!

 

haha, yea, that much light focused at an iPhone camera apparently sets it into a whirlwind of all kinds of pissed off. Lol

 

You truck is the quintessential example of how simple and subtle is awesome. Great rig!

 

It looks incredibly short naked, just realized that

 

So I couldn't help but notice a slight hitch in my giddyup. Upon investigation I behold a ghastly sight to which even that of Ray Charles would cringe in fear. Ehh, everything is good with some 80 grit sandpaper, a little rattle can and some new RTV. It lasted this long, I reckon it just needs a little oil... since what came out was just dust. Open to suggestions, but I'm thinking 0-20 or maybe 0-16 mobile full synthetic for fuel economy. There can't be that much of a difference between an engine and this strange looking contraption.

 

Yes I kept the stock coils. Ride quality without a doubt improved as well.

 

Thanks bro

 

Quick question... I have the 4Runner TRD Pro Bronze wheels [PTR2035110F5] but the dealer just transferred the old chrome lug nuts. Can anyone recommend the appropriate/good black set of lugs for these wheels?



EDIT:
I think I figured it out.

hmmnn, very nice. These are half the price. Thanks!!

 

ok thanks

 

Installed ¼” spacers up front after installing icon rxt in back on option 1. Rides perfectly now.

 

Would be even more interesting (& fun) if you do this, get a champion, and then swap the tires between the two and do it all again.
