What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thank you, I scrolled right past it

 

Pic angles are deceiving. The u-bolts come just shy of half of the bump stop. I don’t want to trim any yet because the medium leaf may go back in shortly. But I did lift each side to stuff the tire until the bump stop hit and the other sides tire come off the ground with a forklift. Even gave it a couple bounces for good measure to make sure there was no contact.

 

Upgraded to option 2 on the rxt’s and went with 285/70/17 ko2’s.

 

That's an okay test for flex, but the Superbumps squish up flat as a pancake when properly compressed. If you hit something big enough to impact them you're going to be feeling those bolts and you're not going to have a good time, but hopefully they will work for now. When you do settle on a height, trim them about 1/4" above the nut, or about equal with the thick part at the base of the bump stop.

EDIT: Like this is what you're going for to avoid metal-on-metal contact.

 

Nice ! I’ll add a winch over the winter. I don’t feel like taking the front end off by myself , again atm. Lol

 

Got everything wired up and running around 1AM last night. I can’t even see the truck from the front , in person. The DD lighting is Alien abduction bright.

I can only hope. I’d gladly go.

 

Installed a dash cam. Too many crazies out there!

 

This looks awesome! What suspension kit are you running?

 

Put my deposit in for a GFC

I guess it's more like.....

 

eibach 2.0 coilovers for about 1.5” lift up front with icon rxt leaf pack option 2 in back.

 

Yep! That’s what I did when I was first running it with the HD Dakar. Not wheeling it until I decide for sure if I need that leaf or not. This was the full pack with trimmed bolts.

 

Nice! I was looking at the stage 1 kit from Eibach, but after seeing this you got me thinking stage 2. How's the ride?

 

Any info on your setup? And you're right about the crazies. I'm dealing with insurance about my 4runner getting totaled.

 

Nice! I've had the

$147 Rexing V1P Pro Dual 1080p Full HD Front and Rear 170° Wide Angle Wi-Fi Car Dash Cam with Built-in GPS Logger, Supercapacitor, 2.4" LCD Screen, G-Sensor, Loop Recording, Mobile App, Parking Monitor

Rexing V1P Pro for a few years now and it's been great. I actually put mine on the opposite side, so it's hidden from my view behind the mirror. If you can get the rear camera for it, I think it could be a good thing to have too. I feel a lot better having front and back covered in case something were to happen.

 

just got these in today's mail, American Flag, American/Police Flag

 

I was going to put it on the other side, but I couldn't get to the buttons as easily. Not that I need them often. But, I did like that it was less visible on the left side of the mirror. I'm looking for a USB plug with a right angle instead of the one coming straight out. Not easy to find. This will have to do for now.

 

What do you think of the exhaust? Had a MBRP on my 2017 and it had a terrible drone.
