What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

thanks! I do have the LRA fuel tank that holds 33 gallons!

 

Nice, Welcome!

 

You know, every time I read something like this. It makes me grateful for what I have. Sure, I may not have the gas prices I WANT, but they're a hell of a lot better than prices in other parts of the world.

And that guy is right, the price for fuel is minor....because he's getting awesome views and even better memories while he's there.

 

I have the KTJO grab handle. It’s the same size and dimensions as the passenger side handle so you hop into the passenger side and take a look. It definitely blocks a small portion of the windshield but not so much that it’s a safety issue. It’s sturdy and can easily handle putting your weight on it. However, the fit and finish aren’t great and you’ll see and feel it, even if your passengers can’t. But that’s the case with most A/M mods.

 

Exactly

 

I've had the KTJO handle for close to a year and a half. It's pretty similar to the factory passenger side handle, but up close you can tell it's a little different. Installation was a pain. The hardest thing about it was the bolt holes weren't quite lined up with the factory mounting points, so it took some slight and careful adjustment. It hasn't really affected my visibility, other than just noticing it being there for the first week or so. Hope this helps

 

Light reading for you. I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying here are the risks.

Rest in peace @Tullie D

 

For the Tacoma it places the U bolts facing up instead of down under the axle. It's just a way to prevent the bolts from getting banged up off road. I have never had a truck/jeep that had them pointing down so it was always a little odd for me. It's also a super easy install.

You go from this


To this, there is more that was done here but, you get the idea.

 

Go for the KTJO grab handle. I use it hoist my 190lb fat ass everytime I get in. The bolt caps could be a little better but they're okay.

The problem everyone has is lining up the bolts, it can be a pain! I found the problem to be that the A pillar cover is to wide, it pushes against the windsheild which won't allow the 2nd bolt to line up.

I fixed this by snugging down one bolt then using a sharpie held flat against the windsheild I scribed a line alond the edge of the A pillar cover. Took my rotozip along the line removing the sharpie line, about 3/16 to 1/4 inch. Put the cover back on and the bolts lined up perfectly.

 

The Taco took my spouse and I to the quiet Wildwood campground for some well deserved R and R this week.

You can

for some people it’s hard to reach behind it

and some people replace the entire housing light

also, it was also meant for something else
