What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Checked to see how aggressive of a CMC I’ll have to do when I switch to 315/75r16


Honestly it has a bit of room with the 285/75r16 I have now. I don’t rub even when fully flexed out.

I’m hoping I get away with an aggressive CMC and not have to do a relocation.

 

Between yesterday and today

1) Tacogarage DMM install with a diy belkin MagSafe mount. I know they make one now but I used this one previously in my crosstrek and I like the design more. There’s an extra little magnet below the ring of the MagSafe magnet that seems to keep it more secure.

I also ran a usb cable that I tapped into the cigarette lighter and hid all the cables behind the trim and dash.

2) Installed a wireless CarPlay controller from Amazon. Seems to be working well so far.

3) Installed the DDI seat jackers on the passenger side seat.

4) Threw some amber laminX film over the stock fog lights to see if I like the amber look moving forward with my lighting plans. (cheap experiment that can be removed)

5) took a picture for the gram and TW

 

I have the sneaky suspicion that the left-side A-pillar from 2015 will fit a 2016, thus a 2022. Is that crazy? And I'm thinking the handle for the right-side can also be used on the left.

Yeah, I was thinking perhaps underneath the plastic garnish at the top of the driver's door (parallel to the cabin floor) may have some bolt holes. I am thinking of taking a peak when I get the truck. Someone somewhere else just put a bolt through a strap with two eyelets and connects to the upper hole in the A-pillar. That might be an option as well.

 

if youre going to do it do it right. Dont think youll be okay and when the time comes youre screwed and cant enjoy it. Do the relocation, whatever else needed and then get the tires...be done with it

 

it’s been confirmed about 6+ years ago and confirmed it won’t fit. I mean you could hack it up and it might

 

this ^^^

 

Check out @drtfabrication CMR instead of the CMC... Great products

 

yep they sux.....i just got a flat screwdriver and broke the tabs off the lic plate light - since i was replacing the whole thing, and the overhead i used needle nose pliers to grab it, might help to put tape on tips of the pliers

 

ill take a look. Ty

 

If you have any questions let me know

 

I will second @drtfabrication for the CMR, best on the market. Do not go with the other brand.

Look at this, other brand frame failure with no backing plate. I pulled this from IG.

 

What do yo think of this mod

 

Plastic sheeting on rear driver side window?? That's old school.

 

I copied it from the 22 tundra

 

The low-profile window deflectors are pretty cool.

 

Fitting 37s with almost no rub /s






Only had to do minor modifications to it /s

 

You mentioned Jeep. I was kind of shocked to see that the Willys, in the WW2 configuration, had the axle on top of the leaves. I just would have thought they'd put it below for better ground clearance.
Bet that if I researched it I would find the reduction in body roll (& maybe even roll-overs) out weighed clearing rocks. Could also be to get the diff tucked in a bit more. ??

 

Ya, almost all the desert runner trucks that spend their life on the dunes are spring under the axle. Several manufactures make kits for the Tacoma. here is a pic of the Dirt King set up, the lower brace captures the u bolts protecting them. I wonder if the Willy does the same.

 

That JD fab mount came in clutch. I'm having firewall work done here soon. I may go the JD fab route a little later on, was seriously considering it.

 

5.29s?
