What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hah, yeah I guess that’s the luck of that discount tire location in the background!

 

@BLtheP

Very interesting! I think Bronze Wheels go well with any color.

I like the look as well...and I'd have to do a double-take to see if you had a "skewp". lol

I'll be switching wheels/tires in the future but I will probably keep my Sport Wheels. I'm collecting parts I've removed or replaced from my Sport.

Maybe one day I'll put them up for sale!

 

I love bronze, and considered the Semas in bronze and then just selling my gray Semas, but ultimately I didn’t want to lose money. Also, bronze on gray just wasn’t my favorite. I like it, but it doesn’t ‘pop’ like bronze on white or black to me. I’ve always liked the 2020+ Sport rims (and for a while I wished I got the Sport which would have had the rims I wanted), so I posted up a feeler on FB and within like 3 minutes I had someone agree to trade.

And it’s funny you say that about double taking on the ‘skewp’, I tell people I’m creating a Sport/OR hybrid lol. Offroad suspension and locker, Sport rims, paint match bumper caps. Only things I’m missing really are the skewp and the stickers.

I’ll probably remove my bed stickers eventually, making it impossible to know. They won’t know if it’s a Sport with a OR hood, or an OR decked out in sport gear, lol.

I think I’m gonna stick to the small tires, I like how they drive and they look good enough to me. No lift will ever happen here, I just don’t want to mess with it.

 

@BLtheP

Well, here's a pic of the front wheel the day I took her home!



Since I had the Bushwacker Fendys installed, I've got the bug to do a lift in about 6-8months! YeeeeHaaaaw!

 

Here in Mexico we only have 3 options in Tacoma. A basic 2wd, and a sport and special edition 4x4. The SE is only available in one color per yr, this yr it's Lunar Rock.

 

Yes, they are.

 

Just an FYI

you don’t have to tag someone if you quote them. Not sure if you knew that are not?

if you’re used to it then keep with it but might be a little less effort

 

Just curious... what does LED interior lighting do for you? Different colors maybe?

 

I'm learning as I go...lol!

Not long ago, someone told me I didn't need to add my sign-off:

Ed
****

I would end my text with the above ending. I ended up putting it in my signature.

I'm not bothered about it, either way...I'm use to typing and spelling things out...which I sometimes have to google abbreviations to understand people's intent.

 

All good. Just trying to help

 

From my previous post… here are some shots of the Auxito LEDs for low beams and fog lights. Still have stock high beam bulbs.

Low beams with fog lights.


Low beams without fog lights.


High beams.

 

Colors and brightness. I have the meso dual color ones, I work night shift so I like the option to have them set to red most of the time but still have the ability to switch them to white and unleash the sun. The stock incandescent bulbs were horrible when trying to find something in the truck at night and left so much to be desired.

 

Honestly never thought of having the color changing ones. That’s smart. I just prefer to have them bright in general so I swapped all of mine for white.

 

Most of you have seen this a hundred times.

Added BD Squadron-Rs today along with some Sequential signals. Figure one is function over form, the other is form over function. Massive differences between the factory LED fogs and these BD units. Really pleased with the turn out. Still not sire if I've aimed them properly. Nobody flashed me on my way home.

 

From the pic, it looks like the low beams cast a wide spread

 

Yup, they do. The flat sides of the bulbs that house the LEDs are on the right and left side - if that makes sense? As opposed to all around. I’m very happy with the improved lighting and that the cutoff didn’t change much at all.

 

how do they affect you getting in the truck?

 

Probably not much difference In weight between the 2 wheels.....18x9 wheels....275/75/18 tires 62mm offset over factory 16x7 wheels

 

285/70/17
3 inch rc vortex lift

 

I did lots of things and I like what I've done
