What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I got my truck sprayed with Fluid Film, and I got the OTT n/a tune. Which is awesome.

 

@Ncousins1 Yes, professionally applied ceramic coat looks awesome. Truck looks amazing.

I did a cheap DIY ceramic coating. I was very impressed using the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wax Coating. Was sceptical but following the instructions and after applying the recommended 2 coats it looked great. It’s held up well in the winter so far.

 

Yes. Hoping I figure out how to lift them into place with a floor jack while snaggling in a couple bolts to hold them in place so I can then reach for the airgun to drive the bolts in.

 

5*.
Yeap, I will post

 

Got mine from here:

They even came with lamps installed! Very reasonably priced too.

 

So far next to nothing haha. I have a guy that does it for $500 and then every year for $150 he'll do a refresh on it. I also do my washes by hand with a mitt and Chemical Guys Hydrosuds to help keep it fresh as well.

 

Wow, what an amazing looking truck!! Good form, sir!

 

Thank you! been super happy with it!

 

Moved the bed rack over from the g2 to the g3

 

nice fit, even from a 6ft bed to a 5ft

 

Here are pics of the RCI 5 degree sliders on my truck: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...3rd-gen-today.399305/page-12619#post-28282174

 

RCI 20 degree on my old truck I just sold. I am putting them on Solaris now.

 

Good luck with the install. Let me know how that goes.

 

You do the bottom bolt first. Once it's in, the sliderholds its self in place. I used a floor jack with a 2x6 on top. Place the slider over the 2x6 and strap it on with a bungy cord. But honestly having a buddy hold it while you put in that first bottom bolt is easier.

 

I was going to go that route but just decided to do the spacer. Wasn't sure if having them on two different settings would change how it handled bumps from side to side. Plus I was about 5/8" lower on the driver's side, so I figured the spacer would get me a little higher. Im sure it would be fine to do though, just depends on how much lean you have.

 

I did the spacer to compensate for the Taco lean on the drivers side as well. I think it was the right decision.

 

jk, doesn't look too bad

 

Thank you for the timely info/reminder. I remember you saying this once before here on the forum!!! The 2x6 was the additional info I didn't remember....

 

Finally time for the first oil change on my SR5 that I bought last September and replaced the plastic oil filter housing with a metal one.

 

I just added Bilstein's to all four corners as well. 4th notch in the front (1.5inch). Ride is super smooth and planted with 265s.
