What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thank You!

 

You are exactly right. I left the hood up after install and had a few cold ones while checking it out. So every 3500 miles when I change the oil and filter (I know Toyota says every 10k miles, but that is messed up) I can admire it again with several cold ones.

 

I love mine... light up the world, you can see the deer before they dart out in front of you..

 

Thank you!
I’m paying to get it done. Didn’t want to deal with all that crap.

JAKE!!!

 

Changed out back door speakers. Cursed a lot. Broke a lot of plastic clips. Why can’t we just use screws folks

 

Got my Snugtop Rebel installed last week. As I suspected it made the rear leafs sag. I intend to carry weight, will be adding a ladder rack, so needed a solution.
Installed RAS helper springs, lifted the rear slightly, which I’m happy with because of the issues that’ll occur if the rear sags further with added weight. I already get high-beamed quite a bit with an empty bed and stock, factory aimed LED headlights. As I jacked up the rear of the truck, the leaf springs, with less than 1500 miles, were pretty much flat. Not real happy with that. Installed Total Chaos bed stiffeners, adds some tie off points. Often have large items I need to secure, the lack of stock tie-off points similar to earlier model Toyota trucks is pretty lame. Installed Pop & Lock rear electric tailgate lock. The tailgate being locked with the fob at the same time as the cab should absolutely be standard on every Tacoma.

 

Replaced driver side Lower control arm today bc my bushings and lower ball joint had give out after 148k miles and riding rough.. now the 8112s feel like I’m riding on freaking air New

 

YEA BUDDY

 

Give us a review of the RAS springs pls. I've heard good and bad, folks telling me I should just get a new leaf pack, or AAL. All I know is every time I hit a bump it sounds like my rear axle is falling off. Axle wrap don't you know.

 

RMAS is a great DIY product.

 

You will definitely notice a difference. Only downside is that it takes them a week or two to ship.

 

I will when I pull it out of the box this weekend.

Edit: got pics from the ebay ad.

 

I put the ARB Summit bumper and rails on with some IR floods. Driving blacked out > driving lit up

 

Installed Firestone Ride-Rite rear air bags today. Not me, local shop did the work. My poor back and neck can no longer handle that type of work.

I get out on about 25 -30 trips during Spring to Fall with my boat and camping gear loaded up, about 1,000 pounds in the back each time. A lot of sag in the rear, same as our butts as we age.

Some locations I need to go through 20 washouts in a day like this photo. So the air bags will counter the sag and less bumper dragging in those washouts.

 

Love that color!!

 

I got mine from Colt at @memario1214 hotshotoffroad when they had the sale going on. Free shipping and no tax plus came fast. Hes a vendor on here.

 

No daystar cradles??
