What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

see above

 

Stock suspension otherwise?

 

Think I can finally start getting my patch collection back in my truck. Really don't want to have a ton of hook velcro left over when I just need the loop side.

 

yup i saw your post too late. sorry

 

Did you need anything else other than the shocks? I'm looking to do the same, but beyond the Bilsteins, I dunno what else is needed.

 

Going to add these to the post for everyone lol.

64742-04010 Pocket Box
64074-04011 Cover
90148-A0006 (x6) Bolts

The OEM bolts are M6 thread pitch and use a t25 torx.

Thank you. It was not bad to install at all, an hour maybe after making a cutting template (the template took the longest). I started with a step bit in the corners to round them to reduce the chance of cracks and my Dremel with a plastic cutoff wheel went right thru the composite bed. After that I used the flap disk on the grinder to slowly creep up on the perfect fitment.

 

I must re-evaluate the term "proper".

 

$200.00

 

Made up a DIY on board air setup. Ill probably update it with a better display and some color graphics. Maybe touchscreen and add some other features and stuff. Fun to tinker with stuff like this.

A not very good video showing it...

Price is right rules for guessing?
$124.99

 

Yeah the body line at the bottom and just kept going in an angle towards the rear. What took the longest was the measuring and to make sure both sides are even. Then used a dremel. Not hard at all lol just take your time

 

Measure for 3 days, cut once.

 

Exactly

 

Nothing else.

 

How much of a lift? I'm just considering a 2in lift, and I know I can get the pre-load set for a 2in lift. I'm was curious about what else would be needed for a proper install.

 

Thanks for the info!!!

 

I'm set at about 1.25" no block or add a leaf in the rear. The truck sits level to maybe a tiny bit nose high. At 2" you can see how you like it and go from there, or do an add a leaf (you can also do a block) when you're doing the install. If you plan on running larger tires, you probably want an upper control arm that has some additional caster adjustment to help clear the firewall.

In my case I'm running the 1.25" of front lift, 5160s only in the rear and stock size Goodyear Duratrac tires.

 

I'm currently on 265/65/17 KO2s on Methods 703s. Getting a bit of rub over heavy bumps and turning under heavy breaking. But I'm not wanting to get into rock crawling or anything so I'm just thinking of a leveled lift. So with so many options and a limitation of funds, I'm hoping to get everything in a single purchase, and not need to get additional parts.

Definitely appreciate the help.

 

Chopped up and hauled a dang ole tree.

 

I swapped my rear seat spacer from 1/2" down to 1/4" (with a front seat jacker). Hoping it makes a difference. I feel like the lumbar support where the seat bottom and the back meet sticks out too far. There is not enough seat bottom to reach out on the legs. If I drive my Tacoma for 100 miles or more I get the worst leg cramps. Been trying different configurations. Ultimately I feel like the seat just needs to be better or I need to find a seat that is more comfortable that can be swapped rather easily. Love my truck, really dislike the seats. Any advice for making a better ride for 6 foot tall guys is much appreciated.
