What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Damn! Sorry you were impacted by someone else’s lack of awareness. Have you considered using this opportunity to get a high clearance steel bumper?

 

Very true. That’s why I never park street side.

 

I have the diode dynamics ss3 fog lights, been thinking of doing this!
People seem to be murdered here in Seattle for no reason. I don’t need to instigate a situation with my super bright lights.

 

It definitely sucks I have to drive around a wrecked truck for the rest of the summer. [/QUOTE]
Yeah I know what you mean. My neighbor put a hole in my bedside with his lawn mower hitting a big rock in early June and I can’t get in to the body shop until end of August.

 

Nice work. Took a couple of weeks for my fingers, hands and arms to fully recover, but the results are really worth it.

 

New wife

 

No pics but used it to pull an XTerra out of the sand. As leaving our morning working on the Florida Trail saw a fellow ease his his 2X over a berm (county uses blades to level road). Not sure what he was thinking but he was a bit worried as I unpacked the smittybilt 3” x 30’ 30K strap from the cellophane. Looped it thru his tow bar and hooked to the TRD OffRoad hook I added to the Sport front end. Easy day.

 

Do you mean this? If yes, if you consider that a recovery point I'd encourage you to do some research on Tacoma front end recovery points. That is not one. Sounds like this was a light recovery and you sort of "tugged" him out gently but under load that thing will deform, or worse, break off and become a projectile.

I'd look at the ARB Recovery point or get two BPF Fabrication Recovery points (one for passenger side and one for driver's side) and use those. Considering you have a recovery strap you plan to do this when needed. Get some proper recovery points.

 

Little things. Added a pop of color to the tailgate handle, added a bucket for the small things and an impulse buy on the aluminum patch.

 

Added Goodyear Wrangler Ultraterrain's today. So long stock tires... hello adventure and peace of mind driving Washington State mountain passes this upcoming fall/winter/spring.

 

Actually that is the factory recovery hook. The driver side eyelet is for strapping the front end down when towing it on a trailer.

 

Curious did you go with the C rated or the E? I have the Falken Wildpeaks but they only came in SL and E. I got SL to save some weight. I only offroad about 4-5 times per year on easier trails so I felt like E was overkill. Considering what you got in a C rated next go around.

 

Morimotos are in!! Looking good. 2 hr install. Definitely could have used an extra pair of hands but managed. Not getting a start up sequence but honestly don’t care. Reached out to Morimoto to see what’s going on. Very Stoked!

 

Some pinch weld bending this afternoon.

 

Sorry it isn't. It is a "Tow Hook", not a recovery point. Look it up. I'm saving him grief down the road from either property damage or person injury or death.

 

Had both my driver side wheel caps jacked

 

Man that sucks, what a pain in the a$$!
