What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks like they are dog approved

 

Oh hell yeah!! How much are these wheels now a days, per wheel?

The ones I was looking at are $325.00 per. Jeesh.

 

They were on sale for a bit and I was able to lock in the price (under $300)

 

Ha! The

Magic Creeper 51631 Black Patented Zero Ground Clearance Automotive and Household Creeper

Magic Creeper works on just about anything. Carry it with me everywhere and have used it just about everywhere over the years. It's even great for the spare tire. Just drop it onto one end of the Creeper and it slides out from underneath (or back in). Word of caution though. Do NOT step/walk on it. Do NOT ask me how I know.

 

Oh wtf… I actually need this. I assumed with a spiffy car hole like that you had some Gucci traditional creeper
That’s what I get for not looking at the product before I made a comment. Thanks for the link!

 

Yep. I have this regular

Magic Creeper has been my go-to.

 

No issues on the track flooring with the quickjack’s?

This looks like the “Gucci” creeper: https://www.vyperindustrial.com/col...ujHWgfAtGiuAGr9qYk07UgEDc7okAkGBoCkJUQAvD_BwE

 

Exactly what I was envisioning!

 

Zero issues using the QuickJack on the RaceDeck flooring. IIRC they even have a photo of it being used on their website. I had my first then second gen Tundras up on it too. Can't speak for other flooring though, but it distributes the weight pretty evenly so shouldn't be an issue. I've used a standard floor jack on it as well. The only thing to avoid are jack stands that have the pointy corners. They will dig in a little. (Also don't ask how I know this. ). Flat-bottom jack stands like

$78 BIG RED T43004 Torin Aluminum Jack Stands with Locking Support Pins: 3 Ton (6000 lb) Capacity, Red/Silver, 1 Pair

the Big Red work great.

If you're in the market for a QuickJack, Costco has them on sale on a pretty regular basis... like $300 off or more sometimes. RaceDeck is a sponsor so you can get a pretty good discount if you're a member on the Garage Journal forum.

Holy cow! That lay-down creeper should be gold plated for that price!

 

Bought a thing..

 

Paid the loan off.. now the truck is all mine! F()ck yea! I owe no one now.

 

Congrats! That is the absolute BEST mod you can add to the truck, owning the title!

 

@VABeachTacoTrail what series Method wheels and what size are the Falkens you are installing?

 

Im looking to upgrade my rear view mirror to something that has Homelink. I have the auto dimming OEM currently and looking for something relatively close to plug n play. Anyone have any recommendations? TIA

 

Check your electrical connection on your existing mirror. If is a 12 pin (6x2) connector, with only a few wires running to it, then you should be able to do a straight swap to a homelink mirror that takes the same connector.
I had the auto dim with compass, and changed to the auto dim homelink with compass and illuminated buttons that match the other blue lighting - took all of about 5 minutes to swap out.

 

New shoes!

 

Which ones did you go with?

 

Definitely post a pic when there on. I like the old style look of the spares.

 

Ok so a week late, made Friday the 13th into a good day......well not for my card!

After 6 years finally upgraded the suspension, unfortunately didn’t have time to diy the install so paid a little to get it done in a day.

Originally I wanted kings and ordered the full package from @AccuTune Offroad then was informed they changed the design of the tundra rears and that the Fox performance elite series were the better way to go.

I used one of their recommended installers who was able to accommodate my schedule and did a great job....checkered in Chula Vista.

Remaining plans were just a high clearance rear bumper and eventually rims/tires but I’m heavily considering stoptech brakes for the front
