What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Thanks that looks great. It’s one of those things you can do that isn’t really noticeable but people will look and wonder why that truck looks different. (The body lift)

 

I finished plumbing in the ClearSource Mini 3 stage water filter system. Now we can fill our main 10 gallon tank from most any source while on the go. I also made a USB powered ventilation fan insert for the rear window. Its for the dogs when they're sleeping in the back in the midwest humidity. The rear seat delete includes a USB power bank to run both from the auxiliary battery system.

 

Just rolled over 60k so today was Oil Change, Bleed the brakes, and replace the stock windshield wiper rubbers. Need to find another weekend for my spark plugs

 

Raising my 2003 Tundra 2.5 inches for whatever reason caused me to lose traction in the rear . I would spin out really easily on wet or icy surfaces where it didn’t before altering the suspension.

 

I am not a fan of these wheels either, just the looks, I thought about getting 1 of the decal kits to cover up the polished areas but not sure how they hold-up to off road use, but for the price it might be worth a try

 

I got them a couple days ago in truth. But I was on a road trip camping so posting the new tires today still counts right?

I went with KO2 over KO3 because from the reviews I have read the KO2 is slightly more "off road" then the newer KO3. I've had great luck with the KO2 in the past. So history wins.

I went with load E because these god damned rocky mountains eat tires like they are free.


Edit: I had two people PM me to ask why I stuck with the factory size. Which is a great question given I could have easily gone up a little. The short answer is... I need every single inch of wheel clearance and deflection possible. Infact, if anything I would go down in size not up. For what I do, what I experience I've found that 265 is plenty of clearance. I also completed my skid plates so if need be I can and do drag it over anything I need. I'm not crawling, I'm looking for aliens and fly fishing.

 

I didn't bother with the tint, I went with HELLA ultra yellow Halogen bulbs

 

@K9tacoma - “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness”. Thanks for the nudge!

 

Installed Genesis dual battery set up.

Easy install, worth it, ECT?

 

Changed the oil and rotated the tires. I figured it was the least I could do after she got me to Virginia and back (from Texas).

 

I second this! You like?

 

So far, yes. I opted not to use the nut and bolt that provided to install the nutserts. Instead, I bought a tool for installing them. Install was pretty straight forward. I had to move my winch battery swich, but overall, everything fits nice.

 

I'll take a few pics and post them.

 

are they led?

 

Wanted just a little more rear lift so I swapped out the TRD PRO 1/2" rear lift block for a Wescott 1".
Hardly noticeable.
Will post the TRD blocks/ubolts for sale shortly.

 

Everything I'm seeing from Goodyear and any online tire site says the Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT is an LT tire. Factory spec for the tire is 30psi. 35 was the lowest I could enter on that site. It's perfectly safe for him to run 32psi on an E rated tire. But once again, everyone can feel free to do their own research. It took me all of 2 minutes to look at a few different sites that show factory info.

 

Initially I didn’t like the looks of the KO3, and they didn’t have Raised White Letters, and didn’t offer any in a 16 inch size. Now I see RWL and a 305/70-16 which is way too big for me! I assume eventually they will offer more sizes.
265/75-16 is just right for my needs

 

The 1” OEM lift spacers would have made your wallet less thin in turn making you feel like you’re riding higher!
Also did your factory U-bolts feel like they were not very tight? I added the 1/2” spacers last week and mine were not tight at all on one side and not much more snug on the other side!
