What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That looks good on that color truck!!

 

Oil and filter change, car wash, gas. Inside of the truck is still dirty.

 

Local trusted shop religiously, no leaks no issues. 0W20 full synthetic.

 

Been a minute since I've been on...I dunno why I never started a build thread. Anyhow, I've done a lot recently...

SSO front bumper & Smittybuilt winch:


Modified a molle panel to fit my HD bedrack to attach some Rotopax:


Added a 10lb propane tank mount to the tire carrier:

A buddy gave me his old platform he used in his back seat with his fridge slide. I carpeted it and added some recessed D rings to strap down the battery box I made topped off by a solar panel:




Then I decided I wanted a little drawer to keep straps and such in.

 

There is a lot of rubber between the edge of that tire lug/tread and the air inside the tire... Run it as is...

 

I've taken bigger chunks out of my arm and fixed it with duct tape.

It's fine.

 

Meso Customs V2 knob with the @oostroma kit to make it a toggle on off versus momentary. Highly recommend!

 

Yesterday I went ahead and installed ARP 7718s. These are intended for a Toyota Celica however they fit our trucks perfectly. No need to drill a hole in the backing plate of the drum brakes or trim the stud to make them fit in the rear.




I also removed the very crappy dealer installed vinyl wrap on the rockers. It’s a year old and already turning yellow.

 

I copy you on the "very crappy dealer installed vinyl wrap on the rockers.", mine is 4.5 years old and it's so dirty. Oh, I think I have painted on rocker protection...

Where did you have all that wrap? (Rockers...) I've only got it forward and rear of rear wheels.

 

I had it forward and aft of the rear wheel. I did leave the small pieces inside the door handle and on the door edge. They seem to actually be holding up so far.

Yank it off! I did not need any heat and did not leave any residue. Just a dirt line that came off with spray detailer.

 

Got it, I've still got some on lower door edges as well, took it off already on the door handles and upper door edges. It reminded me of someone with really, really, nasty, grungy, dirty, fingernails. I didn't even want to touch it.

Anyway good post, and good to know you got it off without a heat source.

 

Those wheels (and the tires) look awesome, great choice with the color of your truck

 

Went from a 2.25"/1.25" Bilstien 5100 and AAL, to a 3"/2" Dobinsons IMS with heavy duty leaf springs.



Installed Cat shields and a steel front skid plate.


Upgraded 265/70/17 to Toyo OC ATIII 285/70/17. Zero rubbing under normal use, no trimming needed.

Added 5 inch strip of 5% tint to top front windshield. Here in South Florida and our UV "12" index, this helps alot. Shields my Garmin mini 2 cam nicely, now doesnt overheat and restart.

 

Are you missing a lug?

 

I'm sorry for being a dumbass on the subject, but would anyone care to explain this post??

 

Mulch run.

 

I like to keep things interesting.

No that was in the middle of the process. Had one new installed and one old removed in that photo

 

That's a shitty job...

 

Finally got around to installing the stealth bumper I bought 2 years ago.
