What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I like the old school look of them also, but be careful as they may not be SRS/air bag compliant and can/will affect your/others in a wreck...

EDIT: I see in the picture that they look to be designed for SRS system... lol
Missed that the 1st go around...

 

Yep. they are airbag compliant.

 

Good to hear that. Can add to the third brake light and fog lights also. And perhaps to the dome light and dash.

 

went camping, then wireburshed/painted my sliders again. daughter and I are going offroad/tent camping in a few weeks with a couple jeep dads and their daughters. jeep fellas know all the good trails to off-road to remote camp sites

 

You pull those allpros off to brush/paint? Mine look bad but I’m not positive that I am ambitious enough to pull them… My results from scraping and painting while still installed have been less than desirable though

 

Looks like I'm getting the Dobinsons MRR kit, what is a reasonable price for my Bilstein 5100's It's on the third perch and running a factory coil, 11k miles on everything. I can also move the perch for anyone as I have a coil compressor.

 

noooo, too heavy - I put a wire brush on my impact, wedge a piece of cardboard between them and my doors so metal flakes dont fly onto the paint while I shoot off any surface rust, and then I just brush on rustoleum enamel stuff

 

I’m gonna have to get after this in the next month or two. Thanks for describing your process!!

 

I put it off for a while because I thought it was going to be daunting - its relatively quick and easy, looks good enough, not too concerned because I have to do it every year or 2 anyway - really freshens everything up, post before and after!

 

Make sure to rebleed the brakes after a week or two. You might only get a bubble or two out of them but the pedal on mine firmed up substantially. Come to think of it I need to re-bleed them as it's been about two years but I need to install longer rear brake lines (again, lol) so maybe I'll do that this weekend.

Once you've re-bled come back and tell everyone how they put you through the windshield compared with the factory stuff.

Enjoy!

 

Installed new rear tail lights that started to show alot of condensation.
Before

After

 

I have noticed some squishy feeling, so I think you're right. By the way, did you put limiting straps on the front? Thanks

 

very cool

 

No but I still have my kit from TMR if you want them. Send me a message I’ll send them for shipping costs.

New shocks don’t need limit straps

 

That's super generous of you. Thank you!!! I'll post back when installed.

 

Put a new to me FWC in my truck bed

 

Lookin good

 

Yesterday I Was going to spend the morning changing the oil in the Rear and front diff and the transfer case. After draining the rear the world started spinning. Tried to get up and fell. One of our guests saw me in the back parking lot and called my wife. Rash under both arms pits, burning throat, dizziness. Turns out one of the chemicals added to gear oil has adverse affects on my health. Friend is going to come over this morning and add 4 quarts and tighten up the plugs.

 

Holy Moly!

I'm glad you're OK!

Good to know this info and sorry you found out the unhealthy way.

Safety goggles, nitril gloves and an N95 mask should be used as a precaution--reminder to myself as well as TW.

 

Drove a half hour to meet a buddy (ride to work) and drop my truck off to have the leaking rear shocks replaced under warranty. Appointment has been booked for weeks, and was confirmed by text message from the dealership.

Arrived to be told that they didn't have the new shocks and had cancelled the appointment.....but forgot to notify me. Oopsie! Got a text on the half-hour drive back towards work, setting an appointment for 7 weeks later.

Thanks, Castlegar Toyota, you never fail to disappoint.
