What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good. Where are they from?

 

Yeah the upper ones were a bitch. The best way I found for the forward most one was to actually go from the outside and look underneath the frame rail. I could get a wrench on it there. Also keeping the clips on while you loosen, then taking them off after it's disconnected seemed to work for me.

 

What I just finished doing. Thanks TW.

 

The 5100 have an extra 2" (I think) of droop compared to the stock shocks. So if you don't extend the rear brake lines then at full droop you could be really pulling on them. Since I was already going to have to bleed them for the rears I decided to upgrade the fronts to stainless lines at the same time.

 

I wonder if they even have 805 in GA? It just started being more common up here in WA and is my favorite when I am back home in SLO

That's a good question. Hopefully they at least have Fat Tire Ale.

 

Nice! Like your lift and wheels. Are you changing out the fender flares? I went for the vinyl stickers over the plastic inserts. I like them both but I had more faith in my ability to get them on straight with a wet application on the vinyl.

Gotta love the quicksand.

 

Not today, but finally got my suspension upgraded thanks to some good friends in the area.

 

Looks really good.

You've got the cleanest 3rd Gen I've seen in ages......just look at that rear glass !!!!

Those look really good.

Loving the 3D aspect of those letters. When I bought my SR5....it came down to two finalists.......the black.....and the Quicksand.


I've often rethought my decision. I really like the QS.

Oh yeah......we have Fat Tire Ale available at almost every grocery store.




Never seen the 805 suds, though.

 

Where did you get it and how much? I need one but don't want to pay over 100$ for it.

 

I like a little rake rather than a nose up, but yeah, you'rs is just a tad high in the back. I'd give it a few months... I bet it will settle in.

 

Looks good to me. I like the silver/gray wheels with MGM.

 

No 805?

 

finished 887 and rear aal install, tinted fogs, shackle mount up front

 

HAHA exactly!

 

That single shackle would drive me nuts. I'd have to figure out a way to balance it on the other side. For the same reason of this guy...

Thanks man. I already did change it. Just broke a few clips and ordered them from Toyota. So had to pop them back out

 

its unsafe to snatch from the driver side in case the cable snaps..i also like the look of a single shackle up front, the front of my truck is not a face so i am ok with the lack of symmetry.

 

Combined with the new leaf pack, I felt like there was a mile more droop. So much that I couldn't re-attach the e-brake guides until the truck was off the lift and under it's own weight. Still a bit concerned about the amount of tension the e-brake line has during extension.
