What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

my butt dyno must need a re calibration then. I'll give it time.

 

Sure!

Offroad will always be more truck for the buck over a Sport, go with the Black Offroad!

 

Yup...the bed is actually a composite type fiberglass...harder than I thought to drill through...the screws are a sheet metal type only about 1” or so...if they get loose I’ll upgrade to some nuts and bolts.

 

Just got this bad boys in from Accutune. Rear Fox 2.5 with reservoir DSC. Fluid Film coated I have done. Still waiting on the front versions. Install date yet TBD.

 

Eventually I'll get some really cool mods, but until then here is another. Since the Sport doesn't have a traditional tow hook, I picked up this Gator-Jaw Soft Shackle. In the event I get stuck, it's a really slick way to attach a recovery strap.

 

I watched paint dry.

 

Put on the cement Tufskinz on my pro grill. Like the look and seems like a quality product. Time will tell

 

Watching Barrett Jackson on TV and saw a 1983 Toyota 4x4 SR5 go for over $50K! Looks like time has arrived for these trucks. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1983-TOYOTA-SR5-4X4-PICKUP-221930

 

Was it a frame off resto-mod?

 

It look like it, it was so sweet. Just like the 80's again for me.

 

Frame off means that they took the body off of the frame in the restoration process. Usually to be able to blast and paint and restore to factory condition or maybe modify something like the suspension. Resto-mod means to restore and modify. You usually end up with a vehicle that looks and or works as good or better than it was when it was brand new, not restored to exactly as it was brand new.

 

Added the faux TRD Pro grille and headlights from protuning. Took a gamble with the lights, but if they end up crapping out I’ll just do a retrofit because the housing looks killer

You're right. I didn't even think about it that way.

 

Got serviced today and had them do the TSB update. Only drove a few miles home but seemed much better. Taking a 4 day trip starting Sunday so that should be a good test. Also asked about the blower recall and was told there wasn't one on my vin. Guess it doesn't apply to all of the 2017 models.

 

Looks amazing bro!!

 

Not one bit! Honestly, I feel no power loss or vibrations on anything.

Darn too bad. They don't seem to clear the front wheel well. They attach in it instead of under it. My 285/70/17 tires would definitely rub on those.

I'm going to have to go with the more expensive Rokblokz, which attach differently.
