What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I did the same thing. Makes my 3 inch lift look like a 4 inch lift!

 

All about that extra inch

 

Parts list?

 

Not at all. It was a very easy install. Everything fit perfect.

 

The coils were mistakenly set on the highest notch of the 5100s initially. I rode around with that setup for about 2 weeks. It was very stiff and I was regretting the lift. Then I had the 3-leaf aal installed in the back and there was a drastic improvement in ride quality. After another 2 weeks I had the oils set to the bottom notch of the struts and it was another drastic improvement in ride quality. It is comparable to stock but better. I'm very happy with this setup. I gained about 1-1/2" overall.

 

Thank you! She's riding great

 

I will definitely post results. I hate chasing down any weird noises! If this does resolve the issue I’ll be stoked! Then I won’t need to slow down for those pesky speed bumps!

 

Sweet!

 

Did a few things this week: TRD Pro Grill, Window Tint (30%), Bed Mat, and flag magnets (because America).

 

Looking good! Welcome to TW!

 

I had a loud squeak whenever I would go over bumps or get in or out and this was due to the sway bar making contact with the coil.. The relocation kit fixed that and I haven't heard any strange noises since.

 

Thanks for the feedback! That’s very encouraging! I hope this resolves the issue!

 

Looks electric! Definitely not matching. If you cannot find the solution with Plasti-Dip, how about going with a paint? Rustoleum Paprika is the closest I know.

 

To me - Funny the V6 looks hideous but the Tacoma side badge looks OK if you really like the hot inferno look.

 

I actually think it looks pretty good!! I would leave it, but again, partial or Orange (Nation)!!

 

Sounds good. Glad the ride improved. Thanks

 

Duplicolor "Perfect Match Premium" fast drying acrylic lacquer. Google their site, put in your vehicle information and it will give you an exact color match for all new and most late model vehicles. The right color the first time, no trial and error. Their products are "specifically designed" for automotive use and they offer a wide range of automotive coatings not just paint. Available at most auto part and big box stores as well as on line and Amazon.

 

I’m also a Steinbeck fan. I assume you’ve been to the Steinbeck Museum in Salinas. If not, it is worth seeing if you’re in the area.

 

But sadly, no 1H5 Cement Grey.

Mine came in a couple days ago, but it will be weeks before I can get to it

 

If you have a Pep Boys or similar auto parts store I'll bet if you go look in the Duplicolor paint rack you'll find (color is on cap) something pretty darn close and it's an actual automotive finish. Your color will be available eventually but when is eventually .........., who knows.
