What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed new headlights today

 

Rear brake stuff

 

Done a bunch of stuff the last 3 weeks. Just want to pass on this deal on Sumosprings . 200 all in. Use code workfromhome for an extra 25 percent off. SSR -612-40 .

 

That’s a good idea. And I was thinking wiring it to a switch in the truck even might be an idea. Switch on and unlock twice to open tailgate. So wouldn’t open when you unlock the passenger door every time you need the passenger door open in a parking lot

 

Great idea; that would be super easy! I have the gate lock as well as the topper lock and tapped the opener into those. It is a super simple mod.

 

That’s what I am thinking I have the Amazon tailgate lock taped in already and everything is ran just need to wire the tailgate opener and a switch. Hmmm think I found my next project lol

 

Too easy!

Thank you for the info! What do you mean? they are the same as 2nd gen.

 

Where did you get it? Looks amazing!

 

A couple days ago I hauled (11) 80 lb bags of Quikrete and besides from a little squat in the rear I didn't even notice they were back there.

 

Craigslist

 

Installed some color matched bumper caps. Cement is a hard shade to match!

 

But you make it look so easy!

Looks good. Did you paint them yourself?

 

Which lights are these that you installed?

 

Has there been any tests with Tacos as to any braking distance improvements by upgrading to rear disc brakes?

 

Love the new rubber!
Any rubbing or issues? How about speedo calibration, is that necessary for that small of a change?

 

Thinking about it, a spacer won’t help the place where it rubs on the front mud flap. When the wheels are turned hard to the side the corner of the flap that sticks slightly in to the wheel well makes contact. Rubs is maybe too strong of a word too, lightly brushes maybe? It’s the arc of the wheels turn that’s causing the rub not height.

In any event it’s going to look better once it’s lifted (2” front and rear). If it rubs less in parking lots, all the better.

 

Right, the purpose of the spacer for me is correct the "Taco lean" .

 

Added a Metal flag emblem in back to go with my Navy emblem and flag decal on sides.

 

Did you do a re-year? How's your mpg now?
