What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Fastest way to get backhanded in my truck. I don't have many passengers, maybe that's why.

 

I looked at this after reading the comment directly above, and almost went there (That's what she....)

 

I didn’t even bother dealing with Toyota because I didn’t want to fight with them when they give me the standard "could not replicate the problem" answer. The energy suspension bushings will definitely hold up better than what Toyota is using anyways. I am glad they at least fixed your 1 side.

 

So you're telling me that after 12,000 miles that bushing looks like that. If that's the case, the core support would have to be moving inches. Is there a TSB on this or is the information on here somewhere.

Every warranty issue was a fight with them. Their first "repair" for the bushing was greasing the sway bar links. Squeaked all the way home. I had to make videos to get things done. Even when my tire sensors went bad they fought me. Glad to be done with Toyota dealers. I agree you have better bushings. That is what I will install myself if one fails again.

 

Great mods just keep coming.....................I like the idea of the battery on the cross board.

 

That sucks. I will make sure to check them on my truck. My truck is close to 25k miles.

I plan to have that installed on mine. I like it in black. Maybe I leave it as the way it is.

Yep time to remove those badges on yours

 

Thanks Scott. I did not want to drill holes in the bed bottom. I'm just not convinced that this is the final place where it goes. I'm a drag racing fabricator and I've seen batteries thrown from wrecked cars so it needed to be sturdy. I'd like it to be a lower center of gravity, but for now, it's not going anywhere without a 70mph rollover. Lol

This is going to be a long shot. but check the bracket by the Radiator
I had a less notable squeak similar to it.

Did you just use this kit?

$36 Energy Suspension- 9.4101G UNIVERSAL MOUNT

I am still in the planning stage for my rear battery in the bed......................trying to come up with the best option and think of all the variables before doing anything.

 

It was the radiator support mount bushing that they replaced 4 years ago. Misaligned at assembly.

 

Winjet Raptor Tail lights?

Yup. That’s the one.

 

So I ran the wires down the inside of the engine compartment beside the battery, used a wire coat hanger to punch a hole through the wiring grommet to the inside of the truck, then ran the wiring to a new switch that I put in where a blank space was available. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Hi...what mount did you use? I have the same extinguisher mounted in the bed.
