What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good. What tonneau is that?

 

Where did you get the driver pillar handle??

 

Of course they are that's why I'm hoping. I love the airdrop patch. I was with the 82nd.

 

New shoes for her, Black Rhino Stadium wheels 17x8.5 0mm offset wrapped with Falken Wildpeaks AT3W 285/70-17.

Update: with center caps on

 

Well, let me know how it turns out and if they don’t make it right, I will send you my airdrop patch.

 

From KTJO . She was selling them in this site but had a falling out. If you look up the handle, you’ll find her site. There’s also a thread on here for drivers side grab handle

 

Colorado Snow Dump last week

 

I have a bottle jack also but use the safe jack extensions and pad. https://safejacks.com/products/safe-jack-bottle-jack-recovery-kit-without-bottle-jack. Heavy duty and cheaper than getting an off-road floor jack, unless you have sliders or steel bumpers then you can use a hi-lift jack.

 

Yea I had those on paper included. It didn’t say in the Toyota leaf removal but it wasn’t about taking the pack apart either.

to update on my ubolt situation- the ome replacement wouldn’t even sit flat on the stock bump stop so I had to reuse the factory bolts (had 7 threads on each). Since I had the factory ubolt out I tested on the sumo springs and they wouldn’t sit flat either (maybe 1/8” but there was definitely a gap). I’ll have to contact both for the ubolts and sumos

 

Took this in progress shot. Took longer than expected which is why I was still working in dark. I screwed up by not lifting the frame high enough on the stands before dissembling everything so I was kinda stuck for a bit trying to slide aal/pin underneath. I fixed that on the other side and it went much smoother

 

The struggle is real.

 

I knew I recognized that place from the pics. I live just down the street. And I'm pretty sure I've seen your taco before since not many of us have the softoppers around here. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Fingers crossed it's not that bad.

 

Are they plug n play or do you need an adapter?

 

$285 normally, but I got 15% off and free shipping on sale from @Truck Brigade

 

I think so too. But with all things being equal, it's been a hard sell here in Mississippi. Lot of "hard liners" don't recognize the new flag. Which is fine. I get the arguments they make. 10-15 years ago, I sang those same arguments.

But it was time MS came into the 21st century. I'm no "progressive," but we are often looked down upon, butt end of jokes, and etc. However, maybe this way we can start to change that image just a little bit at a time.

 

Well update on KTJO driver side grab handle:

It FINALLY came in yesterday. Looks a little beat up. Of course, no thanks to USPS.



And my Suburu tweeters came in as well. Hoping to kill 2 birds with one stone this afternoon after work.

 

The new flag is nice but where did you find a place selling patches with state flags?

 

They are pretty common here in Vermont. I see 2-4 of them everyday on my way to the job. Tradesman like myself often go for them. Need the longer bed for tools and material, and don’t need to carry passengers. I didn’t want the longer wheel base of the DCLB

 

Pardon the uninformed, what is TQ?

 

Found it on Etsy. A seller named "Buckup Tactical."

Which is funny because it arrived on Friday. I get informed delivery from the post office for my PO Box. I was looking at the email that came and couldn't tell what in the hades was coming "Buckup Tactical" from NC. When I went and got the mail and opened it, it became obvious what it was. But it threw me for a loop for what in the world was coming from NC named "Buckup Tactical."

And I need to order a US flag as well. Prob be after next payday.
