What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I installed a front and rear hitch recently on my Gen 3 SR. Anyone have suggestions for a good wench mount? I've through about replacing the front end with a hidden wench, but seeings as I already have the from hitch and the Rough Country wench, I'd just buy a good hitch plate. The wench is a 9500lb synthetic, so I'm kinda worried a crap mount would buckle under the sheer stress.

 

13 gallon from ironman 4x4

 

Yeah... I wanna run skinny 33s... 255/80/17.... A true 33 E rated tire that's only 53 pounds..

But the wheels I want are 9" wide... Fuel beast 17x9 with -12mm offset...

The 255/80/17 Toyo open country AT3 says max wheel of 9".... But I feel like 9 inch wheels would be too wide on that tire.

Second wheel choice is fuel vector 17x8.5 with +7mm offset... Which would be better for those tires... But wouldn't make me as happy LOL

But getting wider tires comes with more weight and less height... Also wouldn't make me as happy. Damn. Everything has to be complicated.

 

Didnt physically do anything to it, but ordered some more stuff for Moab prep.
•did the bearings on my Fox coilovers the other day, and found out the misalignment spacers were worn aswell so ordered those.
•Ordered a transmission skid from Richochet Offroad, and they managed to ship it same day! Whereares every big name brand is 4+ weeks out on skid plates. Stoked
•Got a spare CV and some spare Tie Rods
• Still need to either find or have a spare rear driveline made so I have a spare

 

I noticed the dealer that I traded into listed my base 2018 TRD Off Road DCSB..... asking price just under $37k. I knew they'd ask a lot for it, but at that price i'd go buy a new one. I hope the new owner doesn't sniff the passenger seat too much.

 

Oh they’re definitely around. They might be silent now but they’ve been vocal about it before.

 

Had the cab mount relocated with a Lil B’S relocation kit!

 

I run the 33x10.5x17 Kenda Klever Rt, weigh in at a little-heavier 60lb per tire, but with vehicle weight they are measuring 32.8" with a normal street pressure on a 17x8.5 wheel.

 

As if Meso has something I need in stock. lol.

But good to know the plan will work. I think I may tackle this one this weekend as I'm going on a road trip the following weekend and would like to have my actual phone mount usable.

 

just got mine. My MPG took a hit and I’ve got a little rub, but hey it’s part of hit ‍♂️

 

Ordered my OME 2" suspension lift kit today! Can't wait. It's on backorder. After talking to the guy at the 4x4 shop I decided to get light duty. Then I looked it up and it said not to get light duty if you have an aftermarket front bumper. "Oh no" I thought, thinking aftermarket bumpers made for bumping are cool while I really don't like painted bumper covers that get scratched. Then I thought about it "A beefier suspension to accommodate the front bumper? How much weight do I want to add to my daily driver?" This OME suspension may be answer I'm looking for to quit spending money on my truck! Seriously, I live in the city, it's my only car, love the look of the Tacoma, and ones that look like they could conquer all, but have never done any real off-roading, even though I'd like to. But I don't think I could do it often as there's nowhere to go that's real local. So I'll try to keep mine light, more for show, but can handle some real off-roading when called on to do so. I thought the new 17" rims with the beefy tires looked kind of squished in front, though it wasn't rubbing. Can't wait to see how it looks with the lift.

 

I'm kinda in the same situation. I'm sort of in the city just barely, there are only a few place to off road, some more than an hour away unless you can get permission to use private land.
It's my only vehicle and I'm going to tow with it too.
I love the look of a lift but 2" is pretty good. I did the same with the Jeep I used to have. If you don't go crazy with big tires it should still daily drive fine. I don't think I'm ready to lift mine yet.

 

A wench is a lower class working woman. I think you mean winch.

 

"I'm not a winch, I'm your wife."

 

Any luck getting it back on?

 

Called the Toyota dealer today to have them warranty the grill as the paints peeling and flaking off already at two years old and 21000 miles

 

stock suspension? Can we get a side shot?

 

Even chrome hates itself

 

Coilovers/dakar leafs. And over stock I think Im at 1.5" in the front, and maybe 1" in the rear.

 

How is it up there after the fires etc? Been wanting to make a trip up there, possibly this year.
