98 Limited Build

[hoksibish]

Got my 98 3rd gen in Aug of 18. Since then I have made a few changes and addressed maintenance that was lacking. Did a tune up and have replaced several OEM parts that were needed like bushings, CV's, lights, etc.

Current Suspension
Bilstein 5100 front and rear
OME springs
Front Diff drop (we will see if that helps with CV boots)

Current Add ons
Hilux 167 snorkel
Awning
Few 3d Printed Parts
1st gen roll bar
99 center console mod
weather tech mats
LED dash, hvac controls and floor shifter

Nice Truck!

Really dig the 3D printed parts. What was your process for creating them? Was it a lot of trial and error or were you able to create accurate models ahead of time?

Was that cup holder replacement meant to hold a specific type of bottle/cup? I absolutely hate the stock flimsy cup holders that Toyota made from gosh, 87 to 98? Totally useless. Wondering what the use of the new one is for that you made.

Cup holder mod looks like from an 00-02, they hold anywhere from 8oz cans to giant slurpee oversized cups, quite flexible and sturdy. Excellent mod.

Oh, I should have been more specific. I didn't mean the cup holders on the e-brake area, meant the one in the dash above the climate controls that he had 3D printed. I agree though, that is one of the better swaps you can do! I went a different route and bought one of the add-on cup holders that a member on here was 3D printing for a bit and goes on the side of the trans shifter, also very handy.

I was able to print things that others had posted HERE for the truck.

THe cup holder above the climate controls was designed by dylan77 on Thingiverse. It was designed for any tapered cup. I really like the design and the fact that it makes zero noise is a huge bonus HERE is a link to it specifically

Yeah I did the swap from a 00 for the center console mod. I was at the salvage yard for another reason and was able to pick up all the bits needed for less than $10!
