What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Mocked up my hi-lift and Tredpro mount for the savage rear swingout.

Gonna fav up some properly spaced studs out of the spare, so the hiLift isn't into the spare sidewall. This is just a "rough draft". Before grabbing hardware and making a permanent version.

I'll eventually mount a jerry can or rotopax setup in the void on driver side. May move the shovel down and incorporate it as well-it's definitely catching air up there and costing mpg at speed.


Sent from my iPhone, so probably some stupid typos and autocorrects
 
Re tapped all skid plate nuts to m8x1.25. Got rid of those terrible OEM skid plate bolts and used the bolts off the running boards with bigger washers.
 
Ordered me up a bunch of stuff. Set of 285 Duratracs because they were on sale at Crappy Tire. Not sure if I'll stick with them though, I have concerns about their weight. But, for $900 I can always turf them to someone else in town if I change my mind.

Also ordered my fuse panel from 4-ripcord!

It's going to be a fun summer!
 
Are those headers for the 3.4L or the 2.7L ?
They look really nice!

They are for a 3.4. Found them on EBay. They are a Chinese version of the TRD header for the 5VZ. The seller listed them as fitting 99-02.
If you search 5VZ header on EBay, there are a few versions available. I seen a set they look like Thorly headers for a little over 2 bills.
 
Thanks



I'm in the Vallejo/Napa area, about 45 minutes from SF



Hiddy ho good neighbor
I'm in Napa also.
Been seeing a few runners pop up as of late
Also been seeing two in Benicia one on level 8s
And another on icon suspension
Also just noticed one in Napa with a T4R sticker and an American flag sticker in the hood.
 
Stopped by my local stealership to grab a new bolt for my AC belt tensioner. Grabbed the idler pulley on Amazon for 25 shipped and the bolt to adjust the tension today for 1.11. I stripped the head last fall and its been squealing like a pig lately. Once I get a break from school work I can replace this finally and build my tire carrier... Ive got finals next week and Ive been collecting parts for almost a month to get things done.
 
Jacked it up, pulled the skid plate, and drained the front diff.

Pulled out 3 broken teeth and a lot of metal shavings :(

Gonna have to order a used one from the interwebz. Would go locker but I've got most of my funds funneling into my Supra R154 swap at the moment.

Good luck COB. I'd be interested in a couple of pics of the Supra swap when it is finished.

I have to ask though just how bright is that Dewalt spotlight while working under cars? My cousin is a facility maintenance guy and has one; that sucker puts out one bright throw.
