What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Are you keeping Tyrone?

I think you love him...

Everything is for sale. The trick is to not fall in love with any of them. If you can do that, you'll notonly drive for free, you'll make money as you go. But I'll probably keep Tyrone for a little while and sell the green one when I'm done with the motor in it.

Not today but the last two and a half days. Icon coilovers. Camburg upper control arms. Tacoma lower ball joints and inner and outer tie rods. 99 tall coils in the rear. Ome shocks. Front and rear addco sway bars. And an alignment. The upper control arms kicked my ass pulling out the old ball joint and pressing in the new one.
 
Well damn!! All done installing the new (to me) lights, and the freshly painted grill. But now it just makes my ugly hood look even worse!!!

Oh well. I suppose it's a step in the right direction. Every chance I can get to improve this little rough fella - the better!!

Look into a bug shield it would hide the blemishes on the hood

That is my dream setup! Nice job man!
 
I ordered the parts to do my Steering rack guides today... picking them up tomorrow, maybe doing them over the next few days! :) THEN..... ALIGNMENT TIME!
 
Made some flares today because I could not justify $300 for some Bushwackers and factory limited flares are hard to come by. So I used some heavy rubber and an exacto knife to cut these out. Painted them with Rocker guard. I added a mud flap to the front flare and the rear one will have a separate mud flap attached to the bumper. I will have to take some more pics when they're mounted to the truck tomorrow as they are still drying. I will probably do a build thread soon as well seeing as my truck has undergone major upgrades. I may also do a writeup for these if enough people ask me about it.

Picked up some used treadwright 285/70/17s for a good deal this week. Rolled one up next to the runner to see how much bigger they were. Damn!
Tape measure puts them at 32.5", the ones on it are 245/70/16 and measured a hair over 28".

My 98' requires some rust treatment.... what do you use? I've heard of a product called Rust Bullet which turns the rust chemically inert and seals it. Have yet to try it.
