What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Took it in for a motovac, then did the oil and replaced the plugs. With all the engine cleanup and maintenance, it runs like a different engine from when I bought it. 212k and it runs smooth. Love this engine.
 
Let's see.

New steering rack from Safari Limited
OEM outer tie rods
OEM lower ball joints
OME 3" lift
LR UCAs - tomorrow

This week will be wheel bearing for passenger front and drivers rear. Then gotta do my 1" body lift too.

Finally finished my lift today. I'll get pics up soon when I start my build thread.
 
Just bought some Superflex coils from a TTORA member and hoping to sell my BFG's and get my new to me 33's installed on my Tundra rims. Then maybe a little bit of plasti-dipping for now. Pictures to follow later if it all works out.

Boom and they are on! Sold the BFG's and Raceline, bit sad as I really liked that combo, but I couldn't handle the issues I was having with the tires. Plus I saved $250 by going with my current set. Now I'm riding on Tundra 17's with 285/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Much less vibrations, but they howl a bit. Plasti dip or painting will be done tonight or in the next two weeks.

Also SantaCruzRunner came by and I bumped his Donahoes since he didn't have a spanner wrench. That was a pain since his were at stock height to begin, but its looking good now. Time for a nap.

Now for the pictures...oh yeah!




Distance between tire and UCA without spacers. Fits but barely.





The aftermath of the coilover adjustment. Damn cotter pin on the UCA caught me twice.

 
Yours was the cat/o2 sensor codes, right? Didn't you replace one of the o2 sensors?

The code was P0505 Idle air control valve. I fixed that problem by replacing the Throttle body/Throttle position sensor/Idle air control valve all as a one piece set. I have not checked the new code yet since it came on just today.
 
Well its technically a 3rd gen....

I liked it before but it looks so much better! Painting as in painting the wheels black?

Also, I can't remember... do you still have that tube bumper or did you get rid of it?
 
Took out my busted 6k HIDS and put in my new 5k's. Damn you DDM!!! Color looks a lot cleaner and more practical for sure.

Projector retrofit is still on my list in the future though for sure. (post college graduation)
 
Ordered a 21.5" LED light bar from Amazon. I've already got an email that said it shipped, with a estimated arrival date of August 5th, lol. WTF?
