What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[SCRunner12]

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?

Thanks! I always liked the Tundra rims and 17's have better tire size options if I choose to switch it up in the future. Yeah the rims are going black. I actually like the stock color of the Tundra's, but I've committed to the black theme already. Plus I like black wheels.

Yeah I still have the Demello bumper sitting in my back yard. I need some fab help to mount it and might trade it for an All Pro winch bumper. I'm just going to hang onto it till I figure something out.

Damn, I woke up and saw that text. What did you hit?

I told you not to kick my dog!!




That sucks man what happened? Too bad though, you'll just have to upgrade

Made a left turn, there was water on the ground (i think from the sprinklers) lost all control, and went straight into the curb. Not really sure what I hit, but the bumper it all unaligned. It rubs the tire when you turn left. May have to replace it before I sell her. :crybaby:

Damn that sucks. Wouldn't have happened if you had a 4x4....j/k Glad it's nothing too serious.

:lmao: It sounds like there are some pieces missing to that story. The only way that could be possible is if it was a 15 year old girl who just got her permit and she was driving a newer pink volkswagen bug hahaha

So what really happened? (You had a pornstar in the passenger seat and you were running from the cops and after an hour long police chase through LA you pulled a Jason Bourne into a basement parking garage and barely tapped a pillar right?)

[MENTION=9139]steezemcqueen[/MENTION], is there a build thread for said Jetta?

hey look, it's link^^

we need you, link!

 

[pdx650]

P0446, p0116

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.

Found out, today, that I have two codes. 0446 and 0116:
P0446 Evaporative Emmission Control System Vent Control Circuit

AND the other

P0116 - ECT Circuit Malfunction Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Circuit

I hope they are an easy and quick fix.

 

[TRDteen]

Started work on the front bumper, and a fresh bath.

I have to ask why you want to sell it? Was the prom experience that bad in it? :crazy:

You can bet your bottom dollar any girl I let ride in my 4R will have a good experience :eyebrows:
But I really need a 4x4 to hit the trails that I want to go on.

 

[jmildoc]

Took out my center console with the non existent cup holders in preparation for a console with cup holders!!!!

I now see the whole elephant so to speak. 4wd is definitely needed for those off road excursions.

First of all Big HUGE thanks to Ben (SMKD) for pretty much installing everything for me while i held the flashlight at 2:00 AM lol. And also Huge thanks to Robert (SCRunner) for keeping an eye out for some coilovers for me.

We got the CV's done along with what is pictured, just gotta do the LBJ's eventually and of course align this pig ASAP!

I can't wait to test them out, even without the alignment i can tell the huge difference in the travel of the coilovers. I just ran into a few snags.
All this cause my trac light, abs and vsc light to come on (no check engine) I have no idea where to start form there, but I'll be searching here :shocked:

Also My ride height from the center of the hub to the fender is about 24" give or take a couple centimeters all the way around. is this too high for the front?

anyway, I'll be trying to get everything else done and cleaned up on Wednesday. I'll take some more shots!

 

[SCRunner12]

Sweet! Glad everything got installed and they look awesome. How's the ride difference? I'm at about 23-23.5" up front, but I can't seem to find any consensus of what is 3" up front or too high.

Could both of you measure how much you have the collar threaded down on each side? Like both of you, i have no idea how much lift i actually have and you both have the same setup as myself.
[MENTION=37079]GottaBeTRD[/MENTION] nice UCAs! We are like twins. arty:

 

[dhalsey]

You are going to love the icons. I am sitting 22 in front and it is perfect for my setup. You really need some speed to open them up and really see the magic. My next upgrade is the light racing jounce stop in the front.

Most stock 3rd gens are about 20 inches from hub to fender. I'm sitting at 25.5 which is about 3.5 with the body lift.
