What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

[RedRunner_87]

Cleaned out the interior. Previous owner liked to use the map pocket as a trash can. Looks sooo much better now. Got my TRD Sport decals in, meant to order the off-road ones but Sport will work as well.

I said Illl be back and post some pictures of a trail on ft lewis to go to the lake. I tried these and couldnt get up it. There was a 3 drops about 2-3ft and was just spinning with open diff. The one only had 2 but had deeper holes. I sidnt trt because wife didnt life the smell the tires made. Haha.. These are humvee training trails. There were a few more harder ones but its the only pictures I got.

Installed my awning, but the stock brackets are just a bit to low. I have to make another set before this weekend. Camping @ the Oregon Coast.

Sweet set up! What springs are you running in the rear? I really like the stance. I have 890's on right now, but have 8 wraps and 9 wraps in the garage... Trying to decide which ones to put on.

Going to flush and refill the coolant today and then finally put my lift on and start driving this thing again.

The sport ones are cool & the "4Runner" ones are even better, everyone has "off road'. I hate the ones with the mountains in the background...makes it look like a Coors Light can! LOL And Coors Light sucks!

Gonna do my first CV replacement today, I just re-did my whole front end so everything should come off easy. The rusted nuts were a big pain a few weeks ago.

Eventually I will put a Sport hood on it, so it will make sense. The mountain ones make sense in CO, but I agree not a huge fan of the design. Just ordered a bunch of cosmetic stuff for it. Hopefully in a week I can jump into, waiting for it stop raining. Then off to the maintenance items.

I snapped a lower ball joint bolt when reinstalling after the cv replace. Wasn't at 59 lbs yet

Used a clay bar and waxed... Also used a scratch remover that worked really well. I had so many scratches that I basiclally had to wax the whole truck with the scratch remover:violin:

Map Light

Found a 2nd Gen map light for my 96 base which came without one. Switched it to LED on the bench. Should be good and bright; draws less than 1/10 the power the old bulbs did.

Will install it at a later date.

7hrs later and the lift in my signature is finally on after sitting in my garage for 4 weeks. Not a bad project overall. Snapped the rear shocks off and sawzalled the rest out. Hardest part was getting the panhard bar back in. Can't wait to drive it considering the stocks shocks and springs had 218k on them. I'll get some pictures up tomorrow along with my build thread finally. Ended up getting about 4" all the way around. Should settle to around 3".

After thinking about for for about two years, I made this:



Into this:



And then drove around for a bit listening to the sound it makes. It gives me that feeling a kid making "vroom!" noises has when I goose it. My MPG is going to suffer terribly.

 

[cashmoney]

I want one.

 

[jkoni426]

Replaced the rusted out center section of the rear bumper with an aftermarket part from rock auto, and didn't need to remove the side pieces. Snapped the head off of 1 bolt and had to cut off a few nuts that were rusted so bad I couldn't get a socket on them. Also resprayed the hitch with rust reformer. Just needs a wash and polish as the bumper was shipped with some kind of oil or film on it, I'm guessing a rust inhibitor maybe so I left it on the inside.

after:



Also found a set of oem Stanley fog lights on cl so I'll be putting them in next. Just waiting on my new turn signal stalk (with integrated fog light switch) and relay.

Happy 4th to yall. Enjoying my weekend @ the Pacific Ocean. Long Beach, WA

Wish that was me on the beach �� Instead, I pulled my spoiler and roof rack, repainted everything, and put it back together with new rubber washers and silicon, found a bit of rust under where the spoiler attaches to the rear hatch, dealt with it and also upgrade the high brake bulb to LED, now time for fireworks. Happy 4th to all!

Happy 4th!

Plastidipped the rest of my front bumper to feel out the all black look. Perhaps I'll paint it soon.
