What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If you look underneath on your truck you'll see two bolts that are basically in line with the license plate bolt holes. but just a little farther out on both sides, those bolts hold the Front bumper skin to the frame. I took two L brackets (like 3' dy 3' L brackets, The kind that hold up small shelves in your house ) and used those existing bolts on the truck put on the L brackets. One part of the L faced towards the back of the truck with the bolt going through that part, the second part of the L face down towards the concrete, and that is what the license plate mounted to. Then i marked 2 new holes on the license plate, drilled the plate and mounted it.

 

Let me know how much brighter they are. I am thinking about doing the same.

 

are those the 9 or 11 inch? I have 11s at home I still need to install

 

I put 5 coats on the wheels, grille, and badges 3 months ago and they're still fine.

 

FedEx finally found my 4th wheel after a week

 

11s from the top to the bottom

 

think you can link a pic? I'm a much better visual learner.

 

So here it is, final results and mounting pictures of the Morimoto Elite 35w HID system (5500k) and Direct-Fit XB Type T Fog Lamps from The Retrofit Source.

 

what? They only come in 9x15 and 11x19. Which one did you get?

 

sorry. i was eyeballing the size, they are the 9x15s.

 

Looks great really liking the headlights! What tires did you end up going with and any more photos?

 

Love it!

 

What tint level did you do? Mine goes in tomorrow for limo in back and 20% or 35% on the front two, unless I change my mind and just have them do the front 2 windows, pffft. Since I keep alot of equipment in my vehicle, I want it dark as possible. Sucks ass to back up at night but the backup cam and some led pods in the rear bumper will help

Your truck looks sweet with the lift and 265's.. I am trying to enjoy driving mine stock for as long as I can but will probably lift in the spring. Thanks, J.

 

I also had a rattle that was driving me nuts. It was around the map lights in the headliner. Of course the day of the apt it was totally quiet. I drove around with the tech for 15 min. He probably thought I was crazy. I kept driving off of curbs or anything to make it rattle....but nothing. Oh well, it must have fixed itself.

 

seeing out your windows is overrated...go for 0%.

Seriously, anything under 18-20% on the fronts are insane and looks cheap. Your not going to see in the vehicle easily anyways...why give up almost all visibility from the driver seat?

 

Agreed. Leave the back alone and ask them to match the front. Should be around 20%.

 

amps or ballasts?

 

Just derp your windows
