What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Are you in Loveland CO? Looks like Boyde Lake track.

 

Fellers,

Where is the cheapest place to purchase Plasti Dip (or anything like it)? I want to get some gunmetal grey for my decals/anything chrome to match my wheels. Please let me know, and thanks!

 

Installed the door sill protectors! A bit tricky to get the gold over to stick tho

 

Dipyourcar.com has good prices and great videos on YouTube

 

To answer your questions you asked me earlier on my profile:

"I do not see the Icon Stage 2 extended travel kit just the Stage 2 on DO website. How many inches of lift did you achieve? Mpg loss with 275s? Sluggish?"

They don't have it on their site. But if you call in they can specify them for you. They don't achieve anymore lift than the standard icon coilovers. They allow you to acquire an extra 1/2 inch of down travel because a spacer is removed internally compared to the standards. They are not anymore expensive but they do recommend UCA's with the extended travel because the extra down travel can cause contact between the UCA and coil spring. I do not have UCA's yet but will probably get them down the road. I was able to get my alignment within specs. Comparing my truck to another guys who has a 3" spacer lift on his truck I got between 2-2.5" of lift in the front. If you want they can be cranked up more but they don't recommend it. Power still feels good and I would like to give you an accurate answer on the MPG but I really have not driven the truck yet to know for sure. I will try put some miles on the truck this weekend. The KO2 tires I went with are a 10 ply E rated tire so they are a heavy tire. You could go with the Nitto's and save some weight if you are worried about it. I like the way the 275 tires look. I did not want to have to trim running the 285's like others are. I will post some more pictures of my truck later after work if you'd like. I hope I have answered your questions.

 

Thanks

 

Look at some pics online. I like the anthracite plasti dip much better.

 

Thanks! That bed rail mount looks solid. What is few things you don't like about this product?

 

Here are a few more pics. Only ended up using one screw b/c with all 3 the angle was a bit off and the lid would not close all the way. could flip the divider around and redo it but it works.

 

Added the BakFlip G2 last night to my truck. 6' Bed model. Went in easy enough. Can't report on waterproof characteristics yet, but I love how it looks and operates. Hurrah for tax return season!

 

Looks good. I've been waiting for my console vault for quite some time now. This might be a stupid question but would it be easier to draw if the holster were mounted on the other side of that pocket?

 

No Sir. Utah!

 

That's one very cool, impressive wrap and garage too

 

If you're running 275's with stock suspension I would expect rubbing. I have a Boss lift & 275's and had rubbing after my first alignment. Had caster adjusted to 3.5/3.6 and now no rubbing under compression.

 

No it would have to be reversed b/c of the index finger release on the holster. If I would have moved it one spot closer to the driver seat i would have had to drill into the console its self. like it is now is like having it on your hip. very easy to get to

 

2 out of my 5 tires arrived today!

 

That's really cool! Does it lock so that the gas canisters can't be stolen?

 

Nice. I think I'm going with Duratraks. What size you go with? Standard 265/65 or bump it up to 265/70?

 

265 75 16 Load Range C, discount tire direct is doing that $100 off 4 tires right now on ebay and you can get 4 shipped to your door for $676!!
