What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

yes, there is only supposed to be one

 

yeah I removed them, too cold in NY to do them on the truck, and I was tired of looking at the crome.couldnt wait for the warmer weather , that's when the bike comes out

 

With plasti dip you don't have to tape everything off whatever excess spray u have just peels off. Even inside the A and O! Just for future reference little easier to work with than actual spray paint

 

hell i left it in the holes of the letters. But i can pull that off with a black truck.

 

So here they are guys, it's dark out so I'll get better prictures outside tomorrow but here are some shots.

Old steel wheels:


Comparison front to back:


With all 4 new wheels on:

That's the link to a thread that I used for my LEDs. Part numbers are included and it's a cheap mod that works great. You will hear some folks talk about blowing fuses, flickering lights, etc but I have none of that with these. FYI that the dome light mentioned is too long so most downsized one or two mm in length.

 

Installed a @Pelfreybilt aluminum front skid today. Spent the last few days prepping it. Fits like a glove! Can't wait to give it some character.

 

OK, new question: lets talk Skids. I have a TRD OR with the factory skids - 2 pieces. I smashed the hell out of them last weekend - both of them. If you really look at them, they are made of really thin metal. I don't think they are designed to protect against rocks, maybe loose gravel and mud.

Anyway, whats the best option for new skids? I want great protection and of course, great price. I spoke with Relentless Fabrication. They are nice. They offer a 1 piece replacement for the stock 2 piece. Thee heavy duty option is 1/4 steel. Anyone know what the stock skids are made of? just for comparison? Thanks for any talk on this.

 

Funny. We literally posted at the same time... my answer to your question. Look above your post. Me happy.

 

Your giving yourself a headache by taking them off lol. I did mine the same way in video and was super easy...

 

Those 265's fill your wheel wells so nice! I'm also digging the bronze TRD Beadlocks. Was looking into the gray's for my MGM but may consider the bronze now

 

Messed around with crawl control and 4lo in some rutted dirt

 

Thinking about getting these rims, what you think? 18x9 -12

 

Installed the Gator FX3. Thanks to all the tips on here, the install went pretty well. Liking the nice flush fit. Seat covers next..

 

They will but its easier to get a better deal going to the original dealer. They will want to add on transport fees

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks man!!!

 

Mine were the same and I thought the same as well, I couldn't remember if my '13 was like that

 

Thanks, I rolled around under there looking for a while and searched online.. Then just went ahead and bolted them on. Real easy install, one 13mm socket and a toreq wrench.

 

I wasn't happy with the height of the Lund side steps, so I fab'd up some 2" extensions. Much better. Now my girlfriend and I feel like we are climbing up into the truck, not up then back down.
