What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Virgin here, be gentle

Day 1



New shoes and side steps

 

Nice! Did you dip the hood scwoop?

 

Not unless Plasti-dip came out with a carbon fiber application. Looks like vinyl wrap to me!

 

1.25 inch spacers installed

 

http://www.suspensionconnection.com/53910-uni-ball.html has anyone used this/have reason not to? I've never lifted a vehicle before and trying to learn the "do's and don't s"

 

Didn't even think about that since I've rarely seen it in real world application, but vinyl would seem to be the easiest way to do it.

 

No dip, vinyl wrap. Main reason I did it was to knock down the glare on the hood scoop

 

I guess it does look like carbon fiber. I'm looking at it on my phone and didn't zoom in. Thanks

 

Yours is for the jack that comes with the truck, his is for a floor jack which jacks from the rear diff or front nipple.

 

Roger. Afterthought had to remember back to high school auto shop days. You all remember.... Small block Chevys with 202 ported and polished heads, Eldebrock high rise manifold with Holley four barrel carb. Header exhaust.
Sorry I digress.

 

TIS

 

They fit well. I had the external ones on my 2010. These are low profile and closer to the window. In my opinion they will not let as much air circulate as the others but I did have the windows down an inch or so and took it to the dealer and they ran it through the touchless carwash. There wasn't a drop of water on the inside.

Said fuck it and shaved my calipers down a hair today. Wheels fit perfectly now.

 

nice work on getting those wheels to fit, how did you shave the Caliper down? grinder?

Edit- can't type today..

 

Glad to see you got them to fit! Your not running your wheel spacers anymore?

 

My wheel takes about 30 to take off or put on. It's a thru axle so it literally only screws in so far and stops. I've tried tie-downs before, but you have to be careful to not tighten them too much and warp the wheel. Also, with front suspension and squishy mountain bike tires. You think you have it tight, but then it shifts during a turn and is no longer tight.
