What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Those are rad! Total throwback. Where did you get em?

 

Yea they make you want to be a kid too.. some times too much so I've put myself in some harry situations over the years.

 

Not painted yet; but, I welded together a bed divider / jerry can mount rack.

 

This is a project I have planned too. To avoid making mistakes, how did you mou tthat to the rails? Just the standard slot nuts we have all been using in the rails? Also, any plans to put some mesh or other grid in there? Looks great, BTW!

 

Took it out for an adventure. Oh i installed a lab and an AR15 in the back seat too.

 

Got a website for that lab? Does he add HP, if so how much? Does the lab have a drone while in your backseat? I was thinking about installing a German Shepherd but after evaluating the fur factor i decided to switch to a Rottie. If I'm not satisfied with the Rottie I could always go back to the GSD since I have both.

 

Yeah, standard T-nuts. It bottoms out on the deck, because I was concerned about the rails taking the weight of two filled cans. It's rock solid. No rattle.

I don't think I'll do mesh because I want to have the ability to use the full length of the verticals as attachment points. May grid it with Nylon straps at some point though...

 

Good question on how much horse power the Lab adds. I have a lab mix so I am not sure how much HP a mutt adds.

 

What did you use to mount the .50 Cal can?

 

Flashback!! Those were the same colors as my then new 1982 SR5 toyota shortbed 4x4, that lil truck could squeeze through really tight spots.
Lots of memories in that bed..

 

Now just need some suspension

 

Added a Scosche Magic Mount Pro for my iPhone. Diggin' it so far.

 

We have the exact same combo. White and white though!

Explorer does it's job as family carrier, 3 kids getting bigger by the second drive me nuts when they all sit together in one row. 3 rows is a must for traveling anywhere but to the store!

 

Both great options to go with! I'm partial to the GSD because i run a mutt that has GSD mixed in there. They offer great performance and reliability!

 

Labs actually do -3hp but they add +10 morale and spirit! Well worth it.

 

Thanks, it was a pretty easy build. I've been putting it between the rear and front seats, on the floor. Once I get a shell on I'll put it back there. It's just convenient to have inside right now.

 

Took it for a day trip - 400+ miles - Avg speed from 60-90 mph. Got about 21 mpg on 87 octane. Now to clean off all the dead bugs

No plan yet. I've gone back and forth from something cheapish to going all out. Right now funds aren't even close so I'm trying not to get too excited. But yeah like you said, I'm pretty happy as she sits.
