What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Picking up my 17 today

 

Painted underside of hood . I used liquid nails a little over a week ago to stop my hood flexing and it is fully cured now. Worked great . Also did the AirCond. drain tube mod.
Thanks out to
Uptown2k for the write up and idea !

 

To prevent the passenger and rear mat from moving. I sew velcro to the back of the mats so that it will stick to the OEM carpet. Works perfectly. Simple and easy fix ;-)

 

I thought that I sent you a PM, sorry if you haven't received it.
My pleasure, I did not need the TechStream, even though I had it on my laptop. Once you are done wiring (plug&play), roll down a window, lock all the doors with your remote or the door handle, put your remote (key) at least 15 feet away, wait ~30 seconds, then unlock one of the doors from inside (from a roll downed window). Enjoy the alarm sound! You are done.

 

Has anyone taking off the fuel door. I have to send my A.R.E canopy back with the fuel door to get the correct color match for mgm. Also I understand there are rivets somewhere in the process of taking it off. I haven't taken a close look at it yet,Just seeing if anyone has done it ?

 

You know what's funny, it must be a wife/gf thing. I asked my wife to help record where my tires were rubbing so that I could see and she just didn't quite get what she was supposed to record. Eventually got it, but it was a cold shoulder kind of night afterwards.

 

Today - well today I was embarrassed in my 3rd Gen.

 

So do the steps bolt to the rocker panel or the frame?

 

Rocker panel

 

I like how they mount closer to the door. My old factory running boards were pretty low.

and, go Pokes!

 

Yeah, it's one of those things where you think.....why can't there be a mod button for them too! Lol

 

I thought about using my headgear GoPro mount and putting an orange dot where I wanted her to look. But that probably would've turned into a week long cold shoulder.

 

Agreed. I simply unplugged the harness leading to the lights, they were way too bright. The gear indicator shows in the center display anyway.

 

this is awesome but not for $689

Arsenal light bar

 

Well after a long weekend in my garage, a case of beer, and some mild frustration, I got my suspension goodies installed. Wheels and tires went on yesterday. Pumped how it all came out, and I'm gonna go test it out in Barstow this upcoming weekend









DK uppers, 2.5 Icon Ext travel RR coilovers, 2.5 Icon RR rears, Icon leaf pack, DK diff drop, 16" method mesh 0 offset, 285/75 Toyo ATIIs.

Pretty happy how it came out. Had to lose the front flaps with 2" of threads showing to prevent rubbing but no CMC was needed. Hopefully it remains that way as the suspension continues to settle.

 

Where did you get the switch for the light bar? The one that came with my light is too big

 

Very interesting!

 

Jesus Christ, you've got Terminator parts in your truck!

 

Damn! Did you happen to check out what size tire he was running?





Got my 20k service done today... I only have 9000 miles on my truck but i don't feel comfortable going 10k between oil changes...

Also got the leaf springs lubricated... I'll see how long that last...


I'm thinking I'll go with the HS 3 leaf AAL and 5100 with 887s and LR UCAs.... Gonna take me a few months to save for it though... By January... Then the tires come next... By next January and new wheels somewhere around 2019-2020...

The day i finish it a hurricane will drop a tree on it. I'll cry... And start all over.
