What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You can get it on eBay, Amazon, etc.

 

You can't tell!!

 

Pretty dissappointing. I also waited something like 6-8 weeks after i ordered and paid for it for them to get some brackets or whatever that don't fit anyway. The powdercoat job is alright, there are 1 or 2 spots where it is blemished. For $325 I was a little disappointed. I also did not get any instructions, but figured it was self explanatory. If they dont make this right I'll be looking into an SSO slimbumper. Cbi will never get my money again at this point.

 

Can you post a link to what you were supposed to get?

 

These are sexy. They might be a bit backed up at the moment due to them being in New Orleans, what with all the historic flooding, but worth the wait.

Yea, just checked their website and sure enough it mentions the flooding. Bummer, hope they get back in business soon.

 

Just FYI, the lights are solid colors, the 'circulating' effect is from your camera having a rolling shutter and syncing with the refresh rate of the LEDs.

Totally normal.

 

The picture on the website is vague, and there is no description, but it looks like what i got. Where the bracket mounts to the frame just doesn't make sense.

What you cant see in the pocture is the point where the bracket contacts the frame in the are of the 2 visible bolt holes, the bracket makes a 90 degree bend towards the rear of the truck and has 2 holes in that part to secure it to the side of the frame rails. There are no holes in the frame rails there, and you can see why the 90 degree bend wont work here at the core support. This pelfrybuilt unit does not have the 90 degree bends

Yeah even if you wanted to secure it to the side, the body mount is in the way. Definitely something not right

 

Thanks for your help @sdsurfer ! Found the switch like you said on Amazon!

 

You are a scholar and a saint good sir. I'd have never known that or figured it out.

 

just sent you a message please read and let me know if you have any other questions...

 

Thanks!

 

Wheeled the shit out of it

 

OEM Audio install went well today. It took about 4 hours.

Going from the basic entune system to OEM Audio is an enormous improvement. Sound quality is excellent.

Pics below show a comparison between the stock speakers and the new OEM speakers. The difference in build quality is night and day. The stock speakers are light as a feather and cheap all the way round. The OEM speakers are solid.

 

Didn't do anything this weekend but noticed I have hella taco lean on the ass end.. Probably due to the rack and RTT.. I ordered 700# coils and I'm waiting on allpro to get the expo leaf pack back in stock.

 

What did the whole system run you? Did it come with a 4 channel amp for the 4 doors?

 

I believe there is a thread on it somewhere. Here is the page.

Could definitely do a lot better for $1500 but I suppose for someone looking for simple drop in, it does the job.

 

here is the link to the thread. Some good insight on the system. I'd consider it, but for 1500, there are more performance items I would rather have.
