What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Looks good, what exact lights are you using? Any pics from the side?

 

Thank, a friend who works in parts for a truck company gave me those prices, that was his ball park estimate. He said I was capable of installing them, but getting the electric and the right adjustment on the steps can be a bitch and that's one reason for the cost of installing them. Just wonder about snow causing problems. Saving up my money and hopefully by spring they will be on.

 

made them myself too. theres are tutorial somewhere, I'll try to find the link

found it.

I know people with platinum F150 s do have issues in snowy salty conditions

 

Looking organized.

Out of curiosity, where can you place the jack without ripping things up?

Nice how much yours cost you?

 

i ended up going with the mid hoop as i have one of Jerry's (BAMF) grills and want the toyota visible so i went with the added protection while still allowing the grill to shine option lol

 

6" KC pros I think, not real sure on the exact model.

 

Snow and slush definitely won't be a good thing. I am in Wisconsin, so I will know soon enough. Try to keep them cleanedoff asuch as possible, I guess. Or we could always sell everything except our trucks, and move south! Oh wait, I forgot Global warming, no worries about snow or ice! Lol

 

Ok TW starting to find the direction I'm going with my lift/tires/wheels

Here's what I'm thinking

Front: 5100 Bilstein set at factory w/ OME 885 coils for ~2.5" lift
Rear toytec AAL for ~1.5" lift

Wheels: ATX AX199 Mojave 2 satin black (16x8 6x139.7 0 offset)

Tires: Falken Wildpeak A23W 265/75R16

considering doing bilsteins in the rear as well

What yall think?

 

Got my truck (after waiting a few weeks) today after finding it sitting in a lot at the rear of the dealership since yesterday.
So Far Today:
Dealer installed my black overlay kit for the emblems/tailgate
Tint shop added 30% to back/rear and 15% added to front
I installed the 2017 Pro grille in under 15 minutes

Next Project:
I just noticed dealer added pin striping sometime between yesterday and today. Got to get that off. :-( I hope it will just peel off
Add MGM rear bumper caps/covers to remove the chrome
Installing more aggressive tires

 

Oil change at 600mi, because why not..

 

$269

 

That is some serious motivation for me. I am trying to decide between long travel or just a really good mid travel set up for my brand new DCSBOR. Could you post some details about the rear spring and shock set up as well? Is there any body lift? Beautiful truck! Thanks in advance.

 

best color option imo, though i do like the cement on the pro.

 

nice tint by the way too. i was thinking of going 50% rear and 20% front, but i like your look. do they match pretty well?

 

Clayed and sealed. Ready for road salt.

So, they added pinstriping after the deal was done? It comes off easy, but I'd be like WTF?

 

What did you seal with?
