What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@CBoy808

 

From what I've read, most people rub when they go to 285's. I'm just doing it for peace of mind. I don't know if I need too, but I do go offroading one in a while and I would rather not chance any rubbing issues. My 265's don't rub at all by the way.

 

Had the truck 9 days and decided to wax it

 

Put a Truck Gear FRP cover on it about a week ago. Happy with it, especially since it's low profile.

 

Awesome. I will definitely use that video. I have been waiting. I have the center piece ro switch out my switches to 5 but just haven't wanted to take the time to figure it out. I'll look for your video.

 

I have no rubbing with 285/70/17 with a zero wheel offset. Even in the dunes nothing.

 

.....

 

Always happy to help. I'm on shift tomorrow, so perhaps Sunday I can get some time to tear my truck apart. On the other [left-]hand [side of the dash], I got my ML-ACR remote switch to fit a little more happily with a little dremel work.

 

And you can sell your sr5 grille to offset the cost.

 

Just an FYI if you can't wait or don't need a video, this guy has a quick write-up on the disassembly:

Installed my Demello bumper today finally! Sorry for the crap pics, but that's all I have for now. I'll probably throw my winch on next weekend.

 

Have to work the entire weekend and Monday but I was at least able to get 2 of my vehicles cleaned with the nice weather. 2 down, 2 for next weekend???

 

After much deliberation .....I ordered an Extang Encore today. There are entirely too damn many tonneau manufacturers!

 

Nice ranger

 

Thanks,

 

Nice Go DAWGS !

You can get them off Amazon, or if you search and are patient you can find them way cheaper...

Is this the OEM version of the bumper? And do you have any issue with parking sensors?

 

Gave her a warsh.

Used Adam's Polishes stuff. I really like it. Took a couple hours and watched his instructional videos as well... I'll say this if you don't know what you are doing and "just wash your stuff", or worse, go to the car wash, I'd check this out. I bought this kit http://adamspolishes.com/shop/kits/washing-cleaning/adam-s-essentials-detail-kit.html pls got an orbital and some other swag from a friend. In hindsight I would have pieced together what I needed after watching the videos, but I don't regret it either.

Spent 3 hours on the outside just giving it a good wash. Clay bar, polish, and wax/seal will come, but had some body work done after I owned it for a week and still have 2 more months to wait before applying wax.

Here's before, I should have taken better pics, but it was pretty dirty, I got it that way in the woods.





3 hours later...




The truck definitely looks better than it did when I drove it home from the dealer. I'm no pro but a little effort goes a long way.

If you care at all, take the time to do you own washes, and as Mulder would say, trust no one!

 

Had 3rd gen 5100s installed on front at 1.55in. Maxtrac 1 inch block in the rear. 18x9 Method Roost with Toyo Open Country AT2 275/65 18. Slight rubbing on mudflap at full turn when backing out of driveway
