What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I have a regular hitch, had some wobble, so I wrapped some black electrical tape.

 

Sweet!! How was the install? I've heard that some of the bad racks have a hard time clamping down because of the bed rails. Can you post some pictures of the bed clamps? I'm trying to decide which bed racks to get. If yours fit well I think I might do the same. Thanks!

 

Great idea

 

The nav cursor and 4in display compass just spin in circles but nav works. If I change map display the cursor will stop but whole maps spins instead...lol....been that way since new.

 

Tried out the haul limit 820LBS of thin set and Stucco, 150 ft of baseboard, a toilet, and other misc items prob close to haul capacity of 1250 LBS. Suspension barely budged. Wish Prinsu Racks would get back to me.

 

I bought some rubber bushings from Lowes. They fit in my drilled hole perfectly and the hose goes through the center! Looks factory. Can send a photo tomorrow if you want to see!

 

Wish Prinsu was like Lowes.

 

Sure if you get a chance I'd like to see it @TacoRunner2017

Edit: thanks all for the suggestions!

 

I got that same "step" as well, wobbled around like crazy... I used some extra plastic tackle box dividers, cut up dvd case would prolly work too, and cut a few shims and shoved em on top and bottom... Reduced it by a lot but there's still a little left/right wobble....

If/once the shims vibrate out, or i lose them when switching to a ball to haul/tow... Then I'll prolly wrap it with duck or electrical tape...

 

Took mine in for an alignment the other day at my local Tire Works. Dropped it off, paid two hours later, and walked out.

Today I realized that I was charged for a 4 tire alignment.... 4 tires?? You can only align half of that! Needless to say when I went back and asked for a refund the manager tried telling me they aligned 4 tires and that even if they didn't I signed the invoice so it didn't matter what they actually did.

Thank God for American Express, talk about a company that takes care of their clients.

 

Well isn't it called a four wheel alignment? How much did you pay?

 

I bought a bed mat. Does that count?

 

Did something similar

 

Bought a LG 75 inch TV and stuffed it in the short bed.

Guy with a Tesla thought he would have good luck because his forum members have fit a 80 inch. Well he gave up really quick with that idea.

 

The rear axle can get out of alignment and need to be adjusted. Mine was off by 1/2" (right wheel was further forward and left wheel was further back). If you cancel payment on the 4 wheel alignment you are being unfair as that is a real service.

 

Only two wheels were adjusted, as it showed on my spec sheet. Not being unfair, I tried to pay them for the work they actually did...they didn't seem to think they were wrong

 

They still have to hook up the machine to all 4 tires to make sure the thing is traveling straight down the road. That is what you are paying for. If they only did two tires you could still wear out the other tires and not know it. Just because they only adjusted 2 wheels doesn't mean they did you wrong, they still made reference that your whole truck is traveling straight. And yes they can adjust your rear axle so it doesn't dog track!

 

Got the consol organizer, totally worth it. I have a garbage that's 10" tall so I customized that to be 6" so the organizer can go ontop. I feel like there's so much more storage for all those small things.

Also got the tufskinz tailgate letters. Looks great!

 

Nice thing about the Rola is it uses the bed rails to attach to the truck, sort of similar to the cleats that come from Toyota.
The install was pretty straight forward, it took me a few hours all told. The only issue I had was with the little plastic undercover that slides in the track of the cross bars. On the instructions it gives you lengths to cut them, but when I went to put the braces on they were too long and prevented the bolt that holds the brace from sliding to where it needed to be.

Overall I'm pretty happy, no whistle so far. I ordered a couple months ago but it was back ordered, I did noticed they have raised the price since then. Hope this helps!

 

Got an air sensor replaced leading into the exhaust
