What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That's a very cool battery clamp, think it's my next purchase.

 

OK. Some people asked for some air picture shit.

You can see the new Iggy Corp relay box, and the compressor up there.
The wiring can now get cleaned up. Winch power wire shortened, Northstar battery ordered, And everything wired through the IggyCorp System! I hate a bundle of wires.

Built the compressor bracket from 1/4" stainless as well.

 

Oh I feel better now after seeing that filthy engine compartment. Looks good on your truck though.

Oh my... Is that black or gray?

 

The grey ghost got it's first wash by me today. Then I sealed it with some Adam's polish paint sealant. So much better, tomorrow I'll put a coat of wax on top of the sealant

 

Where'd you order it and how much? I'm in the market for one (long bed). Did you look at/consider the Extang Encore or compare?

 

Installed 5100's on stock coils set at 1.75" front and a 1" rear block with 5100 0-1" shocks. 1.25 spacers and getting 265/75 Toyo at2 in the morning. Before and after pix.

 

Took her up to the Top of the World in Moab. Definitely tightens up the butt hole.
More to come!

 

I installed the ARE CAI a few months ago. Definetly loud if you stomp on it.
No difference in throttle response, always drive with ECT on.
Installed the TRD exhaust. Tiny bit of a low rumble in a good way, by no means noisy. Truck has a little more pickup.
Still using the ECT.
Then since having the TRD exhaust on for about a month.....one morning I get up and had not turned on the ECT yet and leaving the neighborhood noticed a big difference when from a stop the peppiness of the throttle. Not sure why. Now I rarely use the ECT.

 

Thanks. Piston looks bigger than it is in picture but still a little bigger than I wanted, all I had laying around at the moment. Next Air compressor or smaller hp engine I scrap will produce a new one. Still stock boot, just used a grommet inside and zip tied boot to it like the original shift knob transition piece was attached.

 

I ordered it from their factory store. I do like the Extang 2.0 and it was a hard decision. You can get the Extang and we can compare them in the future!

Well I got some bro points today. Plasti dipped the wheels lol! They look good and should hold up until I can bite the bullet on the F5s!!!

 

Mine has cobwebs all over it and I'm fighting the urge off to go wash and dry it. The spiders are moving around on those floating webs you see in the wind.

 

i rarely wash my truck. The woods have claimed the paint.

 

I currently own a 2016 black SR5 2WD with XP appearance package and my 2017 dark gray limited just came in. I'm in the process of adding TRD Pro grill and cat exhaust, predator bars, 2 inch Toytech lift, fuel Maverick 18x9 -12, BFG KO2 285/60/18, and blacking out all the chrome (around fog lights, mirrors, and handles). I've already blacked out all the badges. Pictures to come.

 

You ever think about getting it Line-X'ed? If I still have mine the fall of 2018 I'm getting mine done. I'm tired of keeping this black shiny..

 

hell no. worst thing you can do. Heavy as shit.

 

No sir. You need to read the below link.

"LINE-X will add like 500 lbs" - False, We spray exteriors around 65mils on average. At that thickness you achieve the tough coating you want and don't add a significant amount of weight. Less than 90 lbs on average for a full size vehicle completely sprayed. About as much weight as your cooler stocked with "sodas" and ice.
