What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

That first picture is nice. Looks like you used a filter to get the clouds looking really cool.

 

Big day the other day. Got my URD spec U full (first cat delete-back) exhaust installed, as well as Budbuilt traction bar, All pro sway bar end links, and removed my rear swaybar. Then spent the day yesterday cruising and tuning my suspension after all the mods. Everything is back on point now, and feels like a new truck

Here are links to my google drive to view videos of the URD spec U exhaust setup if you're interested:

Wow, that really sounds great! This set up deletes the cat? Does it replace the cat with with ?? Smog control deleted as well?

 

Thanks! And yes the first one is filtered up..

 

It doesn't replace it with anything, but smog control remains completely in place. It is a tuned pipe, and uses the size of the pipe to create the appropriate back pressure to fool the o2 sensor system. It also enhances the running of the engine quite a bit, much smoother and maybe even a bit more powerful although I'll reserve that until I have Dyno numbers to prove it

 

Washed, and waxed.

 

I've got mine on my drivers side. The tip of my antenna sits about a 1/2" higher than my RTT on it's rack, so I use it to gauge clearance if it looks questionable.

Plus now that I've got my "dorkel" installed on my passenger side it'd probably look too cluttered over there.

 

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer! my bad

 

Did some bumper/fender trim cleanup and washed for the first time in forever. I think the only thing I miss about being stock is being about to fit in my fav car wash tracks. $20/mo for unlimited washes was pretty legit, and didn't require a step ladder or sweat.

 

Do you have wheel spacers on top of those 12.5's"

 

On the rears I have 1.25" Spidertrax. Maxtrac spindles increase track width and I hate when a vehicles ass end has a narrower stance than the front.

 

Still on 265/70/17s, deciding which tires to go with.

 

I'd go with Falken Wildpeak AT3W if I was in your shoes.

Clean truck.

I found my ARE MX here. $500 color matched, fold down front window, carpeted ceiling in great condition. Patience is the key. Otherwise expect to pay upwards of $2000 new. Good luck.

 

so do the second gen caps fit?

 

No. Too tall.

 

oh sorry thats what i thought. i figured you found a second gen cap for 500. my bad

 

I found a 3rd gen. I had to drive to Wilmington NC from Wisconsin to pick it up. There seems to be a lot of shells for sale along the east coast.

 

Added some ditch lights from the group buy.

 

Just pulled the trigger on Method rims with 265/75r16 duratracs. I'll have them installed early next week!
