What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Taking the family to northern Michigan for the weekend.

 

heard the last post on the 3000th page gets $3000 worth of mods for free

 

How's that working out for you?

 

Finally upgraded the tires. Got the training wheels off and looks like a truck now. Lifted and windows tinted, grill blacked out (not pictured cause apparently I'm still learning to iPhone)

Looks good. Gotta pull those flaps tho

 

Yeah it has to look like everyone else truck...

 

Everyone keeps the flaps on Everyone also has K02's

 

Half of your statement may be correct. I do have mud guards on my truck and I have stock tires and wheels on it. But then again I'm not everyone.

 

I know but then instead I'll get to wash every 2 days instead of 3 haha

 

So then my statement was correct...

 

It's not that bad, it's only 3 bolts on each flap. Definitely worth seeing if you like it.

 

Any videos of it?

 

Drove it to dealership to get my 20K service. Asked about getting reimbursed for the cost of a CPS I replaced. Put all the information on the DIY-check/replace your CPS sensor thread in this forum. For those of you who have done it.

 

not good, because I wasn't the last...

 

Of the exhaust? ...actually somewhere in this thread i did post a video.... Same exhaust system but on the white 2016 i traded in.

When I was first looking into exhausts i watched loads of video clips... Of a few different exhaust setups... After installing what i learned was no video clip sounds like it does in real life. You just can't capture true sound... Especially with my $80 phone lol


My advice is find someone local that can let you hear it in person. Both inside and outside the cab. At idle and driving.

The 40 series is definitely not for everyone. It's aggressive. You can hear it in the cab even at idle. It's not crazy loud but surely noticeable.

My favorite mod, but if you want less aggressive there are plenty of options!!

 

I'm not a fan of how flaps look on a truck... But they without a doubt help keep shit off the sides of my truck. So i will keep using them, despite the look, until i break them off while off roading...

 

Plug and play backup bulbs or did you have to do any modification?

 

Brake lights you don't need a resistor for. But make sure you plug them in correctly, they are polar sensitive, if you plug them incorrectly your truck will go into limp mode because it thinks you are stepping on the brakes and accelerator at the same time, when your running lights are on. VLEDs has a nice set of triton LEDs you can get for the turn signals that have a resistor that plugs into their setup.

 

Finally got around to installing this vinyl I had got a couple weeks ago. Looks pretty good even though most people won't see it hah.

Today I decided to use the underside of the platform. Wrench is 12 mm for bed cover removal.
