What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Sliders currently being welded on.
(Bonus points if you spot the barn cat.)

 

Barn kitty...lol

 

Just wish the black chrome was actually black and not a light grey!

 

Did a second gen amber DRL/signal mod today. Amber DRL always on. Switch to blink with signal/emergency then back to always on again.

 

I like it.

 

Weighed mine on a scale just because it was there. No real weight added items. Larger tires 30lbs, 40lbs sound deadener, bed mat maybe 30lbs. Im 170. Truck was 5050 on the scale.

 

Changed the oil and air filter. PITA to change it on this truck...

 

Got the parts for my u-bolt flip today. Little more difficult since I'm running the icon air bumps. Basically involves getting custom u-bolts made and the icon top plate but in the end, no more low hanging u-bolts and a beefy as fuck top/striker plate. Getting those little details dialed in. Also picked up some black maxtrax. Had CBI make me some custom mounts along with bike mounts for their bed bars. Now I'll have my mountain bike mounted to the driver side of the bars, RTT in the middle and maxtrax on the passenger side. Then some rotopax mounted on the prinsu rack. For now, this should be a solid and compact setup but do have a totally custom bed rack in the works.

 

At least you chose the right tool for the job! After pics for sure! That's about where I cut mine too.

 

Finished up a couple of small things on mine.

 

Which flip kit? I used all pro and the top plates were wide enough for my icon bumps to hit.

 

Like butter. You hammer or grind pinch weld?

 

Holy fuck sticks!!!!

 

Hammer for sure. I wouldn't cut that off. It's way harder than I was expecting to hammer flat. Haha

 

Got the icon specific top plates and custom made u-bolts from a local shop. The Icon plates are super stout and give tons of room for the bump to land

 

Is there a write up or video anywhere on how to do it?

 

I can do a quick write up. Pretty simple

 

did quick disassembly video of my headlights (hyperlapse 60 seconds) real time 8 minutes after figuring out what to do. goal is blackout, drl switchbacks, and demon eyes. cracking them open was the biggest PITA but the disassembly after figuring it out was quick. I will have a detailed regular speed video up when everything is done.

 

Our trucks use 0W-20 synthetic motor oil. Pretty sure that's what is written on my oil cap. Also, they'd change it for free. Why spend money on free items?

 

Yup says it on the fan shroud too.............
