What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

@KTJO 4x4 You made it to Oregon? Were you in time to enjoy the eclipse? It was pretty epic during totality! Enjoy the last little bit of summer, and stay strong through the winter months... especially in the spring when all you want is a little sunshine. Cheers!

 

Still too cumbersome

BUT i do like these!! not angled but it'll do the trick! could fab a plate that hinges in some way or another..

 

I kinda wanna stick to the Baja Designs lights since that's what I am running everywhere else and they are amazing. These things are little too, so even the non flush mount ones would yield a clean look.

 

did you install your suspension yet?

 

It was absolutely amazing!!!!

 

I am running F5 16 x 8 with 4.5" backspace. The tires come right to the edge of the fender flare.

 

**************
No, not yet. Daughter moved out and was very busy repainting the room and bathroom...girls are MESSY! Legs and back in pain now...
Also do not have any jacks and stands to get it done, was promised a few from a friend. Have most of the tools but I am debating if I should do it in the garage (has a good slope) or find a flat place to jack it up.

 

Beer cooling station complete!

The floor platform is 3/4” plywood with a couple coats of Herculiner roll-on bed liner. (I may sell my OEM bed mat.)

I performed multiple tests and the NorthStar group 31 battery powers the ARB fridge (as well as a BlackVue dashcam w/ WiFi activated) just fine for 24+ hours without running the engine. Voltage never drops below 12.27v. (I carry a

$200 NOCO GB70 2000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter, 12V Battery Booster Pack, Jump Box, Portable Charger and Jumper Cables for 8.0L Gasoline and 6.0L Diesel Engines

NOCO GB70 jump started just in case.)

 

I have same wheels and tires on TRD Pro Fox suspension and its rubbing ;-(. How are you not rubbing on stock suspension?

 

so much want!!

 

Pleeeease... You'll probably have an even better setup this time next week.
I know you're planning on grabbing a group 31 battery. Let me know if you have any related questions.

 

All in time. However the battery will likely be happening here pretty quickly. Leaning towards the X2 Power group 31 AGM. Still have not decided on which Fridge/Freezer I want but that stainless ARB is pretty swanky. However, I am pretty impressed with Snomaster offerings as well. Thankfully we have some places here in town that stock both, so I just need to find some time to get down there and do some side by side comparison, measuring, fact checking etc..

 

I hope you guys aren't going to tell the cops
Should I delet that post

Got a link

 

Did my first early oil change this past weekend. Checked out the underside while under the truck and all looked good. Have to say, a gorilla must have put the oil filter on. After applying a little extra muscle with the channel locks I eventually twisted it off. All in all it was a easy job. When I was finished on the PM side, broke out the soap and water and cleaned it a bit.

 

Not always, I live not far from chad and a kid at my school had the tailgate stole off his truck. All original 80's f150, always in the family.

 

Man, that's a nice big workshop.

I suppose there's a jerk or two in every town who'd steal from us/our trucks. Anyways, I am of the type who'd better be careful than be sorry and a very minimal prepper. Just the other day we were discussing stolen valuable things on our local subreddit from their cars parked outside in their drive way. I don't mind the short walk or two trips I have to make down to my truck to keep things inside my garage for safety.

 

I also istalled my recovery hook that I got from @reece54 I painted it red (becuz racetruck) I had to remove the plastic chin (becuz weigh reduction) dose anyone know what the OR has instead of the plastic chin piece? I know it has the skid plate but does the OR have something that goes in the same place as the chin piece

 

Ha ha! I went with the red shackle too!

 

Details on this please?

How much lift do you have?

 

Ha I'm looking at that d ring mount literally right now
I'm just afraid that once I install my sso hybrid bumper my truck might look like this with all the hooks and d rings
