What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Had a diff recall done, the truck is faster now..
well maybe not, but at least I have all new diff hardware and oil

 

Installed a Smittybilt Overlander RTT on my Prinsu cabrack- I ended up ditching the included bars and got the right hardware to bolt it directly onto the Prinsu crossbars - used T-Nuts on carriage bolts to do t.

 

Took the truck in for the 5k service. However, because the wheels are so new and special to me, I rotated the tires myself. I guess I'm just too OCD to trust anyone with my Ray 10s.


It took about an hour or so not including setup and putting everything away.





Not bad for a 55 year old and yea, there's the gratification of knowing I still can. It feels good to have skills.

Oh and the 5k service was an hour long joke I'll never get back. I guess if I would have let them do the rotation it would have been worth my time. If you tell them it's "severe" service use they might agree to change the oil. As it is, I'm cool with every 10k running synthetic.

 

Pic or it didn't happen

 

Nope! Looks awesome!

 

Thanks. First thing wife said was.... I don't like it. Doh!

 

If it was a black truck with white vinyl it would look like a skunk.
Looks ok.

 

That’s probably a 3 Advil event!
Those wheels are awesome!

 

Pepe Le pew style. Haha

 

Been with my wife since 83'. Still can't buy her clothes or shoes I think she would like because I do. Opposites attract thank God.

 

With the stock suspension in the sr5 it sure bounced like him
Edit. I bought mine in white because my wife liked the mgm and Barcelona more.

 

Thanks. Or one really big spiced rum and coke!

Hey by the way, wanted to post, I think the cap Linex'd on the truck looks bad ass! Way to resource!

 

Well that will work too!
And thanks on the cap ! I really like how it turned out....the wallet didn’t.....but the most important input was my better half....she really likes it.

 

the video on the Red Line web site is valuable... and ditto, I used a drill stop... had quality pop rivet gun too but skinny fore arms.

 

Yeah we been doing it since 96. Opposites attract for sure. Haha

Wheels are killer

 

Happy wife, happy life. and yea, not cheap at all but that thing is nearly bomb proof now. Plus, I'm willing to bet there's not another one like it.

 

Mine wasnt silver b/c I couldn't have another silver vehicle and she currently has silver. God forbid we have the same color vehicle.

It's ok. I love white

 

Great! There's nothing like a happy marriage! I'm a fan for sure.

Hey thanks. My wife asked why it took me so long to decide to get them, which was like 3 milliseconds. She's into mods as much as I am, and cool vehicles in general.

 

Funny...I say that saying all the time.
Drove from Houston up to Dallas today, daughter plays beach volleyball for her college, D1 top tier.....she has a tournament at TCU tomorrow.
There is a really good Russian restaurant in Dallas...wife is originally from Russia...took her there....she’s happy ; )
Yeah that cap is bomb proof now! Linex is ridiculous strong!

 

Not really but snow season is coming up here in the california mountains and I do go to the beach.

Mostly just bored and paranoid though.
