What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Joined the faux bro club today after work.

 

Installed my AMP Research boards Sunday. Gotta say, I like the look more than I thought I would. I bought these mostly for helping my mom in and out of the truck when I need to take her places. Being that I don't much like boards or bars and these have an 11 inch drop, they are perfect for me and her. Planning to install a cut off switch so they only work when I want them to.

Also realized today that Undercover SE Tonneau does not allow use of tie-downs behind the the strut. You can see in the picture that the strut hits tie-down and raises latch about a 1/4 inch above lock plate. That sucks!



Next up is this mess...

 

Can you move the rail down an inch or so?

 

Not sure, i'll have to check that. Just noticed it about an hour ago when I had to tie down some gas cans. I'll let you know.

 

It should be possible unless the rails is mounted to something behind the bed wall that doesn't extend that far down. If the rail is simply bolted to the bed wall it should be doable.

 

Same deal. Not big on the red as you see it everywhere but man your truck looks great! What tires are those

 

Anyone have any suggestions on neoprene seat covers? Wanted to see if anyone had some they were satisfied with that fix well and have held up. Looking for a set for my rear seats.

 

Finally got around to doing the tweeter mod. Seems to be an improvement over the SR stock one. Easy quick mod.

 

Nice look. Don't sweat the small bubbles too much. In my limited experience they tend to disappear on their own over a short amount of time

 

A similar thing happened to me. I really wanted a Cement Pro but there were none to be had when I got mine late last year. There was a white one, but the sales guy at that dealership was a dick so I ended up with Barcelona Red (my last choice at the time) by default. Now I wouldn't trade it for either of those.

In fact, after my truck got totaled a couple of months ago due to Harvey I had the opportunity to get a Cement Pro replacement. But ironically I was dead set on getting back into a Barcelona Red. I waited a few weeks and luckily one popped up. Now all is right with the world once more!

You can put one of these ^^^ on the bolt that holds the latch on if you need a tie down. I would not need those track tie downs unless I had something big to haul that required me to take the lid off.

 

What suspension are you running now? Sounds very tempting to pull it off this weekend.

 

The wife surprised me with these the other day.

 

Did you say “I do?”

 

Thanks for another option.

 

17" TRD pro wheels and BFG KO2 tires!

 

Did mine this weekend as well. Was surprised how easy the panels were to remove and re-install. Very glad I did it and may do the front door speakers as well not to far down the road.

Anyone ever find out if the SR5 stock players have enough power to handle all 6 new speakers?

 

I can only answer for the entune premium (with knobs on the bottom instead of the top). My system rocks hard with all 6 Kickers.

 

Thanks to @CBoy808 I got my decals in. Love the colors and very happy how it came out

 

I have aout 18.5" clearance under the leading edge of my cover. Love using ammo cans for stuff though. tough as hell and waterproof too. thanks for the reply
