What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Bit the bullet and put a skewp'd hood on.

 

Just kidding Bud!
The only real difference between you and me is that you're YOUNG and foolish......,
and you probably have more hair.
I'm working on the hair thing!

 

Straightened the bed......was off to the left.

 

did quick video and install about the Ultimate Tailgate Seal I got from Amazon to cut down all the dust that gets into the bed.

 

Turd intake

 

35 , i have hair ... on my chest , and yes I’m fool of shit lol
The pro owners still need new tires though haha
Such of beautiful truck with the ugliest tires in the world
I just talk like I kid cause I’m from Spain and my English is not very good

 

Anyone have a seat cover that you would recommend, that fits snug and looks good. Keep in mind i'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars on them

 

For a second I though that was Jerry’s truck!
Looks really good

 

Your English looks just fine from here.
Mucho trabajo pero poco dinero. Siempre mierda aqui!

 

Haha
Si asi es!

 

Finally got my LED interior lights.. LED vs Stock:

 

Where did you get those. I would like something better than just trying to bungee my shovel and axe down to the cleats when we go off-road.

 

It is really easy since the interior panels are only held in with clips:

-- Pull off the head unit trim piece with the two vent outlets.
-- Pull off the right side of the panel under the steering column. You need this one partially out since the HVAC controls have a little return on the left side that captures it.
-- Pull out the HVAC controls. There is a tab at the top that interferes with the head unit. I was able to wiggle it out and back in without loosening the radio, but that is only four 10mm (I think) bolts that only have to be loosened a bit. I disconnected all the harnesses to give me more space to work.
-- From there, you can reach around to the back side of the power port. The harness just pulls off towards the front of the truck.
-- Looking inside the power port on the metal part, you can see a black square on the bottom. There is a similar one on the upper side. With a small screwdriver, gently push on that black tab while pushing the metal part toward you (toward the back of the truck). Do the same with the upper tab. The metal part will come out toward you.
-- Once the metal part is out, you can remove the black plastic piece by pulling it toward you also.

From there, you can pull the harness though the open hole and release the plastic connector, if you need to.

To do that:
-- Open the two small snap covers on the front side.
-- With a small, flat screwdriver, release the tabs under the connectors on the back side of the connector.
-- The metal connectors will then slide out. They are two different widths, so there is no worry about which is which.

I had to trim off a small amount of the sleeving to expose the crimped joint.

Soldering on to the power port connectors is a great place for switched power. The amperage listed on the power port cover (that you can't see until you remove it) is pretty high.

This video is very helpful as well https://youtu.be/4nfcFKdooNw

Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers!

 

Which ones did you go with?

 

Really liking the look of those Helo wheels. Couldn’t find weight specs on them. Any idea how much they weigh?
Also, the site says satin black, yet they appear bit more glossy in the pictures...
any chance in posting a full straight on side view?
Thx!

 

I bought that same fiskars axe and used it this weekend. Damn thing is SHARP. works great on splitting Pecan!

Not a huge fan of the hollow handle though.

 

LED’s

Expensive, but excellent quality.

Where did you get that shovel? I’m struggling to find one that I don’t have to hang off the back due to the shape?

 

I am considering wrapping my wheels rather than dipping them. Can you comment on the install? Also, some close up pics of the wheels would be awesome!
