What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Yep, stainless flatbar and hardware

 

Im about to replace the stock leafs with Dakar medium duty leafs. What would you say the improvements are?

 

I just put the medium duty Dakar leaf pack in my truck... I think it rides fairly close to stock.. Maybe slightly smoother, but can probably attribute that to the shocks (OME).

 

The Medium handles weight much better than the stock pack. I would bottom out with 1 person in the backseat and 3 mountain bikes in the bed. So far with the cab full, bed full of gear and camper shell. I have yet to bottom out once.

 

This happened Sunday afternoon. I was surprised how easy it was to do a full lift kit on this truck. I spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to get upper control arms out, and decided i'd save that project for another day... Needed to take a trip for work Monday late morning (after getting an alignment).

 

Got the tires installed finally.

 

Looks great, what kind again?

Showing my age but Look Gnarley!

 

They are, haha

 

Added lock rod striker bracket to the cab panel. Sliding the rods through the factory bed rail is a design flaw. Now it closes properly like the tailgate panel. Diamondback knows of this issue but still charged me $12 for extra brackets and shipping. But boy does this cover look good and now feels nice to use! And yes I had to cut about 3 inches off the factory bed rail.

 

New shoes on my 2016 sport.

 

FIFY, Gnarley Duude! Wayne's World, Wayne's World.

 

Predator Side Steps came in the mail today. Easy bolt-on in 30 minutes. Ernie, the pit bull, wanted to help.

 

Watched that move the other day Jim, still makes me laugh.
