What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I changed my front and rear differential oil. I bought 6 quarts and leftover with 1.5 ish. I think this is about right given the capacity for both is 4.7 quarts? Hope they're not underfilled. Is there a concern if any grit particles get inside when changing the oil? Tomorrow I need to do the transfer case. Thanks

 

Welcome to the forum

A lot of grit is bad, none is best.

 

Front is almost done but I’m calling it an early night for the Taco. I’ve got other obligations with my wife’s taco.

 

Is she getting a lift too?

 

She’s getting something.

 

Installed these 'running boards'. $176 on eBay. Not bad. Instructions were horrible, but they only took about 30 minutes to install regardless. Very stout and appear well made. Not that I have a lot to compare from.

 

Footwell lights!

 

Looks nice. Where'd you get them?

Also are those Katzkin seats? More pics? Price?

 

Did the Meso gasshole cap holder Mod, and received some oil change accessories. Also had @07 sport 4x4 help me with the Transmission temperature codes for my Ultra Gauge. He’s a good egg.

 

Finish up the Baja Designs squadron sport fog lights. Was waiting for screws to dry since I wanted to paint them black. These are a huge upgrade from stock fog light.

 

The 285's fit really nice so far with the 1.25" Wheel spacers. I doubt I'll need to do a cmc even at full lock and stuffed. Looks to have plenty of clearance. Maybe some minimal inner fender trimming

Decided to put some decals on this bad boy while I am waiting for my wheels, tires, and suspension to come in on Monday (I need to get my Camera working lol, phone photos doesn't do it justice! Looks amazing in person):

 

That's..different

 

Reason why I got it. 3rd gen builds are starting to look all the same to me on here including decals. I didn't know if it would turn out good or not, but glad it did. I'll take a further distance shot when I get my suspension, wheels, and tire (33s) on.

 

You forgot ...

 

Can you (or someone) fill me in on bed stiffeners? Where/When do they actually help out and add support? Only real thing I get worried about is loading a quad. I’ve never cared but now with a new truck I want to take good care of it

 

Finally got my windows tinted today.
20% on front and 35% on factory stained rear.

Crazy how different it looks compared to the day I brought her home.

 

Couple additions to the truck. Had before just got re powder coated and switch to the leather

 

Not today, but ditch lights:





Today I put in Rigid Ignite lights in the rear for backing up or lighting campgrounds or whatever:
