What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Fixed a chip in my windshield. The second pic is the before

 

Very nice! I bet everyone would like to know how and what products you used

 

Derp'ed it. Way better:





I washed it also, but you can see the pollen was already on the attack.

 

All you need is the morning paper and a cup of coffee.

 

Another hard day in the garage...changed out the Jack Cover for Black.

 

Never too many tie down points!

 

Tons of info and the parts that you need here:

RRW makes it I’d wait cause I think they are making one with a winch mount soon!

 

What brush guard is that?

 

I hope you didn't drop a "TRD" in there.

 

Sso hybrid bumper

 

I'm planning to do something similar. Where did you mount the fuse block under the dash? I was thinking passenger side somewhere... away from all the mess under the driver's side dash.

 

This from yesterday, looks like cats like Tacos as much as TW members

 

Wish my truck was as much of a pussy magnet.

 

LOL, good one, but if you want a PM, then take a puppy through an airport

 

Finally had a chance to properly bed in my brakes this morning. I installed the Wilwood big brake kit a few days ago but only drove it a couple of times under their strict guidlines since they were not bedded in which prevents vibrations and uneven wear. I got up around 430am this morning and was amazed at the number of cars on the road. The brakes were gradually warmed up from the 4-5 lights I had to stop at. Then I had to make 10 hard decelerations (ie. panic stops) from 60MPH down to 20MPH. I spent 20 years flying in the Navy and my body is a little more sensitive to the effects of g-forces on it than most people and it definitely felt like the stopping force was greater than the stock brakes. Also, I did not notice any brake fade on any of the panic stops.

I went with the Wilwood BBK since they are American made by an American company and are just as good or better than Brembo brakes which is an Italian company. The forged aluminum parts used made a big difference in weight. The stock calipers felt like picking up a couple of dumbbells at the gym where the Wilwood calipers were light as a feather. I bought this kit for 3 reasons, safety, performance, and aesthetics. The investment made is definitely worth the money spent to me.

Finally, I would like to leave you with a Pro tip. There are 28 bolts that need to be locked in with red Loctite. If you happen to put that tiny tube in your pocket when you are finished then please remember to take it out before you wash your shirt. Ask me how I know, never mind, just a rhetorical question.

 

It's twelve o'clock somewhere!

 

I use the word "installed" loosely. I didn't want to bolt it down because it would make it too difficult to work on the fuse block. Instead, I left some extra length to the main power and ground wires, then wedged it into the wire "mess," by the factory fuse block. I haven't had a problems with it falling out. If I did, I would just tether or velcro it.

 

Great follow-up, Thanks!
