What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Just got mine yesterday. What I thought was interesting was the detailed installation instructions make no mention that you're supposed to oil it before installing it.

 

Added standard size RokBlokz mudflaps to the truck within the last day. Images aren’t the best but they provide much more protection than the OEM mudflaps. I running K02’s size 265/75-16 on OEM OR rims and when I recently added 1” BORA spacers I had front tire(s) rub and the RokBlokz solved that issue and provide more protection all around:

Front. Back.

 

Woops, my bad. Yes, it's pre-oiled. Guess I was expecting K&N red oil.

 

Ended up paying 3200 OTD. Fully loaded with sportsman package , sliding windoors, drop down sliding front window, and pro lock synced with factory lock

 

Did you have to get a different battery tray? The one in my sport just fits the little OEM battery which a pitiful 24!

 

Pelfrybilt works great! I know i did have the top cover on backwards its on correctly now!

 

Ok, is that just the tie down, or does it come with tray and all?

 

It is a new full tray comes with everything to mount it. I painted mine black.

 

I just ordered a Snugtop Rebel with the sportsman package. Vented windoors, drop down front slider,pro lock non electric,Yakima tracks with Yakima racks, dual led lights. $3400.00 out the door with installation, now the 6-9 week wait.

 

My Maui rig.

Absolutely love this truck so far.

 

Removed all the chrome emblems, then washed, sealed with Opti-Seal, did the grille, fenders, and other trim with C4, THEN went to mow the lawn, and just before I fired up the mower I realized my stupid rookie mistake of detailing the truck first...DOH!!

Oh well, the first mow of the season will just have to wait a few days, lol

 

No just park it down the street and do the yard. Then pull the clean truck back into the clean yard.

 

Decided its a good time to replace wiper blades on the Taco and the wifes 16 Escape. Both have 18k miles. So while I was at it I figured I would service the battery in the Escape which is hidden under the cowl assembly. I could only see the positive cable without removing the wipers and cowl assembly. Had to remove a cover to see this. I told her to take this junk to get some warranty repairs done on it. I have never seen such a mess in my 40+ years of working on cars. Half the cable connector fell off in my hand. What do you think.

 

Did the OEM Subarau x Kicker tweeter upgrade. Took about 15 minutes to install. Sounds great. Got it for $85.97 from BAM Wholesale (look up part number#

$119 H631SFJ101 - Genuine OEM

Wow!!

 

Falken Wildpeak AT3W’s! (265/75-16, SL). Almost look as aggressive as my duratracs and much better in terms of road noise and handling.

 

Ford

 

Daylight in the daylight...honestly you don’t even notice it’s dark out on the trails at night with this much light.

 

I know. I tried to get her into a RAV4 or a 4runner.
