What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Installed some RCI rock sliders today! Sorry no pictures, it is raining out now but the install went good, 3 hours by myself with a motorcycle jack. Getting the front driver's side mounted was a pain, but otherwise it's very straightforward.

 

Yes it is.

 

This mod took me about a pint of beer to complete. I wanted to replace the license plate cover but couldn't find one with just the red TRD logo on the top. So I found one close enough to the look I wanted for $5 bucks and removed the white lettering.

 

Installed my pro grill!!

Installed the Pelfrybilt Tray, Group 31 battery and @mcmnos4r2 medium hood decal.

 

Nice touch noting the date replaced (and mileage) on your battery. I've always replaced the battery at the 5 year mark and (barring any other electrical problems), never faced a dead battery. YMMV due to regional conditions. Putting it right on the battery often causes a "Holy cow! Five years already?" realization when under the hood for other reasons.

 

No pics because it's kinda boring. I installed a pair of Air Ride airbags for the rear suspension. Was a little bit of a bitch.. one of the bolts to hold the bracket to the frame was too tight in the bracket, because the paint on the bracket was too thick! It had me pulling my hair for a while... wondering if I had the wrong bolts! A little drill action and that problem was resolved. I was hoping the air line came with a T junction so I could join them and have one air valve. I may mod it to do that later on. For now both air valves are now in place of the license plate bolts, like this:

(so I lied, one pic!)

 

Joined the quad 3''s club today

 

Cumming Georgia Beaver. I would have left it haha

 

Picked up the same battery today, waiting on the Pelfrybilt cage. Does the stock tray get removed or just set on it?

 

Lol! Don't forget red taco. It all sounds perverted.

 

Remove it. It’s just a couple J bolts and a peice if plastic under neither that just lifts up and out.
You’ll have to play with the cables a little in the positive side to get the terminal to fit on. I removed the cover to the little box that protects the wiring from getting hit if a belt happens to break and re-ziptied them.

 

I date everything. Even my work boots and light bulbs. Haha. Not exactly sure why but I do.

 

Ah......understood. Thanks.

Great looking truck. Looks like you also put in some black tube steps. I like the looks & functionality of those.

I've had good results with Chemical Guys Butter Wet Wax. Goes on easy....comes off easy, too.

I've been impressed with all their products that I've tried.

All the making for a MILF driver.......

 

Nothing wrong with that. It can be informative.

I have to date everything that goes in my fridge or freezer. Prevents "surprises".

 

wires ran along rack, between cab from engine bay and through grommet into alu cab bag.

test run before hiding all the wiring.

 

Sweet.

You'll have good coverage there.
