What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Replaced my rear differential fliud @ 7000 miles. Looked clean to me.

 

Thanx man...

 

Got my Tyger Tri-Fold Tonneau cover today Can't wait to install it tonight.

 

Nothing Earth shattering, but installed the low profile in channel AVS vent shields today.

 

Debadge the truck and also installed remote start. Feel accomplished

 

Just for the hell of it or had a suspicion?

 

Got a little action in this last weekend.

Then the pieces started coming together

 

Just upgraded to the Pro grill. Next up, decal removal.

 

Started packing for the holiday weekend....

 

Installed Clazzio's. They are better than I could have imagined and yes my fingers are killing me!

 

Dealership replaced oem battery and said the battery could no longer hold a charge. Truck sat for five days and didn't turn over today. I didn't leave my headlight or any interior lights on. Does that sound normal? Have had the truck for one year and two months (has 21k miles) so that didn't last long lol Also noticed I have a 24F size battery when autozone and sites alike says it should be 27F.

 

First thing I did was bring it home from the dealership.

Then proceeded to install new radio knobs, 3rd tie down rail in the bed, and remote starter. Tomorrow if I have time I want to get my tonneau cover installed and possibly get the hood struts installed.

 

Installed my new to me bed rug picked up froma local tw member @recomr

 

It depends on the type of pin striping. The kind from the dealer, I'm with you. The kind I have, I like to think of as battle scars.... It's also why my wife says I can't have anything nice.

 

I get those but not very often. But I just can't leave them...my OCD gets the best of me. Good on you for being able to leave them..

 

My latest mod, bestop’s supertop cover.

 

Not completely by choice. I'm constantly going down roads that are over grown for work, so I just leave them and don't wash the truck. That picture is one of the rare time's the truck got an actual wash. Most of the time I just pressure wash the mud off and call it good. The plus side is when I take it on trails, I don't pay to much attention to the brush.

 

Those are the exact same ones I got which are standing-by in the garage waiting for the Taco delivery. How do you like them?

 

Second time was the charm! A week ago, I saw the TSB for the rear differential howling and the TSB for the high cross-wind noise, so I went to the dealer, armed with the TSB's. He had me come back and take a ride with the lead technician. The tech heard the noise and agreed to fix it under the TSB! Back in January, I tried to get the dealer to fix it, but they blamed the noise on my Frontrunner rack. The TSB didn't come out until February, so I was SOL. Having the right service advisor made all the difference!

Even though I had not yet experienced the high cross-wind noise, I wanted the dealer to replace my old door seals under the TSB with the new improved seals. To this end, I had to make up a story about hearing a loud noise when I was in a high cross-wind condition. Although we could not duplicate the condition , they still agreed to replace the seals!

Parts were ordered earlier in the week. I took it in this morning and it was ready by 11 am. I still hear some noise when feathering the throttle, but it is tolerable. Overall, I am happy with the outcome.

 

Nice bed rug.

Is that hardwood flooring in your garage? Very nice!
