What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Tried my hand at vinyl wrap turned out okay. The sides should be much easier.

 

That looks pretty good

 

Thanks it looks good from a distance until you start paying attention to the lettering. A little rough around the edges... literally

 

Is that the triple black? What color is your truck?

 

Haven't done nearly as much ad i'd like but so far it's limo tint all the way around, Matte Black letter decals for the tailgate and i just got some new tires put on last night. Waiting on my wheels to arrive. (desperately needed tires so that's why they're one before the wheels show up) BF goodrich All Terrains KO2's. 265 75 16.

 

Best color, IMHO! But...of course I'm biased. You will stand out in a sea of mgm, silver, and black Tacos.

 

Cheapest day modding yet. Napa Sunshades. $5.99. Tailgate hose clamp mod. 64 cents. And a Free wash.

 

Added oh crap handles for the kids. My sliders are higher than my Lunds nerf bars and these should help my kids jump in. Now if someone could finally figure out an oh crap handle for the driver! 3 years and no solution yet, disappointed.

 

Somebody attached one of those same handles on the front driver pillar. Great idea but did not look too good with gaps where the plastic cover used to be.

 

Looks great!
Do you have the group buy link?
Thanks!

 

So you got a 285/70/17 to fit in your spare spot under the bed? I am really curious about this as I am looking to buy this size tire this weekend.

 

Very nice, in fact it looks great!

 

It will fit underneath, you just have to beat the brackets centering the tires up with a mallet.

I went and did the tire hoist relocation mod so I wouldn't have to pull the tire away from the diff when hoisting.

New shoes.

Wheels: Level 8 MK6 17x8", zero offset, matte gunmetal with Falken Wildpeaks A/T3, 265/70/17 standard load. There is rub right now at full turn, but that's getting taken care of with my lift later this month.



It's amazing what wheels and going one size up on tires does for the stance/look of these trucks.

 

Great info. Thanks a ton!

 

Removed plasti dip off the wheels today by pressure washing them. Going to have them professionally powder coated Satin black or Matte black.

 

That's a perfect stance.... what lift do you have? I also have DCLB. Thx.

 

Do you think it'll be cost effective to do that? Most of the time. You can fetch $400 for stock wheels. New ones would probably cost $600-800 depending on what you go with.

Powdercoating will probably run $100-125 a wheel. Plus you'll have to dismount, then mount at probably $75 or so each time. And what do you do about driving your truck while they're getting powdercoated?

You'll also have an opportunity to give yourself a more aggressive stance if you want with different wheels.

I think it was over May 31st...
