What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Today is the last Day of their Site Wide Sale:

 

It looks like most of their products are cheaper on Amazon

 

Plenty of mods courtesy of @rrentrop ...

Door Sill letters and logo, glove box letters, gear shift indicator and black out kit for starters. More from him later on, but for now...

 

Shift indicator vinyl must be new. My stock clear one has light surface scratches that are annoying. Just looks a little overbearing in blue. Love my blue truck but think I might try one in black instead. What do you think. Have you got used to it.

 

Yes, the shift indicator vinyl is fairly new and I bought a set they day he announced them which he included in the rest of my order he was prepping for me, so it was a stroke of luck that I found them that early. I do really like it since it does stand out and most folks notice it, but not everyone. I can also understand why someone would find it annoying, but I don't find it overbearing. I intentionally took the photo from an angle that highlighted the color without blowing it out. It only gets distracting when sunlight hits directly on it, but that goes with anything. If you went with a matt black, it would work really well and would compliment the blackout kit nicely. He provides two just in case you muck up installation on the first try. I highly recommend it and for the price, you just can't wrong.

 

I really wanted to try their spray wax after reading all the kudos here on TW.
After reading the reviews on Amazon and seeing all the negative comments about the leaky and poor quality spray bottles I've changed my mind.
I'll just stay with Collinite. It's durable, gives a great shine and stands up to repeated detergent washes better than anything else I've ever used. I just thought the spray application would be much faster especially since so many here were pleased with the end result.

 

Use Chemical Guy's jet seal at beginning of washing season. Then wash with Chemical Guy's Mr. Pink soap and use Griots Garage spray wax (great spray bottle) when drying throughout season. Water beads off and looks great.

 

Appreciate the recommendation but I think I'm just going to stay with what's worked for me so far. I may try the Pink soap although the Blue Coral works pretty well.
The results I've had up to now have been pretty darn good. When the adjuster evaluated (got T-boned/totaled) my 2011 he couldn't believe he was looking at a 6 year old truck.
So I guess I'll just stay the course. The extra effort made shows......., just seems like it takes forever to do.

 

Wash and Wax

 

Today I ordered a hondo garage setup for my phone. I can't find a definitive answer, and I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but can anyone confirm that the perfect squeeze will hold a Samsung Note 8? With my case on it is 3 and 3/16" wide.

 

Headliner removal and sound deadening to begin...everything else has already been done..

 

Famous last words!

 

I have Ram Mount balls and extenders, but where did you source the magnet mounts with ram ball? Thx

 

Pretty sure I saw the specs listed on their site. Maybe it might be a good idea to check their site and if you still can't find the info you're looking for give them a call. I'm sure they'd be happy to answer your questions. That way you'll hear it right from them and there will be no surprises.

 

I meant as far as sound deadening...lol...

 

I went out and spent a boatload on chemical guys stuff. Looked awesome right after doing it, but a few weeks into it, the water bead was almost gone. Honestly, I just went back to using meguiars ultimate. It lasts so much longer. I think I'll still use chemical guys polish, it's really good stuff.

 

It rolls up pretty far, here’s a couple pics

 

I got the idea from some one on here. Its the scosche surface mounts with a ramball base attached to it. I took the truck down a fire road and bounced the truck around as much as i could and the iPad stayed in place. I recommend putting the magnet on the outside of the case if you have cases on your devices. The phone didn't stay in place as well as the iPad because the magnet was directly on the phone behind the case.

I started using Blue Coral a long time ago. Eventually I went to McGuires Mirror Glaze and was very pleased. Now I use Collinite and I couldn't be happier. I was just looking for something a little less time consuming but that said the extra effort is well worth the time spent. I guess sometimes you should just be happy with what works.

 

Headliner is down and someone left their mark...lol
