What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

BTW I wasn’t saying that it was wrong or right to scratch your shit up. Just simply said it makes me cringe. Like I said, I’d do the same damn thing but you better believe I’d be buffing that shit out right after to keep my nice truck nice for as long as possible. Never said I wouldn’t do it. Carnival? Not really sure what carnivals you’ve gone to but I don’t think having white/Amber lights on my truck qualifies it as a carnival. RGB is an option but used rarely. I can say that when I’m done with my build I will be prepared for almost about anything that comes my way. Any nice ride has a combination of cosmetic and functional/performance mods. It’s not just the latter. Even your buddy Jerry got into the cosmetic touches a bit with his truck after all his performance/function mods. There’s not much I have done on my truck that’s different than many of you other than also add some cosmetic touches. I guess I haven’t spent over $10k or anything like that for my Suspension like some. I don’t think it’s about the price tag as much as the function/performance you get out of what you have on your truck. I will have the same setup, if not better in the Rear Suspension category as Victory4x4 and he has plenty of function/performance. He does all of what most of you do including rock crawling. Yes. With his drop bracket Suspension System which there are a lot of of people that totally bash DBs. It seems to me he’s doing great with what he wants to do with his truck which is get out and adventure.

 

Oh no, I’m not selling my truck. I love it. I’m just actually getting my Suspension System that I’ve been saving for. My current setup was just temporary and I had plan from the beginning to have my suspension system all figured out prior to owning my truck for 2 years. So I plan on getting this all installed before the end of September. I also plan on working with a great company on a proto type dual exhaust for our trucks come September most likely. My August is pretty packed with family reunions, work conventions, and cousin wedding at the end of the month.

 

Loving the mount... I need info!!

 

Here you go, you’ll need the header rail on the back of the bed if you don’t already

Ok, I think I found your light bar mounting bar. Check out @Cudgel , I believe his truck has the same bar.

 

Thanks for the compliment!
Yes you’re correct. The demon eye is mounted between the shield and lens so it glows within the projector. I opted out for halos as I wanted my truck to look pissed off (like it’s owner haha)

I have it hooked up to a small little 9v battery to test it out before finalizing the lens seal with butyl



Edit: I found best way to separate the lens from the damn permaseal was 300 degrees at 12-13 minutes. Pull from the medial aspect/side of the headlight that faces the grille

 

StopTech Big Brake Kit on 16'' OEM wheels! Much better stopping stoppage stop stop. Brake bleed no fun.

 

I replaced the last two factory speakers today! New JBLs in the rear doors! Sounds good if you sit in the back, I can’t tell a difference while driving though.


I also put in some under hood lighting! The wiring is clean, but I need to find a clean way to hide the pin switch that turns the lights on and off with the hood. I used amber motorcycle stick on turn signals for the lights and mounted them to the plastic radiator cover.

 

Finally done!!! Front facing camera, two 12” JL audio TW3 subs with custome box, alpine halo 9, two sets of JL audio C2 component speakers for the front and back, JL audio RD 1000 amp for bass, JL audio RD 400 am for highs.

Nice install man. You do it?

 

No, Car Stereo Warehouse in Anaheim.

 

Forgot these pic’s




I just need to program my new switches

 

can you take a pic of the back(how the screen is mounted)?

 

I love this setup. Great job. One of the best I’ve seen

 

Thanks. The audio installer in me was just curious. After retrofitting a ton of Alpines first big screens (perfect fit, 8” INE, etc) wondering how they were doing the mounting solution now

 

Thanks

 

No problem

 

I just need to order one of these bad boys so I can add a blank switch to install my bass knob in.

 

Nice! Be careful when opening the tailgate with the single rack folded up or you'll put a couple of dimples in the tailgate. I modified mine so that I don't have to worry about that.
