What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

After seeing the inside and all the work that he had to do they are extremely labor intensive. They were sold and something happened with they buyer so I got extremely lucky.

 

I am a sucker for your wheel color. Looks perfect

 

This is when a good hand winch and soil anchor, or a soil anchor and block is useful for recovery - especially if there’s no way to pull from the side directly from a truck mounted winch.

 

New MESO Ultimate Turn signals came in today and installed!!!








Also not today....
SOS Concepts Bolt on Sliders
Fire Extinguisher in Bed on a Drake Mount
Highlift mounted in rear on SOS Concept Highlift Mount
Xenon Depot Extreme HID Kit with 4300 Phillips bulbs in low beam (I know there are probably some haters out there on this one but I thoroughly tested the cutoff and lowered the beams slightly)

I need to make a build thread before I do the BOHM.

 

This baby finally came in today

Hopefully install tomorrow!

 

Yes. It takes a little longer to get warm but it works.

 

Some car therapy, did an oil change, and greased front drive shaft zerks

 

Yep, they're not very comfortable. I had the opportunity to drive a Suburban from GA to Venice, La, 8 hrs. I felt like I had not even been driving at the end of the trip. Definitely the most comfortable seats I have ever experienced.

 

I may not be an expert in this, but I’m still confused why they didn’t seem to use a snatch block, and just drug the poor truck

 

Whose Hidden Winch Bumper is that ? I like it. No hoop.

 

Nice I use the same breaker bar

 

You are right- they pulled from behind, tipping it from the side would have been better. As for damage, the poster on Instagram says the truck “fell 40 feet onto its side”. Thats probably where the damage occurred in the first place, it was probably already totaled before the video anyways by then. Offroad DUi, I bet - the people standing there sounded wasted to me! What a bad next day hangover the owner is going to have if he was there...

 

I’m very interested to know what you think after you install it.

 

Picked up my @Treeline tamarack rtt and mounted on some unistrut till i decide on a canopy or midheight rack.
Also picked up my emu liftkit on the weekend. Couldnt pass up last weeks labourday sale at 4wheel parts. Waiting to paint coils and struts then on she goes!!
September has been an expensive month.

 

Been a while since I wheeled so I had to go out and stretch the legs out. SOS Concepts sliders also picked up from powdercoater and installed today. Thanks @EddyRRT and @JimboAnz for working out all the kinks with me! Sliders look and feel sturdy, all with excellent customer service.

 

Thats cute. I have had mine 9 weeks and put 8000 miles on it! And thats just my normal commuting with a few extra trips thrown in.

 

Are you talking about the maglite setup? If you are it's ebay or Amazon that you want to look. Search "Maglite" and scroll down and you'll find what you're looking for.

 

Did some more electrical. After putting in the front LED bar and starting the install on my front camera, I realized how much I needed light under the hood when I have to work in there. I was able to put this together and install mostly from stuff I had on hand. I needed to make a trip to Lowe's for some more connectors and some zip tie anchors. I ended up re-purposing the switch from my Auxbeam 32" LED bar for this under-hood LED system. Works perfectly. Even in full daylight with these pics, it is a noticeable difference.

Also, and I'm unsure if I'll keep it this way, I added Amber tint to my fog lights. I like how orange they are when off, but I'm not a fan of off-white light. I'm torn.

I think I'd be ok with orange light when I ran them, which has me thinking. I might put the original bulbs back in the fogs and use the LEDs in my high beams. Decisions, decisions.
