What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I posted a few things I did earlier today here.

Just finished installing the LED interior light kit from deAutoLED...

OEM lights before...


After the install...Wow! What a difference!


I'm going to have to get used to how bright thay are...

 

Yes I have the same noise and yes really sounds like a little diesel truck even when I’m in P i can hear the noise, I think that’s normal

 

Went wheeling with my son (he's four) and @trackdaybro then installed raptor lights.

 

Damn, he's got a nicer truck than I do. No mall crawling for that bad boy.

 

Thank you for confirming that. I felt like it is only my truck being hyper

 

Santa was good to him. It is a bad dude, 24v with a tube chassis. Already looking to upgrade the coilovers.

 

Santa gave me a recovery hitch

 

Just ordered a faux pro grill from Madhornets. Hoping for the best!

 

Thanks No lift. Just 265 70 17 ko2

 

Nice! Brought me one too! One small step closer to "Offroad Ready". A satisfying step isn't it? I still have a long , long way to go though. Like the red.

 

Un-holey dash mount + phone mount:

 

Never have seen that one. Just googled it...thanks.

 

I would put some loc-tite on the threads and a locking pin on my receiver. Those are so easy for someone to steal.

 

Nice, clean install (in the end). What seat heaters did you use?

I've got a pair of Wet Okole covers w/ heaters that don't come with dash switches, so I'm going to have to do something custom (eventually).

 

Today mine got new trims and tires. Tomorrow pocket flairs.

 

Hauled about 400 lbs of drywall and some wood today. Love filling it up. Refinishing basement from old 70’s paneling to modern.

 

Looks good.

Right now the paint probably has it stuck tight enough but use it once and that pin can get sneaky and unscrew itself. Instead of loctite on the threads I run a wire* through the hole on the pin then the shackle just to keep it from unscrewing itself out and falling off. Then if you need to remove the shackle to run a strap or whatever all you have to do is snip the wire.

I don't worry about a locking pin since I don't have it mounted when mall-crawling. It stays in a bag with other recovery gear behind the back seat. I pull it out and mount it when I hit the trail or, if I forget, it gets pulled out when I need it.

* HomeDepot or Lowes, concrete section, black tie wire in a roll. In the kit bag with a few other odds and ends. Has come in handy for on the trail repairs more than once (like the time the cable from shifter to trans on the Jeep broke at one of the plastic connectors)

 

Installed vinyl inlays in door seals and glove box. TVD Vinyl decals, great product easy install.

 

It won't take long. I felt the same way, and now I can't believe how bad they were before.
